Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

gmail-sender-oauth

npm version Build Status Coverage Status

Send emails with Gmail API using an OAuth2 object

Installation

#install and save
npm install gmail-sender-oauth --save

Usage

Require the module.

var gmailSender = require('gmail-sender-oauth');

Load Google Api Project client secret. To get this file follow Step 1 .

gmailSender.setClientSecretsFile('./client_secret.json');

Send Email (Requires Oauth2 authentication see below)

Send an email specifying all the headers (i.e 'from', 'to', 'subject', 'body').

var params = {
    from: '[email protected]',
    to: '[email protected]',
    subject: 'Win an iPhone 7 today!!!',
    body: 'This is a test'
};
gmailSender.send(accessToken, params, function (err, resp) {
  if (err) {
    return console.error('Something went wrong: ' + err);
  }
  else {
      console.log('Message sent with id: ' + resp.id);
  }

});

Authentication with Access Token

This assumes you already have an access token from Google Api. To get one, see test Generate Access Token and if you need to start from scratch, generate a Server Auth code first, see test Generate Server Auth code .

#Terminal output

~/personal/gmail-sender-oauth/test$ node generate_server_auth.js 
Authorize this app by visiting this url: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fgmail.compose&response_type=code&client_id=1081826302113-deknk5sgd6n2vutgv3l4ub4530qqc8kh.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob
If you need a accessToken to be generated as well, run: 
node generate_access_token <SERVER_AUTH_CODE>, with the code you received from the visited URL.
