# Mailinator Routing Micro Service 

This is a simple solution for Mailinators temporary inbox.  This micro service reads a public temporary inbox hosted by Mailinator, and will retrieve a plain text or HTML email and forward it to a private email address.  Both the public temporary Mailinator inbox, and the permanent destination email inbox are configurable. 

This was created to poll inboxes until it finds a specified piece of information in any given email in any given inbox. The information it is matching against can be specified (Subject, email content, sender address).

## A little bit about the project

This is an IOC DI architecture. 

Much thanks to Inversify for Inversion of control Dependency injection in this Typescript mailing router micro service. 

Learned a lot from this article by Samuele Resca to get a basic IOC app up and running: https://medium.com/@samueleresca/inversion-of-control-and-dependency-injection-in-typescript-3040d568aabe Thank you! 

Typescript article by André Gardi: https://medium.com/javascript-in-plain-english/typescript-with-node-and-express-js-why-when-and-how-eb6bc73edd5d

Thank you André! 

## Install

Install the node packages via:

`$ npm install --save`

## Starting

To start the app in production mode, first compile the TypeScript code:

`$ npm run tsc`

And then run production code: 

`$ npm run prod`

To start the app in development mode:

`$ npm run dev`

## Moving On From Here...

While testing use the following command to compile and then serve the application. 

`$ npm run dev`

To test the default get handler use the following curl command (Assuming curl is already installed).

`curl http://127.0.0.1:8080`

## Data binding

Inside the app directory, there will be a "Models" directy.  This is where all our data models will be stored and accessed. You must modify the following: NodeMailerSenderAccount, DestinationEmail, and FilePath.

#### NodeMailerSenderAccount

The email account for Nodemailer (SendingEmail) MUST have "Allow less secure apps" turned on and enabled in google's account settings for this to work. 

App\Model\NodeMailerSenderAccount.ts

``` javascript 

export const SendingEmail = '[email protected]'; 

export const SendingEmailPassword = "examplePassword"; 

```

#### DestinationEmail

The email account where NodeMailer will send the matching data to.  This is the inbox where the all mailinator data will be persisted. 

App\Model\DestinationEmail.ts

``` javascript 

export const DestinationEmail = "[email protected]"; 

```

#### Excel Sheet FilePath

The file path to the excel sheet where the workbook is parsed. 

App\Model\FilePath.ts

``` javascript 

export const FilePath: string = "/Users/user/Downloads/Example.xlsx";

```

#### Excel Sheet Logic

This can be changed depending on what column/rows the excelsheet has within it.  Below I will show a simple version of what it's doing. 

App\Application\Services\ExcelReaderService.ts

``` javascript

import * as XLSX from "xlsx";

export class ExcelReaderService {

    private PollingInterval: number = 1000;

    

    public async Read(file: string): Promise {

        try {

            var WorkBook: any = XLSX.readFile(file);

            var FirstWorkSheet: object = WorkBook.Sheets[WorkBook.SheetNames[0]];

            var WorkSheetJson: object = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(FirstWorkSheet);

            

            this.ParseWorkSheet(WorkSheetJson);

        } catch (err) {

        }

    }

    private ParseWorkSheet(jsonData: any) : void {

        jsonData.forEach((row: any, index: number) => {

            try {

                setTimeout(async() => {

                    if (typeof row['EMAIL LABEL'] == 'undefined') return;

                    console.log(row['EMAIL LABEL']);

                }, this.PollingInterval * index);

            } catch (err) {

            }

        });

    }

}

```
