#+TITLE:Org-Clubhouse

Simple, unopinionated integration between Emacs's [[https://orgmode.org/][org-mode]] and the [[https://clubhouse.io/][Clubhouse]]
issue tracker

(This used to be at urbint/org-clubhouse, by the way, but moved here as it's
more of a personal project than a company one)

* Installation

** [[https://github.com/quelpa/quelpa][Quelpa]]

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(quelpa '(org-clubhouse
          :fetcher github
          :repo "urbint/org-clubhouse"))
#+END_SRC

** [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/][DOOM Emacs]]

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; in packages.el
(package! org-clubhouse
  :recipe (:fetcher github
           :repo "urbint/org-clubhouse"
           :files ("*")))

;; in config.el
(def-package! org-clubhouse)
#+END_SRC

** [[http://spacemacs.org/][Spacemacs]]
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; in .spacemacs (SPC+fed)
   dotspacemacs-additional-packages
    '((org-clubhouse :location (recipe :fetcher github :repo "urbint/org-clubhouse")))
#+END_SRC


* Setup

Once installed, you'll need to set three global config vars:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-clubhouse-auth-token "<your-token>"
      org-clubhouse-team-name "<your-team-name>"
      org-clubhouse-username "<your-username>")
#+END_SRC

You can generate a new personal API token by going to the "API Tokens" tab on
the "Settings" page in the clubhouse UI.

* Usage

** Reading from clubhouse

- ~org-clubhouse-headlines-from-query~
  Create org-mode headlines from a [[https://help.clubhouse.io/hc/en-us/articles/360000046646-Searching-in-Clubhouse-Story-Search][clubhouse query]] at the cursor's current
  position, prompting for the headline indentation level and clubhouse query
  text
- ~org-clubhouse-headline-from-story~
  Prompts for headline indentation level and the title of a story (which will
  complete using the titles of all stories in your Clubhouse workspace) and
  creates an org-mode headline from that story
- ~org-clubhouse-headline-from-story-id~
  Creates an org-mode headline directly from the ID of a clubhouse story

** Writing to clubhouse

- ~org-clubhouse-create-story~
  Creates a new Clubhouse story from the current headline, or if a region of
  headlines is selected bulk-creates stories with all those headlines
- ~org-clubhouse-create-epic~
  Creates a new Clubhouse epic from the current headline, or if a region of
  headlines is selected bulk-creates epics with all those headlines
- ~org-clubhouse-create-story-with-task-list~
  Creates a Clubhouse story from the current headline, making all direct
  children of the headline into tasks in the task list of the story
- ~org-clubhouse-push-task-list~
  Writes each child element of the current clubhouse element as a task list
  item of the associated clubhouse ID.
- ~org-clubhouse-update-story-title~
  Updates the title of the Clubhouse story linked to the current headline with
  the text of the headline
- ~org-clubhouse-update-description~
  Update the status of the Clubhouse story linked to the current element with
  the contents of a drawer inside the element called DESCRIPTION, if any exists
- ~org-clubhouse-claim~
  Adds the user configured in ~org-clubhouse-username~ as the owner of the
  clubhouse story associated with the headline at point

*** Automatically updating Clubhouse story statuses

Org-clubhouse can be configured to update the status of stories as you update
their todo-keyword in org-mode. To opt-into this behavior, set the
~org-clubhouse-mode~ minor-mode:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-clubhouse-mode nil nil)
#+END_SRC

The mapping from org-mode todo-keywords is configured via the
~org-clubhouse-state-alist~ variable, which should be an [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Association-Lists.html][alist]] mapping (string)
[[https://orgmode.org/manual/Workflow-states.html][org-mode todo-keywords]] to the (string) names of their corresponding workflow
state. You can have todo-keywords that don't map to a workflow state (I use this
in my workflow extensively) and org-clubhouse will just preserve the previous
state of the story when moving to that state.

An example config:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq org-clubhouse-state-alist
      '(("TODO"   . "To Do")
        ("ACTIVE" . "In Progress")
        ("DONE"   . "Done")))
#+END_SRC

* Philosophy

I use org-mode every single day to manage tasks, notes, literate programming,
etc. Part of what that means for me is that I already have a system for the
structure of my .org files, and I don't want to sacrifice that system for any
external tool. Updating statuses, ~org-clubhouse-create-story~, and
~org-clubhouse-headline-from-story~ are my bread and butter for that reason -
rather than having some sort of bidirectional sync that pulls down full lists of
all the stories in Clubhouse (or whatever issue tracker / project management
tool I'm using at the time). I can be in a mode where I'm taking meeting notes,
think of something that I need to do, make it a TODO headline, and make that
TODO headline a clubhouse story. That's the same reason for the DESCRIPTION
drawers rather than just sending the entire contents of a headline to
Clubhouse - I almost always want to write things like personal notes, literate
code, etc inside of the tasks I'm working on, and don't always want to share
that with Clubhouse.
