Managing components

Getting ready

Create a JIRA REST client as mentioned in the Writing a Java client for the REST API recipe.

1. Create a ComponentInput object with the necessary details.

   ComponentInput componentInput = new ComponentInput("JRJC", "Test", "jobinkk", AssigneeType.COMPONENT_LEAD);

2. Use the createComponent method on ComponentRestClient.

   Promise<Component> component = jiraRestClient.getComponentRestClient().createComponent("DEMO", componentInput);

   Promise<Component> component= jiraRestClient.getComponentRestClient().getComponent(componentURI);

4. Given a component, you can update it by sending a new ComponentInput object with updated parameters. For example, if you want to change the project lead to "test", you can do it as follows:
