MIME Codec

Greenkeeper badge Build Status JavaScript Style Guide ES6+

emailjs-mime-codec allows you to encode and decode between different MIME related encodings. Quoted-Printable, Base64 etc.

All input can use any charset (in this case, the value must not be a string but an arraybuffer of Uint8Array) but output is always unicode.

Usage

npm install --save emailjs-mime-codec

import {
  encode, decode, convert
  mimeEncode, mimeDecode,
  base64Encode, base64Decode,
  quotedPrintableEncode, quotedPrintableDecode,
  mimeWordEncode, mimeWordDecode,
  mimeWordsEncode, mimeWordsDecode,
  headerLineEncode, headerLinesDecode,
  continuationEncode,
  foldLines,
  parseHeaderValue
} from 'emailjs-mime-codec'

Charset functions

encode(data: String) -> Uint8Array
decode(data: Uint8Array, charset: String) -> String
convert(data, charset: String) -> String

encode takes a String and returns a UTF-8 encoded Uint8Array.

decode takes a Uint8Array along with a charset and decodes the typed array to a String. Charset defaults to UTF-8.

convert chains encode and decode and converts an input string with a given encoding to a UTF-8 encoded Uint8Array.

foldLines

Folds a long line according to the RFC 5322 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-2.1.1

foldLines(str [, lineLengthMax[, afterSpace]]) -> String
  • str - String to be folded
  • lineLengthMax - Maximum length of a line (defaults to 76)
  • afterSpace - If true, leave a space in th end of a line

For example:

foldLines('Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----zzzz----"')

results in

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
     boundary="----zzzz----"

mimeWordEncode

Encodes a string into mime encoded word format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME#Encoded-Word (see also mimeWordDecode)

mimeWordEncode(str [, mimeWordEncoding[, fromCharset]]) -> String
  • str - String or Uint8Array to be encoded
  • mimeWordEncoding - Encoding for the mime word, either Q or B (default is 'Q')
  • fromCharset - If the first parameter is a typed array, use this encoding to decode the value to unicode

For example:

mimeWordEncode('See on õhin test', 'Q');

Becomes with UTF-8 and Quoted-printable encoding

=?UTF-8?Q?See_on_=C3=B5hin_test?=

mimeWordDecode

Decodes a string from mime encoded word format (see also mimeWordEncode)

mimeWordDecode(str) -> String
  • str - String to be decoded

For example

mimeWordDecode('=?UTF-8?Q?See_on_=C3=B5hin_test?=');

will become

See on õhin test

continuationEncode

Encodes and splits a header param value according to RFC2231 Parameter Value Continuations.

continuationEncode(key, str [, fromCharset]) -> Array
  • key - Parameter key (eg. filename)
  • str - String or an Uint8Array value to encode
  • fromCharset - If str is a typed array, use this charset to decode the value to unicode before encoding

The method returns an array of encoded parts with the following structure: [{key:'...', value: '...'}]

Example
continuationEncode('filename', 'filename õäöü.txt', 20);
->
[ { key: 'filename*0*', value: 'utf-8\'\'filename%20' },
  { key: 'filename*1*', value: '%C3%B5%C3%A4%C3%B6' },
  { key: 'filename*2*', value: '%C3%BC.txt' } ]

This can be combined into a properly formatted header:

Content-disposition: attachment; filename*0*="utf-8''filename%20"
  filename*1*="%C3%B5%C3%A4%C3%B6"; filename*2*="%C3%BC.txt"

quotedPrintableEncode

Encodes a string into Quoted-printable format (see also quotedPrintableDecode). Maximum line length for the generated string is 76 + 2 bytes.

quotedPrintableEncode(str [, fromCharset]) -> String
  • str - String or an Uint8Array to mime encode
  • fromCharset - If the first parameter is a typed array, use this charset to decode the value to unicode before encoding

quotedPrintableDecode

Decodes a string from Quoted-printable format (see also quotedPrintableEncode).

quotedPrintableDecode(str [, fromCharset]) -> String
  • str - Mime encoded string
  • fromCharset - Use this charset to decode mime encoded string to unicode

base64Encode

Encodes a string into Base64 format (see also base64Decode). Maximum line length for the generated string is 76 + 2 bytes.

base64Encode(str [, fromCharset]) -> String
  • str - String or an Uint8Array to base64 encode
  • fromCharset - If the first parameter is a typed array, use this charset to decode the value to unicode before encoding

base64Decode

Decodes a string from Base64 format (see also base64Encode) to an unencoded unicode string.

base64Decode(str [, fromCharset]) -> String
  • str Base64 encoded string
  • fromCharset Use this charset to decode base64 encoded string to unicode

mimeWordEncode

Encodes a string to a mime word.

mimeWordEncode(str[, mimeWordEncoding[, fromCharset]]) -> String
  • str - String or Uint8Array to be encoded
  • mimeWordEncoding - Encoding for the mime word, either Q or B (default is 'Q')
  • fromCharset - If the first parameter is a typed array, use this charset to decode the value to unicode before encoding

mimeWordsEncode

Encodes non ascii sequences in a string to mime words.

mimeWordsEncode(str[, mimeWordEncoding[, fromCharset]]) -> String
  • str - String or Uint8Array to be encoded
  • mimeWordEncoding - Encoding for the mime word, either Q or B (default is 'Q')
  • fromCharset - If the first parameter is a typed array, use this charset to decode the value to unicode before encoding

mimeWordDecode

Decodes a complete mime word encoded string

mimeWordDecode(str) -> String
  • str - String to be decoded. Mime words have charset information included so need to specify it here

mimeWordsDecode

Decodes a string that might include one or several mime words. If no mime words are found from the string, the original string is returned

mimeWordsDecode(str) -> String
  • str - String to be decoded

headerLineEncode

Encodes and folds a header line for a MIME message header. Shorthand for mimeWordsEncode + foldLines.

headerLineEncode(key, value[, fromCharset])
  • key - Key name, will not be encoded
  • value - Value to be encoded
  • fromCharset - If the value parameter is a typed array, use this charset to decode the value to unicode before encoding

headerLinesDecode

Parses a block of header lines. Does not decode mime words as every header might have its own rules (eg. formatted email addresses and such).

Return value is an object of headers, where header keys are object keys. NB! Several values with the same key make up an array of values for the same key.

headerLinesDecode(headers) -> Object
  • headers - Headers string

parseHeaderValue

Parses a header value with key=value arguments into a structured object. Useful when dealing with content-type and such.

parseHeaderValue(valueString) -> Object
  • valueString - a header value without the key

Example

parseHeaderValue('content-type: text/plain; CHARSET="UTF-8"');

Outputs

{
    "value": "text/plain",
    "params": {
        "charset": "UTF-8"
    }
}
