# react-native-mail

A React Native wrapper for Apple's ``MFMailComposeViewController`` from iOS and Mail Intent on android
Supports emails with attachments.

## Installation

There was a breaking change in RN >=40. So for React Native >= 0.40: use v3.x and higher of this lib. otherwise use v2.x

```bash
npm i --save react-native-mail # npm syntax
yarn add react-native-mail # yarn syntax
```

### Automatic Installation
You can automatically link the native components or follow the manual instructions below if you prefer.

```bash
react-native link
```

### Manual Installation: Android

* In `android/setting.gradle`

```gradle
...
include ':RNMail', ':app'
project(':RNMail').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-mail/android')
```

* In `android/app/build.gradle`

```gradle
...
dependencies {
...
compile project(':RNMail')
}
```

* if MainActivity extends Activity: register module in MainActivity.java

```java
import com.chirag.RNMail.*; // <--- import

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler {
......

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mReactRootView = new ReactRootView(this);

mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
.setApplication(getApplication())
.setBundleAssetName("index.android.bundle")
.setJSMainModuleName("index.android")
.addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
.addPackage(new RNMail()) // <------ add here
.setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
.setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
.build();

mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "ExampleRN", null);

setContentView(mReactRootView);
}

......

}
```
* else if MainActivity extends ReactActivity: register module in `MainApplication.java`

```java
import com.chirag.RNMail.*; // <--- import

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
....

@Override
protected List getPackages() {
return Arrays.asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new RNMail() // <------ add here
);
}
};

```

### Manual Installation: iOS

1. Run `npm install react-native-mail --save`
2. Open your project in XCode, right click on `Libraries` and click `Add
Files to "Your Project Name"` [(Screenshot)](http://url.brentvatne.ca/jQp8) then navigate to node_modules/react-native-mail and select RNMail.xcodeproj [(Screenshot)](https://github.com/pedramsaleh/react-native-mail/blob/master/add-xcodeproj.png?raw=true).
3. Add `libRNMail.a` to `Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries`
[(Screenshot)](http://url.brentvatne.ca/17Xfe).
4. Whenever you want to use it within React code now you can: `var Mailer = require('NativeModules').RNMail;`

## Example
```javascript
/**
* Sample React Native App
* https://github.com/facebook/react-native
* @flow
*/

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Alert, Button } from 'react-native';
import Mailer from 'react-native-mail';

export default class App extends Component {

handleEmail = () => {
Mailer.mail({
subject: 'need help',
recipients: ['[email protected]'],
ccRecipients: ['[email protected]'],
bccRecipients: ['[email protected]'],
body: 'A Bold Body',
customChooserTitle: 'This is my new title', // Android only (defaults to "Send Mail")
isHTML: true,
attachments: [{
// Specify either `path` or `uri` to indicate where to find the file data.
// The API used to create or locate the file will usually indicate which it returns.
// An absolute path will look like: /cacheDir/photos/some image.jpg
// A URI starts with a protocol and looks like: content://appname/cacheDir/photos/some%20image.jpg
path: '', // The absolute path of the file from which to read data.
uri: '', // The uri of the file from which to read the data.
// Specify either `type` or `mimeType` to indicate the type of data.
type: '', // Mime Type: jpg, png, doc, ppt, html, pdf, csv
mimeType: '', // - use only if you want to use custom type
name: '', // Optional: Custom filename for attachment
}]
}, (error, event) => {
Alert.alert(
error,
event,
[
{text: 'Ok', onPress: () => console.log('OK: Email Error Response')},
{text: 'Cancel', onPress: () => console.log('CANCEL: Email Error Response')}
],
{ cancelable: true }
)
});
}

render() {
return (



);
}
}

```

### Note

On Android, the `callback` will only be called if an `error` occurs. The `event` argument is unused!
