Permanently Delete a Specific GMail Message

See more GMail REST API Examples

Immediately and permanently deletes the specified message. This operation cannot be undone. (This is not the same as moving a message to Trash.) React Native

import { Http } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const http = new Http();
  http.authToken = 'GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN';

  // The id of the GMail message to delete.
  const id = '1669cc9a926bb8c1';
  const userId = 'me';

  http.setUrlVar('userId', 'me');
  http.setUrlVar('id', id);

  // Delete the email.
  const url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/{$userId}/messages/{$id}';
  let responseStr: string;
  try {
    responseStr = await http.quickDeleteStrAsync(url);
  } catch {
    console.log(http.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`status = ${http.lastStatus}`);

  // A 204 response indicate success.
  // It is common for HTTP DELETE operations to respond with a 204 status code with an empty body for success.
  // You'll find many REST APIs follow this custom..
  if (http.lastStatus !== 204) {
    console.log(responseStr);
    console.log('Failed.');
    return;
  }

  console.log('Message deleted!');
