A javascript sdk for Mailgun built with webpack, babel & es6. This can be used in node or in the browser*.
NOTE: If used in the browser, a proxy is required to communicate with the Mailgun api due to cors limitations. Also, do not publish your private api key in frontend code.
Table of Contents
- Requires node.js >= 4.x
Install mailgun.js with:
npm install mailgun.js
Next, require the module and instantiate a mailgun client by calling mailgun.client
with basic auth credentials (username: 'api', key: 'key-yourkeyhere')
.
var mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
var mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY || 'key-yourkeyhere'});
The following service methods are available to instantiated clients. The examples assume you have already created a mailgun client as mg
with valid credentials.
Method naming conventions:
get
orget{{Item}}
- expected response for client is a single objectlist
orlist{{Items}}
- expected response for client is a list of objectscreate
orcreate{{Item}}
- expected response for client is a single objectupdate
orupdate{{Item}}
- expected response is an object with a status messagedestroy
ordestroy{{Item}}
- expected response is an object with a status message

For this demo to work, you'll need to install and run http-proxy
locally. Install it with:
npm install -g http-proxy
Then run the following command from the mailgun-js directory:
http-server -p 4001 --proxy="https://api.mailgun.net"
Demo should be up and running at http://0.0.0.0:4001/examples/
- Requires node.js >= 4.x
Install node dependencies with:
npm install
npm run build
npm run tests
Watch tests with
npm run watch-tests
Releases occur after feature branches have been tested and merged into master.
First, checkout master and pull the latest commits.
git checkout master
git pull
