A package to handle emails

Installation

npm install @janiscommerce/mail

Available methods

The methods that you can use to create the email:

• setTo [String|Array] (required if body is set): This method sets the recipients email addresses
• setTemplateCode [String|Array] (required if body is not set): This method sets the template code of the email
• setBody [String] (required if templateCode is not set): This method sets the body of the email.
• setData [Object]: This method sets the data to replace variables in recipients, subject and email body.

• setEntityId [String|Number]: This method sets the entity ID related to the email.
• setUserCreated [String]: This method sets the User ID related to the user that triggered the mail.

ClientCode injection

The package uses the Janis Mailing Service, so it needs the clientCode to be able to use it's API. You have two ways to do so:

• Instanciate the package in a sessioned class using this.session.getSessionInstance(Mail) (see @janiscommerce/api-session)
• Setting the clientCode using the mail.setClientCode('clientCode') method

Errors

The errors are informed with a MailError. This object has a code that can be useful for a correct error handling or debugging. The codes are the following:

Code	Description
1	Required field missing
2	Invalid field type
3	Microservice call Error

Examples

Client injection

With clientCode

const Mail = require('@janiscommerce/mail');

const mail = new Mail();

await mail.setTemplateCode('template-code')
	.setClientCode('client-code')
	.send();

With session

const Mail = require('@janiscommerce/mail');
const API = require('@janiscommerce/api');

class ApiExample extends API {

	async process() {

		const mail = this.session.getSessionInstance(Mail);

		try {
			await mail.setTemplateCode('template-code').send();
		} catch(error) {
			console.log(error);
		}
	}
}

module.exports = ApiExample;
