Asana

This gem is a simple Ruby wrapper for the Asana REST API. It uses ActiveResource to provide a simple, familiar interface for accessing your Asana account.

To learn more, check out the Asana API Documentation.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'asana'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install asana

Usage

In order to access Asana, you need to provide your API key.

Asana.configure do |client|
  client.api_key = 'your_asana_api_key'
end

As a sanity check, you can fetch the object representing your user.

Asana::User.me

A user object represents an account in Asana that can be given access to various workspaces, projects, and tasks.

Like other objects in the system, users are referred to by numerical IDs. However, the special string identifier me can be used anywhere a user ID is accepted, to refer to the current authenticated user.

Note: It is not possible to create, update, or delete a user from the API.

# Get users from all of your workspaces
users = Asana::User.all

# Get a specific user
user = Asana::User.find(:user_id)

# Get the user associated with the API key being used
user = Asana::User.me

# Get all users in a given workspace
workspace = Asana::Workspace.find(:workspace_id)
users = workspace.users

A workspace is the most basic organizational unit in Asana. All projects and tasks have an associated workspace.

Note: It is not possible to create or delete a workspace from the API.

# Get all workspaces
workspaces = Asana::Workspace.all

# Get a specific workspace
workspace = Asana::Workspace.find(:workspace_id)

# Get all projects in a given workspace
projects = workspace.projects

# Get all tasks in a given workspace that are assigned to the given user
tasks = workspace.tasks(:user_id)

# Get all users with access to a given workspace
users = workspace.users

# Create a new task in a given workspace and assign it to the current user
workspace.create_task(:name => 'Get milk from the grocery store')

A project represents a prioritized list of tasks in Asana. It exists in a single workspace and is accessible to a subset of users in that workspace depending on its permissions.

Note: It is not possible to create or delete a project from the API.

# Get all projects
projects = Asana::Project.all

# Get a specific project
project = Asana::Project.find(:project_id)

# Get all projects in a given workspace
workspace = Asana::Workspace.find(:workspace_id)
projects = workspace.projects

The task is the basic object around which many operations in Asana are centered. In the Asana application, multiple tasks populate the middle pane according to some view parameters, and the set of selected tasks determine the more detailed information presented in the details pane.

# Get all tasks in a given project
project = Asana::Project.find(:project_id)
tasks = project.tasks

# Get all tasks in a given workspace
workspace = Asana::Workspace.find(:workspace_id)
tasks = workspace.tasks

# Get all stories for a given task
task = tasks.first
stories = task.stories

# Create a new task in a given workspace and assign it to the current user
workspace.create_task(:name => 'Get milk from the grocery store')

# Create a new story for the given task
task.create_story(story_settings)

A story represents an activity associated with an object in the Asana system. Stories are generated by the system whenever users take actions such as creating or assigning tasks, or moving tasks between projects. Comments are also a form of user-generated story.

Note: It is not possible to update or delete a story from the API.

# Get all stories for a given task
project = Asana::Project.find(:project_id)
task = project.tasks.first
stories = task.stories

# Get a specific story
story = Story.find(:story_id)

# Create a new story for the given task
task.create_story(story_settings)
