Email Provider

Configuration

The following table presents you the configuration properties.

Create an Email Provider

you choose to send or receive email.

Here's a simple example where we create an email provider:

// assume we have an application
var application = ...;

// create an email provider
application.createEmailProvider();

Here's a full example for Google Mail:

// assume we have an application
var application = ...;

// authentication
var username = "user@gmail.com";
var password = "password";

// create an email provider
application.createEmailProvider({
    "host": "smtp.gmail.com",
    "username": username,
    "password": password,
    "smtp_enabled": true,
    "smtp_requires_auth": true,
    "smtp_is_secure": true,
    "smtp_starttls_enabled": true
});

Update an Email Provider

// assume we have an application
var application = ...;

// authentication
var username = "user@gmail.com";
var password = "password";

// create an email provider
application.createEmailProvider({
    "host": "smtp.gmail.com",
    "username": username,
    "password": password,
    "smtp_enabled": true,
    "smtp_requires_auth": true,
    "smtp_is_secure": true,
    "smtp_starttls_enabled": true
}).then(function() {

    this.set("title", "My Email Provider");
    this.update();

});

Delete an Email Provider

emailProvider.del();

Read an Email Provider

// email provider id
var emailProviderId = "4b5b685c980c10f98beb";

application.readEmailProvider(emailProviderId).then(function() {
    console.log("Found email provider: " + this.getId());
})

List Email Providers

The following code hands back the full list.

application.listEmailProviders();

You can then iterate over the list to pick at what you'd like.

application.listEmailProviders().each(function() {
    console.log("Email Provider: " + this.getId());
});

Retrieving the full list is potentially an expensive operation, depending how many items you have. The more your retrieve, the more data goes over the wire and so forth. Thus, you might wish to paginate your call and retrieve a subset of the total list at a time.

Here is an example that retrieves in pages of size 10. It starts on the second page (by skipping to starting index 20). It also sorts by the title field in a descending sequence.

application.listEmailProviders({
    "limit": 10,
    "skip": 20,
    "sort": { "title": -1 }
}).each(function() {
    console.log("Email Provider: " + this.getId());
});

You don't have to have all of the pagination parameters (limit, skip and sort). You might only want to include one or two. It's up to you.

Query Email Providers

Here is a query that looks for Email Providers that point to the host smtp.gmail.com.

application.queryEmailProviders({
    "host": "smtp.gmail.com"
});

Here is that same query followed by an iteration over the result map.

application.queryEmailProviders({
    "host": "smtp.gmail.com"
}).each(function(id) {
    console.log("Found an Email Provider: " + id);
});

Finally, you can mix queries with pagination to reduce data over the wire and speed up performance. Here is that same query with some pagination thrown in. We limit to pages of size 10 and sort by title.

application.queryEmailProviders({
    "host": "smtp.gmail.com"
},{
    "limit": 10,
    "skip": 20,
    "sort": {
        "title": -1
    }
}).each(function(id) {
    console.log("Found an Email Provider: " + id);
});
