Class: Board

TrelloEntities.Board(data)

The Board class represents a Board in Trello. Every Notification will have a board object associated with it because all Trellinator webhooks are registered at the board level. When a Time Trigger function is added, the parameters passed into the function are simply a board id that can be passed directly into the constructor for Board.

If you need to access another board, use the Trellinator class to load it.

Constructor

new Board(data)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
data

(Object} key/value pairs of information, must at least contain "id", can basically just pass in response from Trello API

//a function executed from a Time Trigger
