Opening JIRA issues from vim

Did you ever want to open a JIRA issue from vim, so you copied the jira issue name, opened the browser, opened JIRA then pasted the issue id into the search, then clicked on the search result?

That sequence above is terribly tedious!

With the vim script below, you just position your cursor on top of the ticket id, then hit gj and boom! Issue is opened in your browser!

Config:

let g:jira_host = 'https://your.jira.url.here'

jira.vim

function OpenJira()
  let l:word = expand("<cWORD>")
  let l:match = matchlist(l:word, '\(\w\+-\d\+\)')
  if empty(l:match)
    return 0
  endif
  let l:issue = l:match[1]
  let l:url = g:jira_host .. '/browse/' .. l:issue
  call netrw#BrowseX(l:url, 0)
endfun

command OpenJira :call OpenJira()<CR>
nnoremap gj :OpenJira<CR>

let g:jira_host = 'https://jira.example.com'
