Sendgrid-nodejs: React-native support?

Created on 12 Apr 2016 · 12Comments · Source: sendgrid/sendgrid-nodejs

Does this module support use in a react-native app? I'm looking for a simple way to background mail using an API. Thanks!

Thanks. I've found that using fetch works well for sending simple emails using the web api from React Native:

fetch('https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + apikey,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(body),
}).then((response) => {
  this.setState({response: `${response.status} - ${response.ok}`});
});

@flizzer,

I have not tested our module in react-native, but based on @penjual's error, perhaps this thread can help: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4968

Please let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Did you figure out how to get SendGrid working with React Native? I'm getting the same error message.

@rdagger No, I didn't. Ended up using a .NET web api 2 web service to interact with SendGrid. Repo here if you're interested in having a look. Good luck!

@rdagger, @flizzer,

We are just about to bring v9 out of beta, hopefully that will help you: https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-csharp/tree/v9beta

@thinkingserious Thanks, are you also releasing a new Node.js version for React Native?

rdagger on 13 Feb 2017

Hello @rdagger,

We are not releasing a version specifically targeting React Native, but we are working on similar improvements that we made to our C# SDK.

Do you have an ETA for the new Node.js release? Is it possible to try out the beta now?

rdagger on 18 Feb 2017

Hello @rdagger,

I don't have an ETA yet. We have not left the planning stages just yet. If you would like to participate, please see the "Mail Helper Enhancement (v3 mail/send)" project here: https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-nodejs/projects

With Best Regards,

Elmer

@rdagger What all did you contain in your body? And did you have to import any other modules?

@jaymjax1 I used @rdagger 's solution and I used the following format for for 'body':
let body = { "personalizations": [ { "to": [ { "email": "[email protected]" } ], "subject": "Hello, World!" } ], "from": { "email": "[email protected]" }, "content": [ { "type": "text/plain", "value": "Hello, World!" } ] }
taken from https://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Web_API_v3/Mail/index.html
I did not have to import any other modules. Hope this helps!
