ClickUp Integration: Streamline Wfuwp CLI Task Management

by Felix Dubois 58 views

Embarking on a development journey often involves juggling multiple tools and platforms. For WordPress developers working with WFU environments, managing tasks in ClickUp can sometimes feel like a separate universe. Imagine a world where you could seamlessly create, retrieve, and manage your ClickUp tasks directly from your command line. This feature request proposes integrating ClickUp task management functionality into the wfuwp CLI tool, aiming to bridge that gap and supercharge your workflow efficiency. Let's dive into why this integration is a game-changer, how we plan to implement it, and what the future holds for this exciting feature.

Summary

The heart of this proposal is to add ClickUp task management capabilities to the wfuwp CLI tool. This integration will empower users to create, retrieve, and manage ClickUp tasks without ever leaving their command line environment. By bringing ClickUp functionality directly into the CLI, we aim to eliminate context switching and streamline the development workflow, making it more efficient and less disruptive.

Motivation

For developers immersed in WFU WordPress environments, ClickUp is often a central hub for task tracking and project management. However, the constant need to switch between the command line and ClickUp's interface can be a significant drain on productivity. By integrating ClickUp functionality into the wfuwp CLI, developers can stay focused on their code and tasks, reducing distractions and improving overall efficiency. This integration is not just about convenience; it's about creating a more fluid and intuitive development experience.

Implementation Plan

To ensure a smooth and manageable development process, we've outlined a phased implementation plan. This approach allows us to deliver functional units incrementally, gather feedback, and iterate effectively. The implementation will be rolled out in six distinct phases, each building upon the previous one.

Phase 1: Core Infrastructure & Authentication 🏗️

The foundation of any successful integration lies in its core infrastructure. Phase 1 focuses on laying the groundwork for ClickUp API integration within the wfuwp CLI. This involves creating the necessary files and structures, extending the configuration system, and establishing a reliable HTTP client.

Deliverables:

  • Creation of src/commands/clickup.ts to serve as the base command structure for all ClickUp-related functionality.
  • Extension of src/utils/config.ts to securely store ClickUp API tokens, utilizing encryption for enhanced security. This ensures that sensitive credentials are never exposed.
  • Development of src/utils/clickup-client.ts, an HTTP client specifically designed for interacting with the ClickUp API. This client will incorporate rate limiting to prevent overwhelming the API and ensure smooth operation.
  • Implementation of basic error handling and API connectivity validation. This ensures that the CLI can gracefully handle potential issues and provide informative feedback to the user.

New Configuration Keys:

To accommodate ClickUp-specific settings, we'll introduce the following configuration keys:

{
  "clickup": {
    "token": "encrypted_api_token",
    "defaultListId": "optional_default_list",
    "defaultWorkspaceId": "optional_workspace"
  }
}
  • token: Stores the encrypted ClickUp API token.
  • defaultListId: An optional setting to specify a default list for task creation.
  • defaultWorkspaceId: An optional setting to define a default workspace.

Commands Added:

To manage ClickUp configuration, we'll introduce the following commands:

wfuwp clickup config set token pk_xxxxx
wfuwp clickup config show
  • wfuwp clickup config set token pk_xxxxx: Allows users to set their ClickUp API token.
  • wfuwp clickup config show: Displays the current ClickUp configuration (excluding the full API token for security reasons).

Phase 2: Basic Task Management ✅

With the core infrastructure in place, Phase 2 focuses on implementing the fundamental task management features. This phase will enable users to create and retrieve tasks directly from the CLI.

Deliverables:

  • Implementation of the clickup create command, allowing users to create new ClickUp tasks with required parameters like title and list.
  • Development of the clickup task <id> command for retrieving a single task by its ID.
  • Introduction of the clickup whoami command for user verification and retrieving the user's ClickUp ID.
  • Provision of basic success feedback, including ClickUp task links, to guide users to the newly created or retrieved tasks.

Commands Added:

wfuwp clickup create "Task title" --list <list-id>
wfuwp clickup task <task-id>
wfuwp clickup whoami
  • `wfuwp clickup create
