godocs.io builds.sr.ht status

A Go library for the Internet Message Format. It implements:

Features

  • Streaming API
  • Automatic encoding and charset handling (to decode all charsets, add import _ "github.com/emersion/go-message/charset" to your application)
  • A mail subpackage to read and write mail messages
  • DKIM-friendly
  • A textproto subpackage that just implements the wire format

Overview

Package message implements reading and writing multipurpose messages.

RFC 2045, RFC 2046 and RFC 2047 defines MIME, and RFC 2183 defines the Content-Disposition header field.

Add this import to your package if you want to handle most common charsets by default: 

import (
	_ "github.com/emersion/go-message/charset"
)
Example (Transform) 
// Let's assume r is an io.Reader that contains a message.
var r io.Reader

m, err := message.Read(r)
if message.IsUnknownCharset(err) {
	log.Println("Unknown encoding:", err)
} else if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// We'll add "This message is powered by Go" at the end of each text entity.
poweredBy := "\n\nThis message is powered by Go."

var b bytes.Buffer
w, err := message.CreateWriter(&b, m.Header)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Define a function that transforms message.
var transform func(w *message.Writer, e *message.Entity) error
transform = func(w *message.Writer, e *message.Entity) error {
	if mr := e.MultipartReader(); mr != nil {
		// This is a multipart entity, transform each of its parts
		for {
			p, err := mr.NextPart()
			if err == io.EOF {
				break
			} else if err != nil {
				return err
			}

			pw, err := w.CreatePart(p.Header)
			if err != nil {
				return err
			}

			if err := transform(pw, p); err != nil {
				return err
			}

			pw.Close()
		}
		return nil
	} else {
		body := e.Body
		if strings.HasPrefix(m.Header.Get("Content-Type"), "text/") {
			body = io.MultiReader(body, strings.NewReader(poweredBy))
		}
		_, err := io.Copy(w, body)
		return err
	}
}

if err := transform(w, m); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
w.Close()

log.Println(b.String())

var CharsetReader func(charset string, input io.Reader) (io.Reader, error)

CharsetReader, if non-nil, defines a function to generate charset-conversion readers, converting from the provided charset into UTF-8. Charsets are always lower-case. utf-8 and us-ascii charsets are handled by default. One of the the CharsetReader's result values must be non-nil.

Importing github.com/emersion/go-message/charset will set CharsetReader to a function that handles most common charsets. Alternatively, CharsetReader can be set to e.g. golang.org/x/net/html/charset.NewReaderLabel.

Functions

func IsUnknownCharset 

func IsUnknownCharset(err error) bool

IsUnknownCharset returns a boolean indicating whether the error is known to report that the charset advertised by the entity is unknown.

func IsUnknownEncoding 

func IsUnknownEncoding(err error) bool

IsUnknownEncoding returns a boolean indicating whether the error is known to report that the encoding advertised by the entity is unknown.

Types

type Entity 

type Entity struct {
	Header Header    // The entity's header.
	Body   io.Reader // The decoded entity's body.
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

An Entity is either a whole message or a one of the parts in the body of a multipart entity.

func New 

func New(header Header, body io.Reader) (*Entity, error)

New makes a new message with the provided header and body. The entity's transfer encoding and charset are automatically decoded to UTF-8.

If the message uses an unknown transfer encoding or charset, New returns an error that verifies IsUnknownCharset, but also returns an Entity that can be read.

func NewMultipart 

func NewMultipart(header Header, parts []*Entity) (*Entity, error)

NewMultipart makes a new multipart message with the provided header and parts. The Content-Type header must begin with "multipart/".

If the message uses an unknown transfer encoding, NewMultipart returns an error that verifies IsUnknownCharset, but also returns an Entity that can be read.

func Read 

func Read(r io.Reader) (*Entity, error)

Read reads a message from r. The message's encoding and charset are automatically decoded to raw UTF-8. Note that this function only reads the message header.

If the message uses an unknown transfer encoding or charset, Read returns an error that verifies IsUnknownCharset or IsUnknownEncoding, but also returns an Entity that can be read.

Example 
// Let's assume r is an io.Reader that contains a message.
var r io.Reader

m, err := message.Read(r)
if message.IsUnknownCharset(err) {
	// This error is not fatal
	log.Println("Unknown encoding:", err)
} else if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

if mr := m.MultipartReader(); mr != nil {
	// This is a multipart message
	log.Println("This is a multipart message containing:")
	for {
		p, err := mr.NextPart()
		if err == io.EOF {
			break
		} else if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}

		t, _, _ := p.Header.ContentType()
		log.Println("A part with type", t)
	}
} else {
	t, _, _ := m.Header.ContentType()
	log.Println("This is a non-multipart message with type", t)
}

Output:

func (*Entity) MultipartReader 

func (e *Entity) MultipartReader() MultipartReader

MultipartReader returns a MultipartReader that reads parts from this entity's body. If this entity is not multipart, it returns nil.

func (*Entity) Walk 

func (e *Entity) Walk(walkFunc WalkFunc) error

Walk walks the entity's multipart tree, calling walkFunc for each part in the tree, including the root entity.

Walk consumes the entity.

func (*Entity) WriteTo 

func (e *Entity) WriteTo(w io.Writer) error

WriteTo writes this entity's header and body to w. 

type Header struct {
	textproto.Header
}

A Header represents the key-value pairs in a message header.

func HeaderFromMap 

func HeaderFromMap(m map[string][]string) Header

HeaderFromMap creates a header from a map of header fields.

This function is provided for interoperability with the standard library. If possible, ReadHeader should be used instead to avoid loosing information. The map representation looses the ordering of the fields, the capitalization of the header keys, and the whitespace of the original header.

func (*Header) ContentDisposition 

func (h *Header) ContentDisposition() (disp string, params map[string]string, err error)

ContentDisposition parses the Content-Disposition header field, as defined in RFC 2183.

func (*Header) ContentType 

func (h *Header) ContentType() (t string, params map[string]string, err error)

ContentType parses the Content-Type header field.

If no Content-Type is specified, it returns "text/plain".

func (*Header) Copy 

func (h *Header) Copy() Header

Copy creates a stand-alone copy of the header.

func (*Header) Fields 

func (h *Header) Fields() HeaderFields

Fields iterates over all the header fields.

The header may not be mutated while iterating, except using HeaderFields.Del.

func (*Header) FieldsByKey 

func (h *Header) FieldsByKey(k string) HeaderFields

FieldsByKey iterates over all fields having the specified key.

The header may not be mutated while iterating, except using HeaderFields.Del.

func (*Header) SetContentDisposition 

func (h *Header) SetContentDisposition(disp string, params map[string]string)

SetContentDisposition formats the Content-Disposition header field, as defined in RFC 2183.

func (*Header) SetContentType 

func (h *Header) SetContentType(t string, params map[string]string)

SetContentType formats the Content-Type header field.

func (*Header) SetText 

func (h *Header) SetText(k, v string)

SetText sets a plaintext header field.

func (*Header) Text 

func (h *Header) Text(k string) (string, error)

Text parses a plaintext header field. The field charset is automatically decoded to UTF-8. If the header field's charset is unknown, the raw field value is returned and the error verifies IsUnknownCharset.

type HeaderFields 

type HeaderFields interface {
	textproto.HeaderFields

	// Text parses the value of the current field as plaintext. The field
	// charset is decoded to UTF-8. If the header field's charset is unknown,
	// the raw field value is returned and the error verifies IsUnknownCharset.
	Text() (string, error)
}

HeaderFields iterates over header fields.

type MultipartReader 

type MultipartReader interface {
	io.Closer

	// NextPart returns the next part in the multipart or an error. When there are
	// no more parts, the error io.EOF is returned.
	//
	// Entity.Body must be read completely before the next call to NextPart,
	// otherwise it will be discarded.
	NextPart() (*Entity, error)
}

MultipartReader is an iterator over parts in a MIME multipart body.

type UnknownCharsetError 

type UnknownCharsetError struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (UnknownCharsetError) Error 

func (u UnknownCharsetError) Error() string

func (UnknownCharsetError) Unwrap 

func (u UnknownCharsetError) Unwrap() error

type UnknownEncodingError 

type UnknownEncodingError struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (UnknownEncodingError) Error 

func (u UnknownEncodingError) Error() string

func (UnknownEncodingError) Unwrap 

func (u UnknownEncodingError) Unwrap() error

type WalkFunc 

type WalkFunc func(path []int, entity *Entity, err error) error

WalkFunc is the type of the function called for each part visited by Walk.

The path argument is a list of multipart indices leading to the part. The root part has a nil path.

If there was an encoding error walking to a part, the incoming error will describe the problem and the function can decide how to handle that error.

Unlike IMAP part paths, indices start from 0 (instead of 1) and a non-multipart message has a nil path (instead of {1}).

If an error is returned, processing stops.

type Writer 

type Writer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Writer writes message entities.

If the message is not multipart, it should be used as a WriteCloser. Don't forget to call Close.

If the message is multipart, users can either use CreatePart to write child parts or Write to directly pipe a multipart message. In any case, Close must be called at the end.

Example 
var b bytes.Buffer

var h message.Header
h.SetContentType("multipart/alternative", nil)
w, err := message.CreateWriter(&b, h)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

var h1 message.Header
h1.SetContentType("text/html", nil)
w1, err := w.CreatePart(h1)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
io.WriteString(w1, "<h1>Hello World!</h1><p>This is an HTML part.</p>")
w1.Close()

var h2 message.Header
h1.SetContentType("text/plain", nil)
w2, err := w.CreatePart(h2)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
io.WriteString(w2, "Hello World!\n\nThis is a text part.")
w2.Close()

w.Close()

log.Println(b.String())

Output:

func CreateWriter 

func CreateWriter(w io.Writer, header Header) (*Writer, error)

CreateWriter creates a new message writer to w. If header contains an encoding, data written to the Writer will automatically be encoded with it. The charset needs to be utf-8 or us-ascii.

func (*Writer) Close 

func (w *Writer) Close() error

Close implements io.Closer.

func (*Writer) CreatePart 

func (w *Writer) CreatePart(header Header) (*Writer, error)

CreatePart returns a Writer to a new part in this multipart entity. If this entity is not multipart, it fails. The body of the part should be written to the returned io.WriteCloser.

func (*Writer) Write 

func (w *Writer) Write(b []byte) (int, error)

Write implements io.Writer.
