If you have Val Town Pro, you can send emails to anyone via the to , cc , and bcc fields. If you don't have Val Town Pro, you can only send emails to yourself, so leave those fields blank. from The from is limited to a few options: It defaults to notifications@val.town if you don't specify it. If you do specify it, it must be of the form: your_username.valname@valtown.email . replyTo replyTo accepts a string email or an object with strings for email and name (optional). This can be useful if you are sending emails to others with Val Town Pro. import { email } from "https://esm.town/v/std/email";
await email({
to: "someone_else@example.com",
from: "your_username.valname@valtown.email",
replyTo: "your_email@example.com",
text: "these pretzels are making me thirsty",
}); Attachments You can attach files to your emails by using the attachments field.
Attachments need to be Base64 encoded,
which is that the btoa
method is doing in this example: import { email } from "https://esm.town/v/std/email";
export const stdEmailAttachmentExample = email({
attachments: [
{
content: btoa("hello attachments!"),
filename: "test.txt",
type: "text",
disposition: "attachment",
},
],
}); Here's an example sending a PDF . 📝 Edit docs

passkeys_demo

Passkeys Demo Passkeys are pretty neat! I wanted to get a demo working in Val Town so I ported over https://github.com/maximousblk/passkeys-demo. One challenge was that the original extensively uses DenoKV store with compound keys and values. I created @stevekrouse/DenoSyntheticKV as a replacement for DenoKV. It uses SuperJSON to encode the keys and values. You can find the client-side script for the main page here: @stevekrouse/passkey_script
