Overview

react-mailto is a Mailto Link Generator library is a React utility for creating customizable mailto links with optional headers, such as subject, cc, bcc, and body. It also includes components for building the body content of the email with nested lists, line breaks, and indentation.

This package is ideal for developers who want to generate email links with rich content and customizable options directly within their React applications.

Features

• Create Mailto Links: Easily generate mailto links with multiple recipients, subjects, CCs, and BCCs.
• Extract Body Content: Parse and format email body content from nested React components.
• Custom Components: Use components to handle email body formatting with support for indentation, line breaks, and lists.

Installation

Usage

Basic Usage

To create a mailto link with a subject and body content, use the MailTo component. Here's a simple example:

import React from 'react';
import { MailTo, MailToBody, MailToTrigger } from 'package-name';

const App = () => (
  <MailTo to="[email protected]" subject="Hello World">
    <MailToTrigger>Send Email</MailToTrigger>
    <MailToBody>
      Hi there,
      <br />
      This is a test email.
      <br />
      Cheers,
      <br />
      Your Name
    </MailToBody>
  </MailTo>
);

export default App;

Advanced Usage

For more complex scenarios, such as including CC and BCC recipients, or enabling link obfuscation, you can configure the Mailto component accordingly:

import React from 'react';
import { MailTo, MailToBody, MailToTrigger } from 'package-name';

const App = () => (
  <MailTo
    to="[email protected]"
    subject="Meeting Invitation"
    cc={["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]}
    bcc={["[email protected]"]}
    obfuscate
  >
    <MailToTrigger>Invite to Meeting</MailToTrigger>
    <MailToBody>
      Dear Team,
      <br />
      Please join us for a meeting next week.
      <br />
      Regards,
      <br />
      Your Name
    </MailToBody>
  </MailTo>
);

export default App;
