Method Detail

convertToDelimitedString

public static String convertToDelimitedString(Labelable obj,
                                              com.atlassian.user.User user)

Helper method converting list of labels associated with the labelable object into a space separated string of the label names.

convertToDelimitedString

public static String convertToDelimitedString(List names)

joinIds

public static String joinIds(List labels,
                             String separator)

isValidLabelNames

public static boolean isValidLabelNames(String delimitedLabelNames)

Parameters:

delimitedLabelNames - contains a list of label names delimited by LABEL_DELIM_CHARS

Returns:

true if the delimitedLabelNames represents a string of valid label names, false otherwise.

isValidLabelNames

public static boolean isValidLabelNames(Collection names)

Parameters:

names - a collection of label names as Strings.

Returns:

true if the delimitedLabelNames represents a string of valid label names, false otherwise.

isValidLabelName

public static boolean isValidLabelName(String labelName)

isValidLabelLengths

public static boolean isValidLabelLengths(String concatenatedLabelNames)

isValidLabelLengths

public static boolean isValidLabelLengths(Collection labelNames)

isValidLabelLength

public static boolean isValidLabelLength(String input)

getVisibleLabelNames

public static List getVisibleLabelNames(List labels,
                                        String username)

Get a list of the visible label names for this content. System labels and personal labels that do not belong to this user will be stripped. Visible non-global label names will have their namespace prefixed( i.e. my:foo, team:bar)

Parameters:

labels - the list of Label objects to filter

username - the user who the list is being filtered for

Returns:

a list of the names of the labels as Strings that the user can see

split

public static List<String> split(String input)

Split the input string according to the label delimitation rules.

Parameters:

input -

Returns:

a collection of strings, each representing a label name, in the order in which they appeared in the original input.

countLabels

public static int countLabels(String input)

Counts the labels present in an input string. Counts each appearance of duplicate labels.

Parameters:

input - a string of labels delimited by the characters in LABEL_DELIM_CHARS. May be null or empty.

Returns:

the number of labels present in the string. Returns 0 for empty or null strings.

syncState

public static boolean syncState(String source,
                                LabelManager labelManager,
                                com.atlassian.user.User user,
                                Labelable dest,
                                boolean removeUnusedLabels)

Neat method that will synchronize a space separated list of label names with the labels contained within the labelable object. Labels that do not exist in the comma separated list will be removed, and labels that appear in the comma separated list will be created.

If a label is removed and that label no longer labels any labelable content, then it will be deleted if the removeUnusedLabels is set to true.

Parameters:

source - is a space separated list of label names, eg: the following list "LabelA LabelB LabelC" will be converted into label instances with the names 'LabelA', 'LabelB' and 'LabelC'

addLabel

                                          LabelManager labelManager,
                                          com.atlassian.user.User user,
                                          Labelable dest)

Adds the label to the specified object. The label is a string in the form of an unparsed label, and is validated by isValidLabelName(String) and isValidLabelLength(String).

If the label can't be added, already exists, or is invalid, this method returns null.

Returns:

the label that was created and added or null if no label was added.
