I am developing outlook javascript add-in using vs2017. I have created a sample application to find attachments from outlook mail item. Here, While getting attachments from Exchange Server, It returns 200 OK.
I have my own cloud application looks like google drive. I want to upload outlook mail attachments on my cloud server using POST API call. API call was running successfully. But I am not able to get file content from the exchange server.
I have added some sample code over here.
Creating a service request
/// <reference path="../App.js" />
var xhr;
var serviceRequest;
(function () {
"use strict";
// The Office initialize function must be run each time a new page is loaded
Office.initialize = function (reason) {
$(document).ready(function () {
app.initialize();
initApp();
});
};
function initApp() {
$("#footer").hide();
if (Office.context.mailbox.item.attachments == undefined) {
var testButton = document.getElementById("testButton");
testButton.onclick = "";
showToast("Not supported", "Attachments are not supported by your Exchange server.");
} else if (Office.context.mailbox.item.attachments.length == 0) {
var testButton = document.getElementById("testButton");
testButton.onclick = "";
showToast("No attachments", "There are no attachments on this item.");
} else {
// Initalize a context object for the app.
// Set the fields that are used on the request
// object to default values.
serviceRequest = new Object();
serviceRequest.attachmentToken = "";
serviceRequest.ewsUrl = Office.context.mailbox.ewsUrl;
serviceRequest.attachments = new Array();
}
};
})();
function testAttachments() {
Office.context.mailbox.getCallbackTokenAsync(attachmentTokenCallback);
};
function attachmentTokenCallback(asyncResult, userContext) {
if (asyncResult.status == "succeeded") {
serviceRequest.attachmentToken = asyncResult.value;
makeServiceRequest();
}
else {
showToast("Error", "Could not get callback token: " + asyncResult.error.message);
}
}
function makeServiceRequest() {
var attachment;
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
// Update the URL to point to your service location.
xhr.open("POST", "https://localhost:8080/GetOutlookAttachments/AttachmentExampleService/api/AttachmentService", true);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
xhr.onreadystatechange = requestReadyStateChange;
// Translate the attachment details into a form easily understood by WCF.
for (i = 0; i < Office.context.mailbox.item.attachments.length; i++) {
attachment = Office.context.mailbox.item.attachments[i];
attachment = attachment._data$p$0 || attachment.$0_0;
if (attachment !== undefined) {
serviceRequest.attachments[i] = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(attachment));
}
}
// Send the request. The response is handled in the
// requestReadyStateChange function.
xhr.send(JSON.stringify(serviceRequest));
};
// Handles the response from the JSON web service.
function requestReadyStateChange() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
if (xhr.status == 200) {
var response = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
if (!response.isError) {
// The response indicates that the server recognized
// the client identity and processed the request.
// Show the response.
var names = "<h2>Attachments processed: " + response.attachmentsProcessed + "</h2>";
document.getElementById("names").innerHTML = names;
} else {
showToast("Runtime error", response.message);
}
} else {
if (xhr.status == 404) {
showToast("Service not found", "The app server could not be found.");
} else {
showToast("Unknown error", "There was an unexpected error: " + xhr.status + " -- " + xhr.statusText);
}
}
}
};
// Shows the service response.
function showResponse(response) {
showToast("Service Response", "Attachments processed: " + response.attachmentsProcessed);
}
// Displays a message for 10 seconds.
function showToast(title, message) {
var notice = document.getElementById("notice");
var output = document.getElementById('output');
notice.innerHTML = title;
output.innerHTML = message;
$("#footer").show("slow");
window.setTimeout(function () { $("#footer").hide("slow") }, 10000);
};
Please help me to get attachments from outlook mail and upload on my cloud server.
attachment._data$p$0 gives to attachment metadata. Get id from there and use getAttachmentContentAsync API to get the attachment content Documentation
