# Gmail
Gmail API for Laravel 9 and 10
You need to create an application in the [Google Console](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials). Guidance [here](https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/php#step_1_turn_on_the_api_name).
if you need **Laravel 5** compatibility please use version `2.0.x`.
if you need **Laravel 6** compatibility please use version `3.0.x`.
if you need **Laravel 7** compatibility please use version `4.0.x`.
if you need **Laravel 8** compatibility please use version `5.0.x`.
# Requirements
* PHP ^8.0
* Laravel 9
# Installation
Add dacastro4/laravel-gmail to composer.json.
`"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^6.1"`
Run composer update to pull down the latest version.
Or run
`composer require dacastro4/laravel-gmail`
Now open up `config/app.php` and add the service provider to your providers array.
``` php
'providers' => [
Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\LaravelGmailServiceProvider::class,
]
```
Now add the alias.
``` php
'aliases' => [
'LaravelGmail' => Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\Facade\LaravelGmail::class,
]
```
For laravel >=5.5 that's all. This package supports Laravel new [Package Discovery](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/packages#package-discovery).
For <= PHP 7.4 compatibility use version `v5.0`
# Migration from 5.0 to 6.0
Requires Laravel 9 and you have to change the dependency to `"laravel/laravel": "^9.0"`
Please, follow [Upgrading To 9.0 From 8.x Guide](https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/upgrade)
# Migration from 4.0 to 5.0
Requires Laravel 8 and you have to change the dependency to `"laravel/laravel": "^8.0"`
Please, follow [Upgrading To 8.0 From 7.x Guide](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/upgrade)
# Migration from 3.0 to 4.0
Requires Laravel 7 and you have to change the dependency to `"laravel/laravel": "^7.0"`
Please, follow [Upgrading To 7.0 From 6.x Guide](https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/upgrade)
# Migration from 2.0 to 3.0
Requires Laravel 6 and you only have to change the dependency to `"laravel/laravel": "^6.0"`
# Migration from 1.0 to 2.0
The only changed made was the multi credentials feature.
- Change your composer.json from `"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^1.0"` to `"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^2.0"`
I had to change version because of a typo and that might break apps calling those attributes.
All variable with the word "threat" was change to "thread" (yeah, I know.. sorry)
Ex:
Mail Class
`$threatId` => `$threadId`
Replyable Class
`$mail->setReplyThreat()` => `$mail->setReplyThread()`
and so on.
# Migration from 0.6 to 1.0
The only changed made was the multi credentials feature.
- Change your composer.json from `"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^0.6"` to `"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^1.0"`
If you don't want the multi user credentials, you don't have to do anything else, if you do, you're going to have to
login again to create a new credentials file per user.
# Configuration
You only have to set the following variables on your `.env` file and you'll be on your way:
``` dotenv
GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID=
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=
GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=
GOOGLE_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_CREDENTIALS
GOOGLE_ALLOW_JSON_ENCRYPT
```
To modify the scopes and the credentials file name, just run:
Run `php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\LaravelGmailServiceProvider"` and modify the config file `config/gmail.php`.
### Allow multi user credentials
To allow multi user credentials change `allow_multiple_credentials` to `true` in your config file or set the .env variable
`GOOGLE_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_CREDENTIALS` to true if you're not using the config file.
### Allow encryption for json files
To allow encryption for json files change `allow_json_encrypt` to `true` in your config file or set the .env variable
`GOOGLE_ALLOW_JSON_ENCRYPT` to true if you're not using the config file.
### Available Scopes
* all *(this one doesn't exists on Gmail Scopes, I added it.)*
* compose
* insert
* labels
* metadata
* modify
* readonly
* send
* settings_basic
* settings_sharing
[More about Gmail API scopes](https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/auth/scopes)
Note: To change the scopes, users have to logout and login again.
#### Additional Scopes
If for some reason you need to add additional scopes.
Add additional scopes in URL Style in config/gmail.php
```
'additional_scopes' => [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets'
],
```
# Example
## Welcome Blade:
```blade
{{ LaravelGmail::user() }}
@if(LaravelGmail::check())
logout
@else
login
@endif
```
## Routes:
```php
Route::get('/oauth/gmail', function (){
return LaravelGmail::redirect();
});
Route::get('/oauth/gmail/callback', function (){
LaravelGmail::makeToken();
return redirect()->to('/');
});
Route::get('/oauth/gmail/logout', function (){
LaravelGmail::logout(); //It returns exception if fails
return redirect()->to('/');
});
```
Then if in your controller or wherever you want to do your logic, you do something like:
```php
$messages = LaravelGmail::message()->subject('test')->unread()->preload()->all();
foreach ( $messages as $message ) {
$body = $message->getHtmlBody();
$subject = $message->getSubject();
}
```
Note that if you don't preload the messages you have to do something like:
` $body = $message->load()->getSubject();`
and after that you don't have to call it again.
## Pagination
Use `$messages->hasNextPage()` to check whether next page is available.
Use `$messages->next()` to get the next page results, which uses the same parameters (result per page, filters, etc.) when you loaded the first page.
Use `$messages->getPageToken()` to get the unique identifier for the next page token. This is useful in creating a unique idendifier when storing the result in cache.
Generally speaking, it is a bad practice to use API for pagination. It is slow and costly. Therefore, it is recommended to retrieve the cached result moving between pages and only flush the cache when have to.
# Documentation

...
$attachment = new Attachment;
```
`$attachment->getId` Returns the ID of the attachment
`$attachment->getFileName` Returns the file name of the attachment
`$attachment->getMimeType` Returns the mime type Ex: application/pdf

`$attachment->saveAttachmentTo($path = null, $filename = null, $disk = 'local')` Saves the attachment on the storage folder. You can pass the path, name and disk to use.
## Messages
`LaravelGmail::message()->all( $pageToken = null )` Returns all the emails from the inbox
`LaravelGmail::message()->take(2)->all( $pageToken = null )` The `take` method limits the emails coming from the query by the number set
`LaravelGmail::message()->get( $id )` Returns a single email with all the information
### Modifiers
You can modify your query with these methods. For example:
To get all unread emails: `LaravelGmail::message()->unread()->all()`
`message()->unread()`
`message()->from( $email )`
`message()->in( $box = 'inbox' )`
`message()->hasAttachment()`
`message()->subject($subject)`
`->after($date)` and `->before($date)`
`message()->raw($query)` for customized queries
All the possible filters are in the [Filterable Trait](https://github.com/dacastro4/laravel-gmail/blob/master/src/Traits/Filterable.php)
Of course you can use as a fluent api.
``` php
LaravelGmail::message()
->from('someone@gmail.com')
->unread()
->in('TRASH')
->hasAttachment()
->all()
```
## Attachment
```
use Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\Services\Message\Attachment

`$attachment->getMimeType` Returns the mime type Ex: application/pdf
`$attachment->getSize` Returns the size of the attachment in bytes
`$attachment->getData` Get the all the information from the attachment. If you call `getAttachmentsWithData` you won't need this method.

->from('someone@gmail.com')
->unread()
->in('TRASH')
->hasAttachment()

```
### Preload
You can preload the body, header and the rest of every single email just by calling this method.
`LaravelGmail::preload()`
Example:
``` php
LaravelGmail::message()
->from('someone@gmail.com')
->unread()
->in('TRASH')
->hasAttachment()
->preload()
->all()
```
### Watch
https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/reference/rest/v1/users/watch
Example:
``` php
$mailbox = new LaravelGmailClass(config(), $account->id);
// One watch per account + need reinit every 24h+
$mailbox->stopWatch('example@gmail.com');
// Set watch for topic
$rq = new \Google_Service_Gmail_WatchRequest();
$rq->setTopicName('projects/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/topics/gmail');
$mailbox->setWatch('example@gmail.com', $rq);
```
### History
https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/reference/rest/v1/users.history
Example:
``` php
$historyList = (new LaravelGmailClass(config(), $account->id))
->historyList($data['emailAddress'], [
'startHistoryId' => $startHistoryId,
]);
foreach ($historyList->history as $chunk) {
foreach ($chunk->messages as $msg) {
...
}
}
```
### Frequent Issues
#### Login Required
If you're getting the `Login Required` error, try creating the `gmail-json.json` file under `/storage/app/gmail/tokens/`.
