Class: MailSlurp

The official MailSlurp Javascript library. A wrapper around the MailSlurp REST API.

Create an instance of this class to call MailSlurp API methods. Contains top level convenience functions. Access the full API controllers as properties on the instance.

Create instance

You must provide a configuration object with your API Key as the apiKey property when creating a new instance.

const MailSlurp = require('mailslurp-client').default;
const mailslurp = new MailSlurp({
 apiKey: 'xxxx'
})

Call methods

Most methods are asynchronous and return Promises. You can await the results or use .then(result => {}) Common controllers include the InboxController, EmailController and the WaitForController for receiving emails.

// call convenience functions
const email = await mailslurp.waitForLatestEmail(...args)

// call controllers to access full API methods
const alias = await mailslurp.aliasController.createAlias(...args)

// or create a controller
const inboxController = mailslurp.inboxController
const inbox = await inboxController.createInbox()

// use Promises methods if you prefer
mailslurp.getEmails(inbox.id).then(emails => {
   // handle emails
   console.log(emails))
 }
