Trello CLI

A command line interface (CLI) to easily interact with a Trello board via the Trello API.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or above
• Trello API key and token (refer to .env.example)

Assumptions

• The Trello board and lists already exist

Development Setup

1. Set up a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Configure environment variables:
   • Copy .env.example to .env
   • Fill in your Trello API key and token in the .env file
4. Run the CLI to test all Trello API calls:

   python src/cli.py
   

5. Run unit tests:

   pytest tests/test_api.py
   

Usage Instructions

1. Ensure you have completed the Development Setup steps above
2. Activate the virtual environment if not already active:

   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   

3. Run the CLI:

   python src/cli.py
   

4. Follow the CLI prompts to create a Trello card

Improvements for Future

• Implement ability to create Trello boards and lists if they don't exist
• Add support for advanced fields such as due dates and markdown formatting
• Set up GitHub CI/CD pipeline
• Implement code quality tools (Tox, flake8)
• Gracefully handle errors and edge cases
