GMAIL API for sending Email with attachment
i' m working on a javascript client able to read a CSV which contains an image url list.
I m able to read the csv by the means of jquery-csv and to draw each image in a html5 canvas.
The next step is to apply to each image a text layer and to send the image by email using gmail api.
So my diffifulty is to find an example showing me how to take a canvas and to attach it to an email using only javascript.
Do have i to build a json according to the multipart gmail guidelines and to send it as POST body as specified?
Can you send me some example?
// Get the canvas from the DOM and turn it into base64-encoded png data.
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var dataUrl = canvas.toDataURL();
// The relevant data is after 'base64,'.
var pngData = dataUrl.split('base64,')[1];
// Put the data in a regular multipart message with some text.
var mail = [
'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="foo_bar_baz"\r\n',
'MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n',
'From: [email protected]\r\n',
'To: [email protected]\r\n',
'Subject: Subject Text\r\n\r\n',
'--foo_bar_baz\r\n',
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"\r\n',
'MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n',
'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n',
'The actual message text goes here\r\n\r\n',
'--foo_bar_baz\r\n',
'Content-Type: image/png\r\n',
'MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n',
'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n',
'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="example.png"\r\n\r\n',
pngData, '\r\n\r\n',
'--foo_bar_baz--'
].join('');
// Send the mail!
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send?uploadType=multipart",
contentType: "message/rfc822",
beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization','Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}');
},
data: mail
});
