# cull-gmail Library Documentation The `cull-gmail` library provides a Rust API for managing Gmail messages through the Gmail API. It enables programmatic email culling operations including authentication, message querying, filtering, and batch operations (trash/delete). ## Installation Add the library to your `Cargo.toml`: ```toml [dependencies] cull-gmail = "0.0.10" tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["macros", "rt-multi-thread"] } ``` ## Quick Start Here's a minimal example to get started: ```rust # // This is a compile-only test since it requires OAuth credentials use cull_gmail::{ClientConfig, GmailClient, MessageList, Result}; // Example of how to set up the client (requires valid OAuth credentials) async fn setup_client() -> Result { let config = ClientConfig::builder() .with_client_id("your-client-id") .with_client_secret("your-client-secret") .build(); let mut client = GmailClient::new_with_config(config).await?; // Configure message listing client.set_max_results(10); // client.get_messages(1).await?; // client.log_messages().await?; Ok(client) } fn main() {} ``` ## Core Types ### GmailClient The main client for interacting with Gmail API: ```rust # use cull_gmail::Result; # use cull_gmail::{GmailClient, MessageList, ClientConfig}; # # async fn example() -> Result<()> { # let config = ClientConfig::builder().with_client_id("test").with_client_secret("test").build(); // Create client with configuration let mut client = GmailClient::new_with_config(config).await?; // Query messages with Gmail search syntax client.set_query("older_than:1y label:promotions"); client.add_labels(&["INBOX".to_string()])?; client.set_max_results(200); // Get messages (0 = all pages, 1 = first page only) // client.get_messages(0).await?; // Access message data let messages = client.messages(); let message_ids = client.message_ids(); # Ok(()) # } # fn main() {} ``` ### ClientConfig Handles authentication and configuration: ```rust use cull_gmail::ClientConfig; // From individual OAuth2 parameters (recommended for doctests) let config = ClientConfig::builder() .with_client_id("your-client-id") .with_client_secret("your-client-secret") .with_auth_uri("https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth") .with_token_uri("https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token") .add_redirect_uri("http://localhost:8080") .build(); // Configuration with file paths (requires actual files) // let config = ClientConfig::builder() // .with_credential_file("path/to/credential.json") // .with_config_path(".cull-gmail") // .build(); ``` ### Rules and Retention Policies Define automated message lifecycle rules: ```rust use cull_gmail::{Rules, Retention, MessageAge, EolAction}; # use cull_gmail::Result; # fn main() -> Result<()> { // Create a rule set let mut rules = Rules::new(); // Add retention rules rules.add_rule( Retention::new(MessageAge::Years(1), true), Some(&"old-emails".to_string()), false // false = trash, true = delete ); rules.add_rule( Retention::new(MessageAge::Months(6), true), Some(&"promotions".to_string()), false ); # let home = std::env::home_dir().unwrap(); # let dir = home.join(".cull-gmail"); # let _ = std::fs::create_dir(dir); // Save rules to file rules.save()?; // Load existing rules let loaded_rules = Rules::load()?; # Ok(()) # } ``` ### Message Operations Batch operations on messages: ```rust # use cull_gmail::{RuleProcessor, EolAction, GmailClient, Rules, ClientConfig, MessageAge, Retention, Result, MessageList}; # # async fn example() -> Result<()> { # let config = ClientConfig::builder().with_client_id("test").with_client_secret("test").build(); # let mut client = GmailClient::new_with_config(config).await?; # let mut rules = Rules::new(); # rules.add_rule(Retention::new(MessageAge::Years(1), true), Some(&"test".to_string()), false); use cull_gmail::{RuleProcessor, EolAction}; // Set up rule and dry-run mode client.set_execute(false); // Dry run - no actual changes let rule = rules.get_rule(1).unwrap(); client.set_rule(rule); // Find messages matching rule for a label would require network access // client.find_rule_and_messages_for_label("promotions").await?; // Check what action would be performed if let Some(action) = client.action() { match action { EolAction::Trash => println!("Would move {} messages to trash", client.messages().len()), EolAction::Delete => println!("Would delete {} messages permanently", client.messages().len()), } } // Execute operations (commented out for doctest) // client.set_execute(true); // match client.action() { // Some(EolAction::Trash) => client.batch_trash().await?, // Some(EolAction::Delete) => client.batch_delete().await?, // None => println!("No action specified"), // } # Ok(()) # } # fn main() {} ``` ## Configuration ### OAuth2 Setup 1. Create OAuth2 credentials in [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/) 2. Download the credential JSON file 3. Configure the client: ```rust use cull_gmail::ClientConfig; // Build config with OAuth parameters (recommended for tests) let config = ClientConfig::builder() .with_client_id("your-client-id") .with_client_secret("your-client-secret") .build(); // Or from credential file (requires actual file) // let config = ClientConfig::builder() // .with_credential_file("path/to/credential.json") // .build(); ``` ### Configuration File The library supports TOML configuration files (default: `~/.cull-gmail/cull-gmail.toml`): ```toml credentials = "credential.json" config_root = "~/.cull-gmail" rules = "rules.toml" execute = false # Alternative: direct OAuth2 parameters # client_id = "your-client-id" # client_secret = "your-client-secret" # token_uri = "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token" # auth_uri = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth" ``` ### Environment Variables Override configuration with environment variables: ```bash export APP_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/credential.json" export APP_EXECUTE="true" export APP_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id" export APP_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret" ``` ## Error Handling The library uses a comprehensive error type: Common error types: - `NoLabelsFound`: Mailbox has no labels - `LabelNotFoundInMailbox(String)`: Specific label not found - `RuleNotFound(usize)`: Rule ID doesn't exist - `GoogleGmail1(Box)`: Gmail API errors - `StdIO(std::io::Error)`: File I/O errors - `Config(config::ConfigError)`: Configuration errors ## Async Runtime The library requires an async runtime (Tokio recommended): ```toml [dependencies] tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["macros", "rt-multi-thread"] } ``` ```rust #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> cull_gmail::Result<()> { // Your code here Ok(()) } ```
