How can I get multiple messages by IDs in one call in the Nylas Node SDK?-CodePudding

Im using the nylas sdk to retrieve some messages from my google Workspace inbox.

So far from the documentation I know I can get the messages with some search criteria like this:

const Nylas = require('nylas');

Nylas.config({
    clientId: <CLIENT_ID>,
    clientSecret: <CLIENT_SECRET>,
});
  
const nylas = Nylas.with(<ACCESS_TOKEN>);

nylas.messages.search("from:[email protected]").then(messages => {
    for (let message of messages) {
        console.log(message.subject);
    }  
});

If Im keeping track of a set of message ids is there a way I can get back those messages by passing the IDs?

CodePudding user response：

If you're on the Nylas Node SDK v6.2 or newer, you can use the findMultiple function that exists on the MessageRestfulModelCollection class. So lets assume we're collecting IDs like so:

const Nylas = require('nylas');

Nylas.config({
  clientId: <CLIENT_ID>,
  clientSecret: <CLIENT_SECRET>,
});
  
const nylas = Nylas.with(<ACCESS_TOKEN>);

const listOfIds = nylas
  .messages
  .search("from:[email protected]")
  .then(messages => messages.map(message => message.id));

You can fetch all the messages by the list of IDs in one call like so:

nylas.messages.findMultiple(listOfIds).then(messages => {
  for (let message of messages) {
    console.log(message.subject);
  }  
});

Happy coding!
