planer
Remove reply quotations from emails.
At lever we are into simple machines. A planer removes some material to flatten out a rough surface, which seemed appropriate for a module that smooths out an email to extract the actual message.
This is essentially a javascript port of Mailgun's awesome talon python library.
Planer does not do signatures, though there is a node port of that part of talon.
Installation
Use npm to install planer (add -g if you would like it to be global):
npm install planer
Usage
Important: planer accepts an injected Document object to perform html parsing.
You can use window.document in a browser, or something akin to jsdom on the server.
We use jsdom in our test suite.
To extract the message from a plain text email:
planer = require('planer');
msgBody = "Reply!\n\nOn 15-Dec-2011, at 6:54 PM, Sean Carter <[email protected]> wrote:\n> It's the ROC!\n>-Sean";
actualMessage = planer.extractFrom(msgBody, 'text/plain');
console.log(actualMessage); # "Reply!"To extract the message from an html email:
planer = require('planer');
msgBody = 'Reply!\n<div>\nOn 11-Apr-2011, at 6:54 PM, Bob <[email protected]> wrote:\n</div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\nTest\n</div>\n</blockquote>';
actualMessage = planer.extractFrom(msgBody, 'text/html', window.document);
console.log(actualMessage) # "<html><body>Reply!\n</body></html>";Contributing
Contributions are of course encouraged.
Keep in mind that the source is the coffee files; the js files in /lib are kept around for convenience.
Write tests for any new functionality.
Run npm run compile to compile the source into javascript files before submitting a pull request.
