Meteor Email Attachments - meteor

Question

I've updated my meteor to 1.2, and I'm now trying to use the email attachment feature, but not sure how to.
Meteor's guide says refer to this, but it's not very helpful..
if(true == true){
var dataAttachments = attachment;
var dataText =
"Client Name: " + name +
"\rEmail: " + email +
"\rPhone: " + phone +
"\rCompany: " + company +
"\rDeliverables: " + deliverables +
"\rCopywriting: " + copywriting +
"\rPrint Services: " + print +
"\rIllustration: " + illustration +
"\rphotography: " + photography +
"\rTimelines: " + timelines +
"\rBudget: " + budget +
"\rDescription: " + description;
Meteor.call('sendEmail', dataText, dataAttachment);
//throwAlert is my helper method which creates popup with message
alert('Email sent');
}else{
alert('An error occurred. Sorry');
return false;
}
}
});
and
Meteor.methods({
sendEmail: function (text) {
check([text], [String]);
this.unblock();
Email.send({
to: 'jaeeun#antarcti.cc',
from: 'contact#myClientProject.com',
subject: 'New message from contact form',
text: text
});
Email.send().addAttachment(attachment);
}
});

Answer 1

I would suggest installing this package: https://atmospherejs.com/ashutosh/email-att
Then do:
var attachments = [];
attachments.push({filename: "xxx", filePath: "xxx"});
var email = {
from: "test#gmail.com",
to: "test2#gmail.com",
subject: "Test!",
text: "Text!"
attachmentOptions: attachments
};
Meteor.call('send_one_email_with_attachments', email, function(){});
Meteor.methods({
send_one_email_with_attachments: function(email){
this.unblock();
EmailAtt.send(email);
};
});
This made my life a lot easier after I fought Meteor's built-in email for a while. It even works side-by-side, so you can still use your old non-attachment email functions!
