Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

See more MIME Examples

Calls SetBodyFromPlainText to load plain-text into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/plain", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the text. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const mime = try chilkat.Mime.init();
    defer mime.deinit();

    // Add a few header fields:
    try mime.addHeaderField("Description", "this is a test");
    try mime.addHeaderField("MyId", "123");

    const text_body = "This is the plain-text body";

    try mime.setBodyFromPlainText(text_body);

    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try mime.getMime(alloc)});

    // The MIME should look like this:

    // Description: this is a test
    // MyId: 123
    // Content-Type: text/plain;
    // Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    //
    // This is the plain-text body

    // Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
    // For example, to use "base64", do this:
    mime.setEncoding("base64");

    // Show the MIME again, this time using the base64
    // transfer encoding:
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try mime.getMime(alloc)});

    // It should look like this:

    // Description: this is a test
    // MyId: 123
    // Content-Type: text/plain
    // Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
