Sending Emails from Amber Application

What's the best way to do this? Does Smalltalk/Amber have a facility for sending (SSL) email via an email relay such as Gmail? This is what I do in Python and Go apps.

The ability to send emails from within my Amber app is critical. If Smalltalk/Amber doesn't have a way, perhaps I can use some third-party JS library? (I'm not aware of any, but then I don't use JS much.)

Thanks.

Yes, that's the way for most things. Take a JS library if there is a decent one and use it. Use for example microjs.com to find one.

I guess that you do not run Python in the browser, so as long as you are on a server w/ NodeJs (running Amber on Node for example), you can use things like
http://www.nodemailer.com/

It may be interesting to have a sample fully in Amber indeed. You may want to read:

https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber/wiki/From-smalltalk-to-javascript-and-back
https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber/wiki/Getting-started-with-Amber-and-socket.io
https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber/wiki/Literal-notation

for examples on how to map the JS code to Amber code.

Here is a snippet from nodemailer (checkmarks are artifacts when posting, check the nodemailer site...)

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

// create reusable transporter object using SMTP transport
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'Gmail',
auth: {
user: '[hidden email]',
pass: 'userpass'
}
});

// NB! No need to recreate the transporter object. You can use
// the same transporter object for all e-mails

// setup e-mail data with unicode symbols
var mailOptions = {
from: 'Fred Foo ✔ <[hidden email]>', // sender address
to: '[hidden email], [hidden email]', // list of receivers
subject: 'Hello ✔', // Subject line
text: 'Hello world ✔', // plaintext body
html: '<b>Hello world ✔</b>' // html body
};

// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
if(error){
console.log(error);
}else{
console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
}
});
