MailDataRequired requires MailContent?

[0x80]

Issue Summary

I'm running into a problem with Typescript because it doesn't let me build an email without a content field. Is the MailDataRequired correct?

I never used to send content with my emails. Only substitutions. The content / templates live on your servers.

Code Snippet

export type MailDataRequired = MailData & (
    { text: string } | { html: string } | { templateId: string } | { content: MailContent[] & { 0: MailContent } });

Technical details:

• sendgrid-nodejs version: @sendgrid/client@^6.5.3

BTW: 6.5.0 doesn't seem to have this weird { 0: MailContent } requirement, but still content is required.

watching this one too. updated my package and now not sure about this

Considering this a duplicate of #1056, unless I'm mistaken.

#1041 introduced in the 6.5.4 release required one of text, html, or content. It was later pointed out that templateId by itself should also be allowed. This was fixed as part #1053 but has yet to be released.

@childish-sambino this is still an issue on 6.5.4 the type is defined like this:

type MailDataRequired = MailData & (
  { text: string } | { html: string } | { content: MailContent[] & { 0: MailContent } });

That is making content a required property, is there a reason for that when MailData defines it as a conditional property? I fixed it by passing:

{...mailData, content: undefined}

#1041 introduced in the 6.5.4 release required one of text, html, or content.

@rodrigomf24 Does mailData not have one of those?

[rodrigomf24]

@childish-sambino no just a templateId and dynamicTemplateData

It was later pointed out that templateId by itself should also be allowed. This was fixed as part #1053 but has yet to be released.

I just got version 7.0.0 and I still see this error

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript: src/email-templates/verification-email-template.ts(15,25): error TS2769: No overload matches this call. Overload 1 of 2, '(data: MailDataRequired, isMultiple?: boolean | undefined, cb?: ((err: Error | ResponseError, result: [ClientResponse, {}]) => void) | undefined): Promise<...>', gave the following error.

If this has changed in 7.0.0, where is latest documentation for the send api please? Can't find much here. @childish-sambino

Thanks.

[childish-sambino]

Yes, this was released in 6.5.5

@childish-sambino What do you think about exporting MailDataRequired from the @sendgrid/mail package as well?
