The plugin allows you to quickly and easily send email through SendGrid using javascript.
The plugin defines a global sendgrid object, which defines the method necessary for sending email via SendGrid web api.
Although the object is in the global scope, it is not available until after the deviceready event.
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
console.log(device.cordova);
}
You need to create an account. Once completed use the folloiwng from cordova CLI to install the plugin:
cordova plugin add url --variable API_USER="SendGrid Username" --variable API_KEY=SendGrid Password
If you are using telerik AppBuilder then checkout the plugins.telerik.com for details on how to install it.
- sendgrid.send
Create a new SendGrid email object, and customize the paratmers of your message.
var email = {
"to" : "[email protected]",
"from" : "[email protected]",
"subject" : "Checkout this Awesome Plugin",
"html" : "<h1> My first emial through SendGrid </h1>",
"text" : "My first email through SendGrid"
};
Send it and additionally handle the callbacks for details:
sendgrid.send(email, function(result){
// TODO: add your logic
}, function(error){
// TODO: gracefully handle error.
});
The plugin also supports image attachment. If you have camera plugin installed then you can directly feed the captured uri in the following way:
navigator.camera.getPicture(function(result){
var email = {
"to" : "[email protected]",
"from" : "[email protected]",
"subject" : "Mail from the SendGrid plugin (HTML)",
"text" : "This is the backup text for non-HTML mailclients",
"files" : [result],
"html" : "<p>Grabbed this <strong>boldly</strong> from the DOM:</p> " + document.getElementById('emailcontent').innerHTML
};
window.sendgrid.send(
email,
function (msg) {
alert("SUCCESS: " + JSON.stringify(msg))
},
function (msg) {
alert("ERROR: " + JSON.stringify(msg))
}
);
}, function(error){
// Handle Error
},{
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI
});
