asana-cache-local

cache all tasks within an asana workspace, onto your local machine. caches only tasks that have been assigned. tasks are all stored in a single NoSQL store. cache.refresh() uses the asana incrimental API, and only pulls down updates on tasks since they have last been modified, or new tasks since the store has last been updated. :)

// example
var asana = require('asana');
var client = asana.Client.create().useBasicAuth('your-api-key');
var Cacher = require('asana-cache-local');
var cacher = new Cache({
    client: client,
    workspace: 123456789,
    verbose: true
});
var log = function() { console.dir(arguments); };

cacher.refresh()
    .then(function() {
        cacher.tasks.all().then(log); // show all tasks!
        cacher.users.all().then(log); // show all users!
    });

constructor // new Cacher(opts)

• @param {object} opts
• @option {number} workspace - id of tasks to cache
• @option {object} client - asana api client, with authorization set
• @options {string=} dbpath - folder to store local database dbs/caches
• @option {boolean=} verbose - enable logging of non-error/warning events
  • @default undefined
• @option {string=} fields to include in task. must be formatted (kind of goofyish, as done with the @default below)
  • @default 'completed,completed_at,created_at,due_on,assignee_status,modified_at,parent,notes,name'

methods

refresh

Downloads all of the assigned tasks from the workspace, user-by-user, and stores them in a local db. On subsequent calls, tasks fetched that are new/updated are only recieved from the point of last update (so it speeds up after first run).

• @return {proimse}
• @resolves {undefined}

loadUsersToCache()

Loads the users onto the cache for ease of access. Users can be accessed via cacher.cache.users (array), or cacher.cache.usersById (object indexed by user id)

• @return {promise}
• @resolves {array} list of users

var promise1 = cacher.tasks.all();
var promise2 = cacher.loadUsersToCache();
Promise.all([promise1, promise2]).then(function assignNamesToAssignees(r) {
    var tasks = r[0];
    var users = r[1];
    tasks.forEach(function(task) {
        /* cacher.cache.usersById = {
         *    12345678: 'bill brasky',
         *    ...
         * }
         */
        task.assignmeeName = cacher.cache.usersById[task.assignee];
    });
