(JavaScript) Send GMail with Attachments
Demonstrates how to send an email containing attachments using the GMail REST API.
var success = false;
// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
// Use the Chilkat Email API to create or load an email.
var email = new CkEmail();
// The From name/address don't need to be specified.
// GMail will automatically use your Gmail address if the following 2 lines are omitted.
email.FromName = "My Name";
email.FromAddress = "my_account_name@gmail.com";
email.AddTo("John Smith","somebody@somewhere.com");
// To add more recipients, make additional calls to AddTo or AddCC, one per recipient...
email.Subject = "This is a test GMail email created using Chilkat.";
email.Charset = "utf-8";
email.AddPlainTextAlternativeBody("This is a test");
// Create an HTML email body with an embedded image.
var cid = email.AddRelatedFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg");
var sbHtml = new CkStringBuilder();
sbHtml.Append("<html><body>This is a <b>test</b><br><img src=\"cid:STARFISH_CID\"/></body></html>");
var numReplacements = sbHtml.Replace("STARFISH_CID",cid);
email.AddHtmlAlternativeBody(sbHtml.GetAsString());
// Add some attachments..
var mimeType = email.AddFileAttachment("qa_data/helloWorld.pdf");
if (email.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
console.log("Failed to add PDF attachment.");
return;
}
mimeType = email.AddFileAttachment("qa_data/msword/sample2.docx");
if (email.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
console.log("Failed to add MS-Word attachment.");
return;
}
// OK.. we now have an HTML email with 2 attachments..
var sbMime = new CkStringBuilder();
email.GetMimeSb(sbMime);
// Send the email. (GMail has a 5MB limit on the total email size.)
var http = new CkHttp();
http.AuthToken = "GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN";
// Send using the simple upload request for the Gmail API
var url = "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send?uploadType=media";
var sendGzipped = true;
var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpSb("POST",url,sbMime,"utf-8","message/rfc822",resp);
if (success == false) {
console.log(http.LastErrorText);
return;
}
// A status code of 200 indicates success.
console.log("Response status code: " + resp.StatusCode);
console.log("Response body:");
console.log(resp.BodyStr);
// The response body contains JSON.
// Use the online tool at Generate JSON Parsing Code
// to generate JSON parsing code.
// A sample successful JSON response:
// {
// "id": "166f0d4ac39e50bf",
// "threadId": "166f0d4ac39e50bf",
// "labelIds": [
// "SENT"
// ]
// }
