Feat/task status icons by pabsan-0 · Pull Request #64 · textfuel/lazyjira

Closes #56: Helps identifying current pending/upcoming/reviewing work at a glance.

Adds an optional gui.statusIcons map. Statuses with a configured icon render as the icon in the issue list, unconfigured types keep their default. Empty by default. One could also write plaintext instead of icons.

gui:
  statusIcons:
    To do: "📋"
    On hold: "⏸️"
    Future: "🔜"

Thanks for the inspiration and boilerplate to @seflue, as this was basically copying his work

Thanks for implementing this!

I think, we should also extend the Config.md to make the feature easier to discover by users and LLMs - I forgot this, when I submitted my first PR.

The next use case for icons which comes to my mind are icons for priorities. What do you think?

Happy to ^^ This will be helpful in my day-to-day.

Regarding docs: I have just added info about statusIcons in Config.md. Given the similarity between the two features, took the liberty to also add info for typeIcons.

Regarding icons for priorities: Funnily enough, I've always being a hater of emojis in TUIs. I admit that for both the type and status scenario they do make sense because they save lots of horizontal space. IMO priorities could be handled with plain integers 0-N and yield more info in one single digit than any emoji could (with emojis you'd have to guess which of the two is more urgent, numbers solve that for you). To make this even clearer, maybe numbers could be painted increasingly red tone to clarify that higher=urgent. I'm not really acquainted with Jira urgency scale. We could either:

Implement priorities like we have done status and type e.g. having users map "medium" to 5 (or emojis if they like) in their config
If Jira urgency scale is not customisable and is always the same for everyone, add a config flag to display such colored integer based on the incoming priority string (Low, Medium...), rather than the string itself

Hm, the thing is: Enable the user to overwrite columns like the priorities gives them all sorts of options. I am a bit primed to the symbols Jira uses itself (the red ⏫ and 🔼 and the blue 🔽 and ⏬), but you can also define +2 ... -2 or A to whatever you like. As you said, the main driver here is communicating as much as possible with the least amount of space, because I need that for the actual content. 🙂

Thanks for the contribution. I guess @textfuel as the maintainer has to approve also to merge it.

Looks great, thanks!
Also thanks @seflue for jumping in on review, much appreciated. I will adjust CODEOWNERS
