Nylas Composer

Nylas Composer (<nylas-composer>) is part of the Nylas Components library that lets you build email-send functionality into your application in minutes. Use Nylas Composer with your Nylas account or by passing in your own JSON data.

Installation

In your JavaScript application, you can install Nylas Composer with:

  • npm npm i @nylas/components-composer
  • Yarn yarn add npm i @nylas/components-composer

Alternatively, on an html page, you can load the Composer using a script tag:

   <head>
      <!-- Import the script from CDN -->
      <script src="https://unpkg.com/@nylas/components-composer"></script>
    </head>

For both installation options, in the body of your page, you can instantiate the composer with <nylas-composer></nylas-composer>.

Using It in Your App

All Nylas components have two ways of dislaying data to your end-user:

  1. Fetching data directly from Nylas
  2. Passing in your own data

Fetching data directly from Nylas

Setup

If you haven't registered for a Nylas account yet, you can do so at dashboard.nylas.com. Once there, head to the Components tab and create a new Composer component.

You'll be guided through the component setup and be given the option to tie your component to your calendar account. Review the Composer Documentation.

Allowed domains

During the setup process, you'll be prompted to provide a list of allowed domains. Be sure to add any domains you'll be testing your app on, including localhost, and any staging and production URLs you might use.

Passing in your own data

Nylas Composer can be used as a UI on top of your own send hooks. Use Custom Callbacks to determine send and other functionality.

Properties

Nylas Composer allows for several properties that affect the layout and functionality of your component. You can find a complete list of properties within our Documentation for Nylas Composer

Events and Hooks

You can listen to certain user events from your application by adding an event listener to your component.

For example, you can listen for a composerMinimized event with the following code:

document
  .querySelector("nylas-composer")
  .addEventListener("composerMinimized", (event) => {
    let { detail } = event;
    console.log("composer minimized", detail);
  });

You can also pass in custom hooks that allow you to add functionality in response to certain end-user events. Read more about Composer Custom Hooks or Try our custom hooks demo app
