## What is this?

This is a simple project/proof of concept to sync a set of tasks with a trello board:

I've set it up for managing [devopsdays events](http://devopsdays.org) boards.

- It uses the Trello API 

## Credentials

- You'll need get a Trello key - 

- Generating is easy - 

This will give you a public_key and secret. (this allows read access)

For write access you need to allow this app to your account

    https://trello.com/1/authorize?key=your_public_key_here&name=this_app_name&response_type=token&scope=read,write,account&expiration=never

Use the above URL and replace your-public-key-here and change the name of the app this_app_name (f.i. trello-tasks)

## Configuring it

you need 3 files: credentials.yml settings.yml tasks.yml

Yes specifying this from the commandline is nice, but it works for now :)

### Credentials.yml

    ---

    :secret: your secret here - the second box from https://trello.com/1/appKey/generate

    :key: your app key secret here - the token you receive in approve file downloaded from https://trello.com/1/authorize?key=substitutewithyourapplicationkey&name=myapp&response_type=token&scope=read,write,account&expiration=never

    :public_key: your public key here - the first box from https://trello.com/1/appKey/generate

### Settings.yml

    ---

    :board_id: yourboardidhere - you can extract this from the URL for your board - for example https://trello.com/board/test/50ba4eeeb01f8e6a09003528

    :dday: optional due date (use DD-MM-YYYY) format

### Tasks.yml

This file is an array of tasks: Example:

    ---

    - :name: Find a venue

      :description: we really need to find a venue

      :due: -30

    - :name: Announce new event

      :description: Once the venue is selected we will announce it

      :checklist: linkedin, googlegroup, facebook, twitter, sponsors

    - :name: Select program schedule

      :description: Final selection

## Install it

We have a Gemfile and .rvmrc in the project , will install necessary gems

    bundle install

## Running it

    bundle exec ruby trello-tasks.rb

- This will create the tasks in the order they are listed

- If the task name already exists it will do nothing

- If the due date has been specified it will add this (if the task does not have one)

  (useful once a final date has been decided for an event)

- If a checklist has been specified it will add it

## Technology and kudos

I got it working in no time thanks to:

- Ruby-Trello Gem:
