Gmail.js - JavaScript API for Gmail

Note: This is not an official Gmail API, and isn't affiliated with Google.

TL;DR Summary

  • Lots of api methods to work with gmail. Useful for chrome extensions
  • Most of them dont take arguments, they work on what is currently visible on the screen
  • I still need to add implementation for chrome extension, works by injecting js for now
  • Main method is gmail.observe.on('lots_of_actions_here', callback())
  • Click on a method link to view more detailed docs
  • Create an issue/pull request for feedback, requests and fixes

Setup

Quick Usage - Chrome Console

// {inject jquery.js} by copy pasting this in your console
var jq = document.createElement('script');
jq.src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js";
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(jq);

// {inject gmail.js} by copy pasting gmail.js contents or via url like jquery above
// var Gmail = {.....} // paste gmail.js code here

// start using!
var gmail = Gmail();
gmail.get.user_email();

gmail.observe.actions()

Similar to gmail.obsere.http_requests() this keeps track of the last 10 gmail actions (vs all http requests). Actions here correspond to things like clicking refres, archiving, deleting, starring etc.

gmail.observe.on(action, callback)

This is the key feature of gmail.js. This method allows you to add triggers to all of these actions so you can build your custom extension/tool with this library.

You simply specify the action nane and your function that the method will return data to when the actions are triggered and it does the rest. You can have multiple triggers
