needservice¶
New in version 0.6.0.
needservice
allows the import of data from external services like GitHub.
Example
.. needservice:: <service>
:option: ...
:status: open
:tags: awesome, nice
:author: me
Extra content for each new need
In most cases, the service fetches requested data from an external server and creates a need object for each found data-element in the returned data.
These need objects can then be used and referenced as all other need objects, e.g. by filtering them via needtable.
Hint
For details about available services and their specific configuration please take a look into Services.
Options¶
Each service can define custom options which may be needed for the service to work correctly. Please take a look into the related service documentation to find out what is needed.
Hint
needservice
supports all options available for the need / req (or any other defined need type) directive and
all custom options defined by needs_extra_options.
For services provided by Sphinx-Needs please take a look into Services.
debug¶
Set debug
to get debug-output of the needservice
only. No needs will be created.
Useful to understand the return values of services or to figure out, why a connection can not be established.
Example
.. needservice:: <service>
:debug:
Content¶
The content of needservice
is used as content for all created need objects.
A service may deviate from this behavior and define its own usage. For example, by awaiting a json-string with a more complex configuration or by just ignoring the content.
Please take a look into the related service documentation for more information.
GitHub Issues Example¶
This example is using the github-issues
service.
For details, please take a look into its specific documentation under GitHub services.
The service queries GitHub
for issues in the Sphinx-Needs repository that have node and latexpdf in
their content.
Example
.. needservice:: github-issues
:query: repo:useblocks/sphinx-needs node latexpdf
:max_content_lines: 4
:id_prefix: EXAMPLE_
Click the small arrow under the need id to see all meta data.
Result
Issue with sphinxneeds directives during latexpdf build (url)
