In your JavaScript application, you can install Nylas Email with:
npm i @nylas/components-emailyarn add @nylas/components-emailAlternatively, on an html page, you can load the Email using a script tag:
<head>
<!-- Import the script from CDN -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@nylas/components-email"></script>
</head>
For both installation options, in the body of your page, you can instantiate the email component with <nylas-email></nylas-email>.
All Nylas components have two ways of displaying data to your end-user:
If you haven't registered for a Nylas account yet, you can do so at dashboard.nylas.com. Once there, head to the Components tab and create a new Email component.
You'll be guided through the component setup and be given the option to tie your component to a thread. Review the Email Documentation.
During the setup process, you'll be prompted to provide a list of allowed domains. Be sure to add any domains you'll be testing your app on, including localhost, and any staging and production URLs you might use.
Nylas Email can be used as a UI on top of any thread data that you provide. Threads should follow the Nylas thread object standard.
The property to use for this is thread. You can pass in a JSON thread with an array of messages.
const staticThread =
{
"account_id":"adsghdgajhsgdikzvz9afb",
"drafts":[],
"first_message_timestamp":1621472861,
"has_attachments":false,
"id":"daskjdkahskjdhk7md84fgk",
"labels":[
{"display_name":"Inbox","id":"asdghsdfafasdfdsfcm4","name":"inbox"}
],
"last_message_received_timestamp":1621472865,
"last_message_sent_timestamp":null,
"last_message_timestamp":1621472865,
"messages":[
{
"account_id":"adsghdgajhsgdikzvz9afb",
"bcc":[],
"cc":[
{"email":"phil.r@nylas.com","name":"Phil Renaud"},
{"email":"review_requested@noreply.github.com","name":"Review requested"}
],
"date":1621472861,
"files":[],
"from":[
{"email":"notifications@github.com","name":"Mostafa Rashed"}
],
"id":"epgdadhsgfdghasyy6h9yyle6v",
"labels":[
{"display_name":"Inbox","id":"3fhdx7ssdfsfsdfm5ecwcm4","name":"inbox"}
],
"object":"message",
"reply_to":[
{"email":"abcd@reply.github.com","name":"nylas/nylas-nodejs"}
],
"snippet":"Hi, Welcome to Nylas",
"starred":false,
"subject":"Hello from Nylas",
"thread_id":"ddfgdfdgdjsgdjhas7md84fgk",
"to":[
{"email":"nylas-nodejs@noreply.github.com","name":"nylas/nylas-nodejs"}
],
"unread":true
},
{}
],
"snippet":"Hi, Welcome to Nylas",
"starred":false,
"subject":"Hello from Nylas",
"unread":true,
"version":1
}
Then pass the array into your component using any JavaScript.
<nylas-email thread={thread}>
<nylas-email thread_id={thread_id}>
<nylas-email message={message}>
<nylas-email message_id={message_id}>
You can also use plain JavaScript as an attribute.
document.querySelector("nylas-email").thread = staticThread;
document.querySelector("nylas-email").thread_id = staticThreadID;
document.querySelector("nylas-email").message = staticMessage;
document.querySelector("nylas-email").message_id = staticMessageID;
Nylas Email allows for several properties that affect the layout and functionality of your component. You can find a complete list of properties within our Documentation for Nylas Email
You can listen to certain user events from your application by adding an event listener to your component.
For example, you can listen for a threadClicked event with the following code:
document
.querySelector("nylas-email")
.addEventListener("threadClicked", (event) => {
let { detail } = event;
console.log("thread clicked: ", detail.thread);
});
A list of emitted events is available on our Documentation for Nylas Email
