How can I use the Storyblok Email Service in Javascript / Typescript?

Question

I have included the storyblok object and the serializeArray function:

import { serializeArray } from '../utils';
import { storyblok } from '../shims/Storyblok';

Now i want to pass the form data to the sendEmail function. How does it work?

submit(event:Event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    let formData = serializeArray(<HTMLFormElement> this.$());

    // what to do here?

    storyblok.sendEmail(message,
        // success
        function(data:any) {
            console.log(data);
            console.log('success');
        },
        // error
        function(data:any) {
            console.log(data);
            console.log('error');
        }
    )
}

The Storyblok contact form API allows you to pass a parameter in the following format:

var message = {};
message['message[email]'] = 'Valid Email goes here'; // assign your email field here
message['message[body]']  = 'This is my Message'; // assign your message field here

Those 2 fields ( email & body ) are required - you can pass as many parameters as you want to the API.

You can try your request directly using the following cURL request

curl 'https://api.storyblok.com/v1/messages?token={{YOUR_TOKEN}}'
