# Gmail Reader
|
|
|
|
Monorepo with a React + Vite + DaisyUI client, a Fastify API, and a Gmail push watcher. The API owns Google OAuth, stores tokens in SQLite, and calls the Gmail API with `gmail.modify`. The browser only receives an HTTP-only session cookie (read-only inbox UI). The watcher reuses those tokens for Pub/Sub receipt processing and for the agent CLI (`npm run gmail`).
|
|
|
|
Agent playbooks: [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md), [docs/usage.md](docs/usage.md), [docs/development.md](docs/development.md).
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Node.js 20+
|
|
- A Google Cloud OAuth **Web application** client with:
|
|
- Scope: `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify`
|
|
- Authorized JavaScript origin: `https://oauth.0dev.web.id` (and `http://localhost:5173` for local)
|
|
- Authorized redirect URIs:
|
|
- `https://oauth.0dev.web.id/callback`
|
|
- `http://localhost:5173/callback` (local; Vite proxies this to Fastify)
|
|
|
|
### Change Google API permissions
|
|
|
|
If you previously used `gmail.readonly`, update the OAuth consent screen and re-consent:
|
|
|
|
1. **APIs & Services → Library**: Gmail API enabled.
|
|
2. **OAuth consent screen** (or **Google Auth Platform → Data Access**): add `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify`; remove `gmail.readonly` if listed.
|
|
3. While the app is **External + Testing**, list every mailbox under **Test users** (`gmail.modify` is sensitive).
|
|
4. Keep the same Client ID / secret and redirect URIs.
|
|
5. Restart the API and **sign in once per Gmail account** via the web UI so refresh tokens pick up the new scope.
|
|
|
|
Full detail: [docs/development.md](docs/development.md#change-google-api-permissions-gmailmodify).
|
|
|
|
## Local development
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fill in `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`, `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET`, and a long `SESSION_SECRET`. Keep:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:5173/callback
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- UI: http://localhost:5173
|
|
- API: http://localhost:3000
|
|
- Watcher (optional): `npm run dev:watcher` → http://localhost:3001
|
|
|
|
Vite proxies `/auth`, `/callback`, and `/api` to Fastify so the Google redirect stays on the same origin as the SPA.
|
|
|
|
Sign in via the UI at least once so SQLite has a refresh token before starting the watcher or CLI.
|
|
|
|
### Agent CLI (optional)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run gmail -- accounts
|
|
npm run gmail -- list --query 'newer_than:7d'
|
|
npm run gmail -- archive MESSAGE_ID --reason "noise"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [docs/usage.md](docs/usage.md). Mutating commands require `--reason`. The CLI never sends mail.
|
|
|
|
## Production (one process)
|
|
|
|
Build the frontend, then start Fastify. Fastify serves `apps/web/dist` and handles `/callback` itself.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run build
|
|
NODE_ENV=production GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=https://oauth.0dev.web.id/callback npm start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Point your reverse proxy at the Fastify port (`PORT`, default 3000). Send the whole host to that one process — SPA, `/api`, `/auth`, and `/callback` must share `https://oauth.0dev.web.id`.
|
|
|
|
Example Caddy:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
oauth.0dev.web.id {
|
|
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:3000
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
SQLite is stored at `apps/api/data/app.db`. Keep that directory writable and backed up.
|
|
|
|
## Gmail push watcher
|
|
|
|
Gmail does not POST to you directly. It publishes to **Cloud Pub/Sub**, which push-delivers to `POST /pubsub/gmail`.
|
|
|
|
### GCP setup
|
|
|
|
1. Enable **Gmail API** and **Cloud Pub/Sub** in the same Google Cloud project as the OAuth client.
|
|
2. Create a topic, e.g. `projects/YOUR_PROJECT/topics/gmail-push`.
|
|
3. Grant **Pub/Sub Publisher** on that topic to `serviceAccount:gmail-api-push@system.gserviceaccount.com`.
|
|
4. Create a **push subscription** whose endpoint is publicly reachable HTTPS, e.g. `https://oauth.0dev.web.id/pubsub/gmail?token=YOUR_TOKEN`.
|
|
5. Put the topic name and token in `.env` (`GOOGLE_PUBSUB_TOPIC`, `PUBSUB_VERIFICATION_TOKEN`).
|
|
|
|
Start after a user has signed in through the web app:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run start:watcher
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example Caddy (API on 3000, watcher on 3001):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
oauth.0dev.web.id {
|
|
handle /pubsub/gmail* {
|
|
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:3001
|
|
}
|
|
handle {
|
|
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:3000
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The watcher renews `users.watch` on startup and every 12 hours. New INBOX mail runs through match → parse → PocketBase (`spendings`). Details: [docs/development.md](docs/development.md).
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
- Sign in with Google (server-side authorization code flow; `gmail.modify`)
|
|
- List / search / read mail in the web UI (read-only)
|
|
- Multi-account tokens in SQLite with a configurable default mailbox
|
|
- Agent CLI: list, read, summarize, labels, archive, label, draft, forward-as-draft, audit log
|
|
- Watch INBOX via Gmail push (Pub/Sub) and parse e-receipts into PocketBase
