Example


`javascript
/**
* Sample React Native App
* https://github.com/facebook/react-native
* @flow
*/

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Alert, Button } from 'react-native';
import Mailer from 'react-native-mail';

export default class App extends Component {

handleEmail = () => {
Mailer.mail({
subject: 'need help',
recipients: ['support@example.com'],
ccRecipients: ['supportCC@example.com'],
bccRecipients: ['supportBCC@example.com'],
body: 'A Bold Body',
customChooserTitle: 'This is my new title', // Android only (defaults to "Send Mail")
isHTML: true,
attachments: [{
// Specify either path or uri to indicate where to find the file data.
// The API used to create or locate the file will usually indicate which it returns.
// An absolute path will look like: /cacheDir/photos/some image.jpg
// A URI starts with a protocol and looks like: content://appname/cacheDir/photos/some%20image.jpg
path: '', // The absolute path of the file from which to read data.
uri: '', // The uri of the file from which to read the data.
// Specify either type or mimeType to indicate the type of data.
type: '', // Mime Type: jpg, png, doc, ppt, html, pdf, csv
mimeType: '', // - use only if you want to use custom type
name: '', // Optional: Custom filename for attachment
}]
}, (error, event) => {
Alert.alert(
error,
event,
[
{text: 'Ok', onPress: () => console.log('OK: Email Error Response')},
{text: 'Cancel', onPress: () => console.log('CANCEL: Email Error Response')}
],
{ cancelable: true }
)
});
}

render() {
return (

onPress={this.handleEmail}
title="Email Me"
color="#841584"
accessabilityLabel="Purple Email Me Button"
/>

);
}
}

On Android, the callback will only be called if an error occurs. The event` argument is unused!

Here is how it looks:
