Hi @Bomi. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
I apologize, but I don't have specific information about fetching emails from Gmail or using them with the ChatGPT API in the context of Wasp. The knowledge sources provided don't contain information about this particular use case.
Wasp is primarily a web application framework for building full-stack React and Node.js apps with a focus on productivity. While it does offer some authentication features, including Google authentication Google Auth (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/social-auth/google), this is mainly for user login purposes rather than fetching emails.
If you're looking to build an application that involves fetching emails and using them with ChatGPT, you would likely need to use separate APIs and services outside of what Wasp directly provides. You might want to look into the Gmail API for fetching emails and OpenAI's API for interacting with ChatGPT.
Is there perhaps a specific Wasp-related question I can help you with instead?

@kapa.ai Does wasp contain any fetch Email type of functions i can reference in general
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the knowledge sources provided, Wasp does not contain any specific functions for fetching emails in general. Wasp is primarily focused on building full-stack web applications using React, Node.js, and Prisma, and does not have built-in email fetching capabilities.
However, Wasp does provide some email-related functionality, but it's mainly focused on sending emails rather than fetching them:
1. Wasp offers an email-sending feature that can be configured in the
main.wasp
file Sending Emails (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/advanced/email). This allows you to integrate email functionality into your web application, but it's for sending emails, not fetching them.
2. Wasp supports email authentication, including email verification and password reset flows Email Authentication (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/email). This involves sending emails for verification and password reset purposes, but again, not fetching emails.
3. There are helper functions like getEmail
that allow you to access a user's email within your Wasp application Accessing Auth Fields (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/entities#accessing-the-auth-fields), but this is for accessing the email associated with a user account, not for fetching emails from an email service.
If you need to fetch emails in your Wasp application, you would likely need to implement this functionality yourself using external libraries or APIs (like the Gmail API) within your Node.js backend code. Wasp doesn't provide any built-in functions specifically for fetching emails from email services.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?@kapa.ai i have added a fetchEmail action to main.wasp and into my actions.js , given that i want to display the fetched emails onto my webpage , how do i import the actions function to be used in my Dashboard or Layout .jsx files
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To import and use your
fetchEmail
action in your Dashboard or Layout .jsx files, you can follow these steps:
1. First, make sure you've correctly declared the action in your main.wasp
file:
2. Then, in your Dashboard or Layout .jsx file, you can import the action from 'wasp/client/operations'. Here's how you can do it:
Using Actions (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/operations/actions#using-actions)
3. Once imported, you can use the action directly in your component. For example:
4. You can then call this function in response to a user action or in a useEffect
hook, depending on when you want to fetch the emails.
Remember that actions in Wasp are designed to be called directly without needing a special hook, unlike queries which use the useQuery
hook Using Actions (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/operations/actions#using-actions).
If you need to use the action with additional reactivity features, Wasp provides a useAction
hook, but for most cases, calling the action directly as shown above should suffice.
Make sure that your fetchEmail
action in actions.js
is properly implemented to handle the email fetching logic and return the fetched emails in a format that your frontend can use to display them.

yes fetching emails recieved in gmail
Wohooo @Bomi, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!
i want them to be displayed before i set them as a reference for future queries through the gpt api
@kapa.ai can you provide me help on how i can persist the google auth access and refresh tokens after Google login
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Certainly! I can help you with persisting Google Auth access and refresh tokens after a Google login in Wasp. However, it's important to note that Wasp doesn't have a built-in mechanism for this specific use case. We'll need to implement a custom solution. Here's a general approach you can take:
1. First, you'll need to modify the Google authentication configuration to request the necessary scopes for obtaining refresh tokens. You can do this in your
main.wasp
file:
2. In your @server/auth/google.js
file, you'll need to implement the config
function to request the necessary scopes:
Google Auth Configuration (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/social-auth/google#overrides)
3. Next, you'll need to extend the User
entity in your main.wasp
file to store the tokens:
4. To save the tokens after a successful login, you'll need to implement a custom getUserFieldsFn
for Google auth in your main.wasp
file:
5. In your @server/auth/google.js
file, implement the getUserFields
function:
Google Auth User Fields (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/social-auth/google#usersignupfields)
This approach will save the tokens to the user entity when they log in. However, please note that storing access tokens directly in your database can pose security risks. In a production environment, you should consider encrypting these tokens before storage and decrypting them when needed.
Also, remember that access tokens expire, so you'll need to implement a mechanism to refresh them using the refresh token when necessary. This would typically involve creating a separate action or job to handle token refreshing.
Lastly, be aware that this is a basic implementation and may need to be adjusted based on your specific requirements and security considerations.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You're correct, and I made a mistake in suggesting the use of
configFn
directly under the google
method in main.wasp
. Let me provide you with the correct information based on the latest Wasp documentation.
In Wasp version 0.13.0 and later, the configFn
field is indeed not directly used under the google
method in main.wasp
. Instead, you should define the configuration in a separate file and import it. Here's the correct way to set up Google authentication in your main.wasp
file:
Google Auth API Reference (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/social-auth/google#api-reference)
Then, in your src/auth/google.js
(or .ts
if you're using TypeScript) file, you should define the getConfig
function:
Google Auth Configuration (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/social-auth/google#api-reference)
This getConfig
function should return an object with the scopes for the OAuth provider. If you need additional configuration, such as requesting offline access for refresh tokens, you can include it here.
I apologize again for the earlier confusion. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, as it allows me to provide you with the correct and up-to-date information.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?i am more lost than i was before 💀
Can a human assist with something? 🙂
I'd recommend tostart with understanding the available auth hooks: https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/auth-hooks#supported-hooks and how to configure Google OAuth provider: https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/social-auth/google#overrides
0. You'll need to set up the OAuth client to have the correct access rights and include those in the
configFn
scopes field
1. You'll probably want to use onAfterSignup
hook to get the refresh token / access token.
2. You'll probably want to refresh the access token with an async job to keep it fresh
3. Then you'll have a valid access token - you'll use that with the Google APIthanks for the links , i'll be back if i have any problems 🙂
@kapa.ai i have reimplemented my google auth and has successfully been able to receive the access token, however i implemented the readonly gmail api on google's cloud console and the token generated doesnt show the require readonly scope
1. config as as follows
export const config = () => ({
scope: ['profile',
'email',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly'
],
accessType: 'offline',
prompt: 'consent'
});
2. Google Cloud Console ensured to have gmail.readonly scope added
3. ngrok is used to expose my port, ngrok generated URL has been added to the BASE_URL in env.server and added to the authorised domains in google cloud console
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information you've provided, it seems you've taken the correct steps to implement Google authentication with the Gmail API readonly scope. However, if the token generated doesn't show the required readonly scope, there might be a few reasons for this. Let's go through some potential solutions:
1. First, make sure that your
config
function is being correctly imported and used in your main.wasp
file. It should look something like this:
Google Auth API Reference (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/social-auth/google#api-reference)
2. If the configuration is correct, try clearing your browser's cookies and cache, then attempt to log in again. Sometimes, Google remembers previous consent and doesn't prompt for new scopes.
3. Ensure that you've added the Gmail API to your Google Cloud Console project, not just the scope. You need to enable the Gmail API in the "APIs & Services" dashboard.
4. Double-check that the Client ID and Client Secret in your .env.server
file match the ones in your Google Cloud Console project.
5. In the Google Cloud Console, under "OAuth consent screen", make sure the Gmail readonly scope is listed under "Scopes for Google APIs" and that it's in the "In use" state.
6. If you're testing with a Google Workspace account, ensure that the Gmail API is enabled for your organization.
7. Try adding approval_prompt: 'force'
to your config function. This will force Google to show the consent screen every time:
8. If none of the above work, you might want to implement a custom userSignupFields
function to log the profile data you're receiving from Google. This can help you debug what scopes are actually being returned:
Then in your @src/auth/google.js
:
Google Auth User Fields (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/social-auth/google#usersignupfields)
This will log the data received from Google, which should include the scopes that were granted.
Remember, when dealing with OAuth and API scopes, it's crucial to ensure all parts of the system (your app, Google Cloud Console, and the user's consent) are aligned. If the issue persists after trying these steps, you might want to double-check your Google Cloud Console setup or consider reaching out to Google's support for further assistance.
