Email Settings Microservice

This is a email settings microservice from Pip.Services library. This microservice keeps settings of email recipients.

The microservice currently supports the following deployment options:

• Deployment platforms: Standalone Process, Seneca
• External APIs: HTTP/REST, Seneca

This microservice has optional dependencies on the following microservices:

• service-activities-nodex - to log user activities
• service-msgtemplates-nodex - to get message templates
• service-email-nodex - to send email messages

Contract

Logical contract of the microservice is presented below. For physical implementation (HTTP/REST, Thrift, Seneca, Lambda, etc.), please, refer to documentation of the specific protocol.

class EmailSettingsV1 implements IStringIdentifiable {
    /* Recipient information */
    public id: string;
    public name: string;
    public email: string;
    public language: string;

    /* EmailSettings management */
    public subscriptions: any;
    public verified: boolean;
    public ver_code: string;
    public ver_expire_time: Date;

    /* Custom fields */
    public custom_hdr: any;
    public custom_dat: any;
}

interface IEmailSettingsV1 {
    getSettingsById(correlationId: string, recipientId: string): Promise<EmailSettingsV1>;
    getSettingsByEmail(correlationId: string, email: string): Promise<EmailSettingsV1>;
    setSettings(correlationId: string, settings: EmailSettingsV1): Promise<EmailSettingsV1>;
    setRecipient(correlationId: string, recipientId: string,
        name: string, email: string, language: string): Promise<EmailSettingsV1>;
    setSubscriptions(correlationId: string, recipientId: string, subscriptions: any): Promise<EmailSettingsV1>;
    deleteSettingsById(correlationId: string, recipientId: string): Promise<void>;
    resendVerification(correlationId: string, recipientId: string): Promise<void>;
    verifyEmailSettings(correlationId: string, recipientId: string, code: string): Promise<void>;
}

Download

Right now the only way to get the microservice is to check it out directly from github repository

git clone [email protected]:pip-services-users2/service-emailsettings-node.git

Pip.Service team is working to implement packaging and make stable releases available for your as zip downloadable archieves.

Run

Add config.yml file to the root of the microservice folder and set configuration parameters. As the starting point you can use example configuration from config.example.yml file. Example of microservice configuration

---
- descriptor: "service-commons:logger:console:default:1.0"
  level: "trace"

- descriptor: "service-emailsettings:persistence:file:default:1.0"
  path: "./data/email_settings.json"

- descriptor: "service-emailsettings:controller:default:default:1.0"
  
- descriptor: "service-emailsettings:service:commandable-http:default:1.0"
  connection:
    protocol: "http"
    host: "0.0.0.0"
    port: 8080

For more information on the microservice configuration see Configuration Guide.

Start the microservice using the command:

node run

Use

The easiest way to work with the microservice is to use client SDK. The complete list of available client SDKs for different languages is listed in the Quick Links

If you use Node.js then you should add dependency to the client SDK into package.json file of your project

{
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        ....
        "client-emailsettings-node": "^1.0.*",
        ...
    }
}

Inside your code get the reference to the client SDK

var sdk = new require('client-emailsettings-node');

Define client configuration parameters that match configuration of the microservice external API

// Client configuration
var config = {
    connection: {
        protocol: 'http',
        host: 'localhost', 
        port: 8080
    }
};

Instantiate the client and open connection to the microservice

// Create the client instance
var client = sdk.EmailSettingsHttpClientV1(config);

// Connect to the microservice
try {
    await client.open(null);
    
    // Work with the microservice
    ...
}
catch (err) {
    console.error('Connection to the microservice failed');
    console.error(err);
}

Now the client is ready to perform operations

// Send email message to address
await client.sendMessage(
    null,
    { 
        to: '[email protected]',
        subject: 'Test',
        text: 'This is a test message. Please, ignore it'
    },
);
