Usage
Step 1: Importing SwiftMime
To start using SwiftMime, import it in your Swift file:
“`swift
import SwiftMime
“`
Step 2: Parsing an Email Message
To parse an email message, you can use the `MimeParser` class. Here’s an example:
“`swift
let message = “””
From: sender@example.com
To: recipient@example.com
Subject: Hello, World!
This is the body of the email.
“””
do {
let parser = try MimeParser(headers: message)
let parsedHeaders = try parser.parseHeaders()
// Access parsed headers
} catch {
// Handle parsing errors
}
“`
Step 3: Composing an Email Message
To compose an email message, you can use the `MimeComposer` class. Here’s an example:
“`swift
let composer = MimeComposer()
composer.setSender(“sender@example.com”)
composer.addRecipient(“recipient@example.com”)
composer.setSubject(“Hello, World!”)
composer.setTextBody(“This is the body of the email.”)
// Compose MIME structure
do {
let message = try composer.compose()
// Access the composed message
} catch {
// Handle composition errors
}
“`
