Sunset Notice

I no longer use this project regularly, though based on npm downloads it might still be used by some people. I am archiving the project as I no longer have the time or the interest in maintaining it. If anyone would like to take over ownership, hit me up on twitter @AdamTuttle and I can transfer it to you.

Trello Events

Poll the Trello API every N milliseconds for activity on your boards. Emits events for each action taken on the specified boards.

var Trello = require("trello-events");
var trello = new Trello({
  pollFrequency: 1000 * 60,
  minId: 0,
  start: true,
  trello: {
    boards: ["Nz5nyqZg", "..."],
    key: "your-trello-api-key",
    token: "your-trello-api-token",
  },
});

• pollFrequency: frequency in milliseconds that the Trello api is polled
• minId: The minimum id value at which to start emitting events (more on this later)
• start: whether or not to start polling the api immediately (default: false)
• trello.boards: array of trello board id's to watch (get them from the URL)
• trello.key: Get your developer (public) key here
• trello.token: Generate your token. <PUBLIC_KEY> is the value from the previous step
  • Short term: https://trello.com/1/connect?name=trello-events&response_type=token&key=<PUBLIC_KEY>
  • No expiration: https://trello.com/1/connect?name=trello-events&response_type=token&expiration=never&key=<PUBLIC_KEY>

Events Emitted

• trelloError, if the trello api throws an error
• maxId, when new activity has been processed from the API. Sends the new max activity id; enabling you to persist it (implementation details up to you). When you later re-instantiate an instance of Trello Events, pass this value as the minId configuration option to ignore any activity pre-dating that id.

In addition, events are emitted for each action type listed in the trello api docs (as filtering options): addAttachmentToCard, addChecklistToCard, addMemberToBoard, etc.

For example, to subscribe to updateCard events:

trello.on('updateCard', function(event, boardId){...});
