GmailApiJp

GmailApiJp helps you create Gmail drafts more easily by using Ruby.
It lets you avoid implementing a complicated coding on handling Gmail API to do so.
This Gem completely supports Japanese language.

You need to create an application and have client_secret.json to use Gmail API.
see: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/ruby

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gmail_api_jp'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gmail_api_jp

Put a yaml file named gmail_draft.yml to your application's root directory. the yaml file should be like:

application_name: Your application name 
client_secrets_path: "/Path/to/your/client_secret.json"

First, require gmail_api_jp.
require 'gmail_api_jp'

Create a string for the draft like this:

text =<<TEXT
To: foo@example.com
Cc: bar@example.com, baz@example.com
Subject: Hello, my friend

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,

TEXT

Then, initialize a GmailApiJp::Draft instance with the string you just declared.

draft = GmailApiJp::Draft.new(text)
draft.create_draft

Congratulations!
You will see a new draft when you sign in your Gmail account.

Subject and Body can handle Japanese characters.

NOTE: First time you initialize GmailApiJp::Draft, it requires authorization.
Just follow the instruction.
