How to access custom fields?

Hi,

Many thanks for creating the library!

My question is around Trello's Custom Fields (the PowerUp). Is there a way to access the Custom Fields data from ruby-trello? I tried card.plugin_data for a card with Custom Fields but it yielded an empty array.

Thanks!

As noted in the description for #250, Trello moved custom fields to its own endpoint and cannot really be access from plugin data anymore. My PR to update this gem is still pending so I just worked around it using HTTParty:

# To get the custom field data for a single card
base_uri = 'https://api.trello.com'
custom_field_endpoint = "/1/cards/#{card.id}/customFieldItems/"
response = HTTParty.get(base_uri + custom_field_endpoint)
JSON.parse(response.body, symbolize_names: true)

Many thanks!

I found this works, too:

response = card.instance_variable_get(:@client)
               .get("/cards/#{card.id}/customFieldItems/")
json = JSON.parse(response.body, symbolize_names: true)
