Demonstrates how to create a new GMail label.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var http = new CkHttp();
http.AuthToken = "GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN";

var userId = "me";
http.SetUrlVar("userId",userId);

// Create the JSON to be sent in the HTTP request body.
// The name of the new label is "questions".
var json = new CkJsonObject();
json.UpdateString("name","questions");
json.UpdateString("labelListVisibility","labelShow");
json.UpdateString("messageListVisibility","show");

json.EmitCompact = false;
console.log(json.Emit());

// The JSON contains this:
// {
//   "name": "questions",
//   "labelListVisibility": "labelShow",
//   "messageListVisibility": "show"
// }

var url = "https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/{$userId}/labels";
var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpJson("POST",url,json,"application/json",resp);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("status = " + resp.StatusCode);

// A 200 response status indicate success.
if (resp.StatusCode !== 200) {
    console.log(resp.BodyStr);
    console.log("Failed.");
    return;
}

// A successful repsonse contains JSON that looks like this:

// {
//  "id": "Label_43",
//  "name": "questions",
//  "messageListVisibility": "show",
//  "labelListVisibility": "labelShow"
// }

console.log("response body:");
console.log(resp.BodyStr);

console.log("GMail label created!");
