Framework Examples

React

import { useState } from "react";
import { saveEmail } from "savedemails";

function NewsletterForm() {
  const [email, setEmail] = useState("");
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
  const [message, setMessage] = useState("");

  const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    setLoading(true);

    try {
      const result = await saveEmail(email, process.env.REACT_APP_API_KEY, {
        source: "newsletter-form",
        metadata: {
          page: window.location.pathname,
        },
      });

      if (result.success) {
        setMessage("Thanks for subscribing!");
        setEmail("");
      } else {
        setMessage(result.error || "Something went wrong. Please try again.");
      }
    } catch (error) {
      setMessage("Something went wrong. Please try again.");
    } finally {
      setLoading(false);
    }
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input
        type="email"
        value={email}
        onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Enter your email"
        required
      />
      <button type="submit" disabled={loading}>
        {loading ? "Subscribing..." : "Subscribe"}
      </button>
      {message && <p>{message}</p>}
    </form>
  );
}

Vue 3

<template>
  <form @submit.prevent="handleSubmit">
    <input
      v-model="email"
      type="email"
      placeholder="Enter your email"
      required
    />
    <button :disabled="loading">
      {{ loading ? "Subscribing..." : "Subscribe" }}
    </button>
    <p v-if="message">{{ message }}</p>
  </form>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from "vue";
import { saveEmail } from "savedemails";

const email = ref("");
const loading = ref(false);
const message = ref("");

async function handleSubmit() {
  loading.value = true;

  try {
    const result = await saveEmail(email.value, import.meta.env.VITE_API_KEY, {
      source: "vue-app",
    });

    if (result.success) {
      message.value = "Thanks for subscribing!";
      email.value = "";
    } else {
      message.value = result.error || "Something went wrong. Please try again.";
    }
  } catch (error) {
    message.value = "Something went wrong. Please try again.";
  } finally {
    loading.value = false;
  }
}
</script>

Next.js

"use client";

import { useState } from "react";
import { saveEmail } from "savedemails";

export default function WaitlistForm() {
  const [email, setEmail] = useState("");
  const [status, setStatus] = useState("idle");

  async function handleSubmit(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    setStatus("loading");

    try {
      const result = await saveEmail(email, process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY, {
        source: "waitlist",
        metadata: {
          timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        },
      });

      if (result.success) {
        setStatus("success");
        setEmail("");
      } else {
        setStatus("error");
      }
    } catch (error) {
      setStatus("error");
    }
  }

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input
        type="email"
        value={email}
        onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Join the waitlist"
        required
        disabled={status === "loading"}
      />
      <button type="submit" disabled={status === "loading"}>
        {status === "loading" ? "Joining..." : "Join Waitlist"}
      </button>
      {status === "success" && <p>You're on the list!</p>}
      {status === "error" && <p>Something went wrong. Please try again.</p>}
    </form>
  );
}

Error Handling

The SDK returns error information in the response object and throws errors for validation issues:

try {
  const result = await saveEmail("invalid-email", "your-api-key");

  if (!result.success) {
    console.error("Failed to save email:", result.error);
    // Handle API errors
  }
} catch (error) {
  if (error.message === "Invalid email format") {
    // Handle invalid email format
  } else if (error.message === "API key is required") {
    // Handle missing API key
  } else if (error.message === "Email is required") {
    // Handle missing email
  } else {
    // Handle other errors
  }
}

TypeScript Support

The SDK is written in TypeScript and provides full type definitions:

import { saveEmail } from "savedemails";

interface SaveEmailOptions {
  source?: string;
  metadata?: Record<string, any>;
  baseUrl?: string;
}

interface SaveEmailResponse {
  success: boolean;
  id?: string;
  error?: string;
}

const result: SaveEmailResponse = await saveEmail(
  "[e-mail]",
  "your-api-key",
  {
    source: "typescript-app",
    metadata: {
      userId: 123,
      premium: true,
    },
  }
);
