What

This package offers a streaming, high-performance parser and serializer for the RFC822 (EML) format. Built on top Web Streams, this package works in modern browsers, Bun and Node.js.

Compatibility

• Bun 1+
• Node.js 16+
• Modern browsers

Usage

import { parse } from '@cryptella/eml-rfc822';

const stream = new ReadableStream(); // get stream somehow...

// `headers` is always an array IHeader[] ({ name: string; value: string; params?: Record<string, string> }[])
// `body` is a ReadableStream<UInt8Array>

const { headers, body } = await parse(stream, {
  decoders: [
    multipartDecoder(async (headers, body) => {
      // consume nested parts here...
    }),
  ],
});

Or use a simple parseMultipart() function that returns ArrayBuffers instead of streams and includes base64 decoder:

import { parseMultipart } from '@cryptella/eml-rfc822';

const message: Multipart = await parseMultipart(stream);

interface Multipart = {
  boundary: string;
  body: Uint8Array;
  headers: IHeader[];
  parts: Multipart[];
  rawHeaders: Uint8Array;
}
