# 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 use cull_gmail::{ClientConfig, GmailClient, Result}; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<()> { // Load configuration from file or environment let config = ClientConfig::builder() .with_credential_file("credential.json") .build(); // Create Gmail client and authenticate let mut client = GmailClient::new_with_config(config).await?; // List first 10 messages client.set_max_results(10); client.get_messages(1).await?; client.log_messages().await?; Ok(()) } ``` ## Core Types ### GmailClient The main client for interacting with Gmail API: ```rust use cull_gmail::{GmailClient, MessageList}; // 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(); ``` ### ClientConfig Handles authentication and configuration: ```rust use cull_gmail::ClientConfig; // From credential file let config = ClientConfig::builder() .with_credential_file("path/to/credential.json") .with_config_path(".cull-gmail") .build(); // From individual OAuth2 parameters 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(); ``` ### Rules and Retention Policies Define automated message lifecycle rules: ```rust use cull_gmail::{Rules, Retention, MessageAge, EolAction}; // 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 ); // Save rules to file rules.save()?; // Load existing rules let loaded_rules = Rules::load()?; ``` ### Message Operations Batch operations on messages: ```rust 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 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 for real 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"), } ``` ## 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 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: ```rust use cull_gmail::{Error, Result}; match client.get_messages(1).await { Ok(_) => println!("Success!"), Err(Error::NoLabelsFound) => println!("No labels found in mailbox"), Err(Error::LabelNotFoundInMailbox(label)) => println!("Label '{}' not found", label), Err(Error::GoogleGmail1(e)) => println!("Gmail API error: {}", e), Err(e) => println!("Other error: {}", e), } ``` 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(()) } ```
