@push.rocks/smartmail

a unified format for representing and dealing with mails

Install

To install @push.rocks/smartmail, you'll need Node.js installed on your system. With Node.js installed, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install @push.rocks/smartmail --save

This will add @push.rocks/smartmail to your project's dependencies.

Usage

@push.rocks/smartmail provides a unified format for representing and dealing with emails in a Node.js environment. Below, you will find several examples showcasing how to use its main features, including email address validation and creation of mail objects with attachments.

Importing the Module

First, ensure you're using ESM (ECMAScript Modules) syntax in your TypeScript project. Then, import the necessary classes:

import {
  Smartmail,
  EmailAddressValidator
} from '@push.rocks/smartmail';

Validate Email Addresses

You can validate email addresses to check whether they are disposable, belong to a free email provider, or verify their validity in terms of having an MX record.

// Instantiate the EmailAddressValidator
const emailValidator = new EmailAddressValidator();

// Validate an email address
const validateEmail = async (email: string) => {
  const validationResult = await emailValidator.validate(email);
  console.log(validationResult);
};

// Example usage
validateEmail('example@gmail.com').then(() => {
  console.log('Email validation completed.');
});

Creating and Using Smartmail Objects

Smartmail class allows you to represent an email in a structured way, including attachments, subject, body, and more. Here's how to use it:

import { Smartmail } from '@push.rocks/smartmail';
import { Smartfile } from '@push.rocks/smartfile';

// Create a new Smartmail object
const myMail = new Smartmail({
  from: 'no-reply@yourdomain.com',
  subject: 'Welcome to Our Service',
  body: 'Hello {{name}}, welcome to our service!'
});

// Use Smartfile to prepare an attachment (optional)
const attachment = new Smartfile.fromLocalPath('path/to/your/attachment.pdf');
myMail.addAttachment(attachment);

// Accessing and modifying the mail object's properties
console.log(myMail.getSubject({ name: 'John Doe' }));
console.log(myMail.getBody({ name: 'John Doe' }));

// The `getCreationObject` method can be used to retrieve the original creation object
console.log(myMail.getCreationObject());

Email Address Validation Details

The EmailAddressValidator class fetches domain information either from a local JSON file or an online source to categorize email domains as disposable, free, or valid based on MX records. Here's a deeper look into validating email addresses and interpreting the results:

// Instantiate the validator
const validator = new EmailAddressValidator();

// Validate an email
validator.validate('someone@disposablemail.com').then(result => {
  if (result.valid && !result.disposable) {
    console.log('Email is valid and not disposable.');
  } else {
    console.log('Email is either invalid or disposable.');
  }
  if (result.freemail) {
    console.log('Email belongs to a free mail provider.');
  }
});

Handling Attachments

As shown in the example, attachments can be added to a Smartmail object. Smartfile (from @push.rocks/smartfile) is utilized to handle file operations, allowing you to attach files easily to your email object. Ensure that attachments are in the appropriate format and accessible before adding them to the Smartmail object.

Conclusion

These examples cover the basics of using @push.rocks/smartmail for handling emails within your Node.js applications. By leveraging the Smartmail and EmailAddressValidator classes, you can efficiently represent, validate, and manage email data, enhancing the robustness and functionality of your email-related features.
