If anyone is wondering, there is a method for this now. 27d8b95

Hi,

There is currently no feature for this. But you can directly forward the token to the created instance.

const mailjs = new Mailjs();
mailjs.token = "MY_TOKEN";

This method will not give you the user ID and address so to solve this problem you will need a function to give the id and address information after issuing the token.

async function loginWithToken(token) {
  const mailjs = new Mailjs();
  mailjs.token = token;

  const res = await mailjs.me();

  // Throw the error message if the request failed.
  if(!res.status) throw new Error(res.message);

  mailjs.id = res.data.id;
  mailjs.address = res.data.address;

  return mailjs;
}

function loginSuccess(mailjs) {
  // mailjs maintains an authorized instance.
}

loginWithToken("MY_TOKEN")
  .then(loginSuccess)
  .catch(console.error)

I hope this will work for you.

Hi,

Yeah so this was my initial plan to set the token however as I mentioned, the token has a private type assigned to it, so you can't overwrite it. Not sure if this is a bug with the TypeScript typings, but this is what I get when I try to override the token. This is why I wasn't sure if it was possible or not.

Yes, you are right.
I added TypeScript to the project later, I don't remember why I used it with private. Maybe I can add a new function.

But overriding TypeScript for that line might be a workaround.
