Ability to search issues?

[jcroall]

Description

When using the Issues module, is it possible to pass options to it? E.g. to search title/description ("search") or status like opened/closed/all?

At first I thought I could pass options to Issues.all(), but I can't tell if this is actually just pagination options. It doesn't seem to honor the options I'm passing, which are taken from the GitLab API reference. I thought this might work:

    let issues = await api.Issues.all({
        projectId: project_id,
        options: {
            search: title_search,
            state: "opened"
        }
    })

For a large project the "all" issues could be quite significant and time consuming to filter locally!

Thanks!

Hey!

With the object styled arguments, you don't need to nest them into an options parameter. This should work:

 let issues = await api.Issues.all({
        projectId: project_id,
        search: title_search,
        state: "opened"
    })

Thanks! Makes sense, but it still seems to be returning everything. For now I'm post-processing the list, but I worry about scale as projects get larger with longer history.

100%

If you want to paginate those filtered results, you could add offset pagination settings:

const { data, paginationInfo } = await api.Issues.all({
    projectId: project_id,
    search: title_search,
    state: "opened",
    page:1,
    showExpanded: true
});

Where the response would be in this format:

data: [
...
],
paginationInfo: {
  next: 4,
  current: 2,
  previous: 1,
  perPage: 3,
}

Its still a bit rough around the edges and is being revisited in #1702, but it should get the job done as it!
