Make google mail
Here's a simple implementation of a basic email system similar to Gmail:
Note: This is a simplified version and does not include all the features of Gmail. It's just a basic example to give you an idea of how an email system works.
Database:
We'll use a simple database to store the emails. We'll use a JSON file to store the emails.
Email Structure:
Each email will have the following structure:
id
: a unique identifier for the emailfrom
: the sender's email addressto
: the recipient's email addresssubject
: the subject of the emailbody
: the body of the emaildate
: the date and time the email was sent
Email System:
Here's a basic implementation of the email system:
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Google Mail</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Google Mail</h1>
<form id="compose-form">
<label for="to">To:</label>
<input type="email" id="to" name="to"><br><br>
<label for="subject">Subject:</label>
<input type="text" id="subject" name="subject"><br><br>
<label for="body">Body:</label>
<textarea id="body" name="body"></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
<ul id="inbox"></ul>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
script.js:
// Load the email database
fetch('emails.json')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(emails => {
// Render the inbox
renderInbox(emails);
});
// Function to render the inbox
function renderInbox(emails) {
const inbox = document.getElementById('inbox');
inbox.innerHTML = '';
emails.forEach(email => {
const emailHTML = `
<li>
<span>${email.from}</span>
<span>${email.subject}</span>
<span>${email.date}</span>
</li>
`;
inbox.innerHTML += emailHTML;
});
}
// Function to compose a new email
document.getElementById('compose-form').addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const to = document.getElementById('to').value;
const subject = document.getElementById('subject').value;
const body = document.getElementById('body').value;
const newEmail = {
from: '[email protected]',
to,
subject,
body,
date: new Date().toISOString()
};
// Add the new email to the database
fetch('emails.json', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(newEmail)
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(() => {
// Render the updated inbox
fetch('emails.json')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(emails => {
renderInbox(emails);
});
});
});
emails.json:
[
{
"id": 1,
"from": "[email protected]",
"to": "[email protected]",
"subject": "Hello",
"body": "Hello, how are you?",
"date": "2023-02-20T14:30:00.000Z"
},
{
"id": 2,
"from": "[email protected]",
"to": "[email protected]",
"subject": "Re: Hello",
"body": "Hi, I'm good. Thanks for asking.",
"date": "2023-02-21T10:00:00.000Z"
}
]
How it works:
- The user composes a new email by filling out the form.
- When the user submits the form, the script sends a POST request to the
emails.json
file with the new email data. - The
emails.json
file is updated with the new email. - The script renders the updated inbox by fetching the
emails.json
file and rendering the emails in the inbox.
This is a very basic implementation and does not include many features that a real email system would have, such as:
- User authentication
- Email filtering
- Spam detection
- Attachment support
- etc.
But it should give you an idea of how an email system works and how you can implement a basic email system using JavaScript and a JSON database.
