Send email thtough api endpoint

Justoverclock

hi all, i have a question, i'm trying to build an extension that allow people to send feedback on the fly, and i need to use an api endpoint.

can someone give me some tips?

basically i have:

const options = {
      id: 'myid', // id to identify the form on the backend
      endpoint: 'https://example.com/feedback', // enpoint of backend to handle the submission
}

what should i do to use flarum api? can someone show some example?

Maybe this can be of help https://github.com/clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-reports

This extension adds extra forms on the frontend that are submitted to a new API endpoint in Flarum. There's no email sending though.

That's the extension I wrote during those two live streams

As i do not know how to use the backend api in Flarum, if someone is interested to this extension, and want to collaborate with me, we can release this as free for the community.

we need only a post request from the backend, i think just some line of code for a developer. let me know if anyone is interested to cooperate.

this idea comes to my mind after @peopleinside post about his plugin for feedback 🙂
