Ajax: Sending attachement with ajax / restApi

Plone Support Customizing Plone
1

Is it possible to use plonerestapi (or similar) to send a mail with a (small) attachement ‘from ajax’ ?
If yes, are there any docs / examples

By restapi, I am thinking about.

        $.ajax({

          url: '@@email-send',

          type: 'POST',

          headers: {

            'Accept': 'application/json',

            'Content-Type': 'application/json'

          },

base64encode your file and add the encoded string in a MIME - Multipart message.

The following (PHP) code might be usefull:

caveat If you use Plone's REST API you won't be able to send multipart messages unless you patch it

plone/restapi/services/email_send/post.py prepends a message_intro to the actual message:

    message = f"{message_intro} \\n {message}"

If you comment out line 108 the multipart message will work as expected.

sed -i \
    '/^        message = f"{message_intro} \\n {message}"/ s/./#&/' \
    /path/to/your/site-packages/plone/restapi/services/email_send/post.py

Thanks. I ended up making a new restapi endpoint based on email send

Here you'll find an minimal working example how to do it with fetch using the patched /@send-mail endpoint.
