Issue Relations

In this context, an issue relation resource is what defines how an issue is related to one or more issues. See Redmine docs. for details.

Create new relation

The easiest way to relate an issue with another, is by using the addRelation() method, in the Issue resource.

$issueA = Issue::find(2254);
$issueB = Issue::find(8741);

$relation = $issueA->addRelation($issueA);

In the example shown above, issue A is related with issue B. The resulting output of the addRelation() method, is a Relation resource, containing details about the issue association.

Specify type of relation

You may also specify the type of the relation, by using the 2nd argument.

use Aedart\Redmine\Relation;

$issueA = Issue::find(2254);
$issueB = Issue::find(8741);

$relation = $issueA->addRelation($issueA, Relation::DUPLICATES);

Note: When type of relation is not specified, then Relation::RELATES is used as the default relation type.

Specify "Delay"

The Relation::PRECEDES or Relation::FOLLOWS relation types accept an additional "delay" argument. The 3rd argument can be used for stating the delay in amount of days.

$relation = $issueA->addRelation($issueA, Relation::FOLLOWS, 2);

Fetch existing relations

To fetch an issue with all of it's relations, you must include "relations", when fetching an issue.

$issue = Issue::findOrFail(1234, [ 'relations'] );

$relations = $issue->relations;

foreach($relations as $relation) {
    echo $relation->relation_type;
}

Delete relation

Once you have obtained a relation, you can simply invoke the delete() method to remove the relation between two issues.

$relation->delete();
