Gopher API JS Client (Preview)

JavaScript client for interacting with the Gopher Email API. Works in the browser and node.js.

Note: Gopher is currently in private beta. Enter your email on the Gopher Home Page to request an invitation

Usage

Quick example:

npm install gopherhq

const var Gopher = require('gopherhq');

// initialize
const gopherClient = new Gopher({clientId: 'YOUR_EXTENSIONS_CLIENT_ID'});
gopherClient.setAccessToken('YOUR_OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKEN');

// create a task
const task = {
        task: {
          reference_email: {
            server_recipient: '[email protected]',
            to: ['[email protected]'],
            subject: "Test1",
            html: "Test1",
          }
        }
      }

// create a task with a callback
gopherClient.createTask(task, function(err, res) { console.log(err || res)});

// promises work, too.
const res = gopherClient.createTask(task)
	.then(function(res) {
		console.log(res);
	})
	.catch(function(err) {
		console.log(err);
	});

// along with async/await magic, of course ✨
const res = await gopherClient.createTask(task); //in async function
