A very basic wrapper around node-imap (@lovely-inbox/imap rewritte actually).
It will execute specified callbacks on specific events when fetching messages with IMAP while avoiding (as much as possible) the spaggethi code :D
import { SimplImap, markAaSeen } from "simplimap";
const config = {
user: "my-email@my-domain.com",
password: "5UchA57rongANDbeau7ifulPA55",
host: "imap.my-domain.com",
}
const callbacksOn = {
// message: [(message: any, seqno: number, imap: Connection) => {
// console.log(message, seqno, imap);
// }],
messageBody: [
(parsed: ParsedMail, raw: Source, info: any, imap: Connection) => {
console.log(parsed, raw, info, imap)
}
]
messageAttributes: [
markAaSeen
]
// end?: ((imap: Connection) => void)[];
error: [
(err: any, imap: Connection) => {
console.log(err, imap)
}
]
}
await SimplImap(config, callbacksOn);
// voilaOh it's opinionated alright !
I used node-imap and nodemailer SimpleParser to get email body e.a.s.i.l.y ...
No fancy low level whatever, it just fetches messages you tell it to and executes callbacks you specified for a Narrow subset of the IMAP spec.
Now, I'm open for inputs if you have ideas on specific process/callbacks you'd like in SimplImap.
the only things on the roadmap are a bit of clean up (tame the spaghetti callback beast) and attachements, soon(tm).
I probably am going to have this code in a bunch of projects so it eases my maintainance process ;) (smart, not hard !)
