Asana Build Status

A node.js client for the 1.0 version of the Asana API.

Design Decisions

  • Thin Wrapper This client is a thin wrapper which means that the client makes no attempt to verify the validity of the arguments locally. All errors are reported by the server. We include custom Error types which will contain the response from the server.
  • Promises Promises with bluebird seem like the most neutral way to support node's various async paradigms. If you want promises, you get them by default. If you want callbacks, bluebird promises support nodeify which takes a callback as parameter. For generators and streams, co and highland also support promises respectively. Beyond that, other major libraries such as mongoose, mocha, and elastic search (which uses bluebird) also support promises.

Examples

Find all incomplete tasks assigned to me that are new or marked for today across my workspaces

var asana = require('asana');
var util = require('util');

var client = asana.Client.basicAuth(process.env.ASANA_API_KEY);

client.users.me().then(function(user) {
  return user.workspaces.map(function(workspace) {
    return {
      user: user.id,
      workspace: workspace.id
    };
  });
}).map(function(data) {
  return client.tasks.findAll({
    assignee: data.user,
    workspace: data.workspace,
    completed_since: 'now',
    opt_fields: 'id,name,assignee_status,completed'
  }).filter(function(task) {
    return task.assignee_status === 'today' ||
      task.assignee_status === 'new';
  });
}).reduce(function(list, tasks) {
  return list.concat(tasks);
}, []).then(function(list) {
  console.log(util.inspect(list, {
    colors: true,
    depth: null
  }));
});

Installation

Install with npm

npm install asana --save

Documentation

The code is thoroughly documented with JsDoc tags and online documentation can be found on the wiki. Also, the Official Asana Documentation is a great resource since this is just a thin wrapper for the API.
