minusmail's Issues

Testing Testing Testing

The mongoDB commit exposed lot's of issues with the current state of the code.

Write test to confirm the following:
-Each client uses only one socket session...(check server side for the duplicate issues)
-Test for mongoDB email retrieval. Retrieve set only one time per client. (Code needs to be fixed for this)
-Switching user current email. Test for email retrieval and inbox state...at the moment it keeps old emails

Research Jest and Enzyme to do this.

Backend Update filewatcher.js to determine recipient and only emit corresponding clients

At the moment all emails are displayed to all connected users.
Filewatcher needs to determine who the email is going to and then only emit to that clients socket.
It is likely that the class needs to be refactored so that a socket is not passed into the class. Instead use a callback method where server.js can determine who to emit to.

Eventually writing files to the directory won't be good enough and a database will be needed.
Look into Redis for a pub-sub solution

Add a drop down menu in the from field that parses mailobject and displays address fields

Gmail has a good example of how this works

Email Persistence

At the moment the user only receives emails while they are connected to the site. Any email received before or after cannot be received by them.

Determine a timeframe and implement a way to retrieve emails for a user within that period.
the simplest way I can think of is like this:
set up a directory structure where email gets it's own directory

--/tmp/emails/
---------------/emailaddress1
---------------/emailaddress2

Using fs whenever the client emits an updated email load all the files in that directory as mailobjects and emit result back over the socket. *It might be handy to read the age of each file and if they exceed the thresh hold then delete them and skip parsing and sending.
