NAME
WWW::Workflowy - an unofficial API for Workflowy
VERSION
version 0.1
SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Workflowy;
# manually log in and update the tree
my $wfl = WWW::Workflowy->new();
$wfl->log_in('workflowy_user@example.com', 'workflowy_password');
$wfl->get_tree();
# same as above but with less code
my $wfl = WWW::Workflowy->new( username => 'workflowy_user@example.com', password => 'workflowy_password');
# all list data lives in $wfl->tree
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper($wfl->tree);
# create a new item
my $parent_id = ...; # grab the id of a parent from $wfl->tree
my $child_data = {
name => 'This is a new Workflowy list item!',
note => 'This item has a note', # optional
priority => 999, # put this item below all its siblings
};
$wfl->create_item( $parent_id, $child_data);
# update an item
my $item_data = {
id => ..., # grab this value from $wfl->tree
name => "This item has been edited."
note => "This note has been edited too.",
}
$wfl->update_item($item_data);
# log out (happens automatically during object destruction)
$wfl->log_out();
DESCRIPTION
This module provides an unoffical Perl interface for retrieving and manipulating the data stored in a Workflowy list.
Note that Workflowy do not currently attempt to maintain a stable API, so it is possible that this module could break without notice. The maintainer of this module uses it on a daily basis and will try to keep it running, but using it for anything mission-critical is ill-advised.
This module is not officially affiliated with or supported by Workflowy.
ATTRIBUTES
ua
the user agent used to access Workflowy
tree
This is a read-only ArrayRef that contains all items in the workflowy
list. To modify the tree, use edit_item or create_item. Each item has
the following format:
* id - a UUID that identifies this item
* nm - the name of this item
* no - the note attached to this item (only present when used)
* ch - an ArrayRef of this item's children (only present when used)
config
stores configuration information from Workflowy
last_transaction_id
stores the id of the most recent transaction
logged_in
true if this instance has successfully logged in and hasn't logged out
yet
parent_map
internal cache that maps child ids to parent ids
id_map
internal cache that maps ids to item hashrefs
wf_uri
the url where Workflowy (or some hypothetical compatible service) lives
client_version
workflowy-internal int that's used for API versioning; if this changes,
API breakage is very likely
METHODS
log_in($username, $password)
Log in to a Workflowy account.
log_out($ua)
Be polite and log out. This method is called automatically on
destruction, so you probably don't need to use it explicitly unless
you're doing something unusual.
get_tree($ua)
Retrieve the current state of this user's Workflowy tree. Since this is
the primary method of retrieving data from Workflowy, you'll need to
call this method before attempting to manipulate any Workflowy data.
update_item($item_data)
Modify the name and/or notes of an existing item.
create_item($parent_id, $child_data)
Create a child item below the specified parent and return the id of the
new child.
find_parent_id($child_id)
Given the id of a valid child, return the id of its immediate parent.
_last_transaction_id
Return the id of the most recent transaction.
_client_timestamp($wf_tree)
Calculate and return the client_timestamp, as expected by workflowy.
Omitting this field from a request appears to have no effect, but I
implemented it while debugging something else and don't see any reason
not to keep the code around.
_run_wf_ops ()
apply a set of operations from Workflowy to the local representation of
the tree
_apply_create_op($op_data)
Apply a create operation from Workflowy to the local tree.
_apply_edit_op($op_data)
Apply an edit operation from Workflowy to the local tree.
_apply_move_op($op_data)
Apply a move operation from Workflowy to the local tree.
_apply_delete_op($op_data)
Apply a delete operation from Workflowy to the local tree.
_gen_push_poll_id($len)
Generate a random alnum string of $len characters.
_gen_uuid
Generate a uuid using rand as the source of entropy.
_update_maps
Calculate and cache information on each item.
_update_maps_rec($children, $parent_id)
helper for _update_maps
_check_client_version
Try to check that Workflowy isn't serving an unknown version of their
api. If the version number from Workflowy is different from the
hard-coded value from this module, return false. Otherwise return true;
