Postal for Node

This library helps you send e-mails through the open source mail delivery platform, Postal in Node.

Installation

Install the library using NPM:

$ npm install @atech/postal --save

Usage

Sending an email is very simple. Just follow the example below. Before you can begin, you'll need to login to your installation's web interface and generate new API credentials.

// Include the Postal library
var Postal = require('@atech/postal');

// Create a new Postal client using a server key generated using your
// installation's web interface
var client = new Postal.Client('https://postal.yourdomain.com', 'your-api-key');

// Create a new message
var message = new Postal.SendMessage(client);

// Add some recipients
message.to('[email protected]');
message.to('[email protected]');
message.cc('[email protected]');
message.bcc('[email protected]');

// Specify who the message should be from - this must be from a verified domain
// on your mail server
message.from('[email protected]');

// Set the subject
message.subject('Hi there!');

// Set the content for the e-mail
message.plainBody('Hello world!');
message.htmlBody('<p>Hello world!</p>');

// Add any custom headers
message.header('X-PHP-Test', 'value');

// Attach any files
message.attach('textmessage.txt', 'text/plain', 'Hello world!');

// Send the message and get the result
message.send()
  .then(function (result) {
    var recipients = result.recipients();
    // Loop through each of the recipients to get the message ID
    for (var email in recipients) {
      var message = recipients[email];
      console.log(message.id());    // Logs the message ID
      console.log(message.token()); // Logs the message's token
    }
  }).catch(function (error) {
    // Do something with the error
    console.log(error.code);
    console.log(error.message);
  });
