Trelfred

An experimental Alfred Workflow for quickly visiting Trello boards.

Ruby Version

By default Alfred workflows will run against system Ruby. This is sub optimal. This workflow expects there to be bash script in your home directory that will do whatever form of ruby version management you are partial to. This can be rvm, rbenv, chruby, direct $PATH manipulation, or other. In my case, I user RVM, so I have added the RVM init code to the file:

# ~/.ruby-version-shim
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

Create this file and alter this as needed to make use of your preferred ruby version system.

Gems

The repo contains a gemfile with the dependencies. Run bundle install to install the needed gems. Make sure to do this with the default ruby specified by the ~/.ruby-version-shim file.

Credentials

Trelfred expects credentials be exposed in a ~/.env file. The file should have the following structure / keys:

TRELLO_USERNAME=ctoomey
TRELLO_DEVELOPER_KEY=14363e6563fea5ace63d6f
TRELLO_TOKEN=0fd4c5bbab47cc9c2b81dcbedaf28061a1ac0934f14c7475af8857b76de96b99

TRELLO DEVELOPER KEY

You can generate this key by visiting here

TRELLO TOKEN

You can generate this key by visiting the following URL (note you will have to replace the developer token in this URL):

https://trello.com/1/authorize?key=substitutewithyourapplicationkey&name=Trelfred&expiration=never&response_type=token

You can find more detail in the Trello API Documentation - Generating a Token from a User section.

Usage

This workflow prosodies two pieces:

• A caching script cache-trello
• A script filter to prompt / open boards

The boards must be cached before the filter / opening can happen.
