Phoenix.View + Swoosh.

This module provides the ability to set the HTML and/or text body of an email by rendering templates.

Installation

Add :phoenix_swoosh to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:phoenix_swoosh, "~> 1.0"},

    # without phoenix_html, phoenix_swoosh only works with plain text templates
    # if you want to use HTML templates
    # {:phoenix_html, "~> 3.0"},
  ]
end

You probably also want to install finch, hackney or an HTTP client of your own choice, if you are using a provider that Swoosh talks to via their HTTP API.

Or :gen_smtp if you are working with a provider that only works through SMTP.

See Swoosh for more details.

Usage

1. Classic setup

Setting up the templates:

# path_to/templates/user_notifier/welcome.html.eex
<div>
  <h1>Welcome to Sample, <%= @name %>!</h1>
</div>
# path_to/views/user_notifier_view.ex
defmodule Sample.UserNotifierView do
  use Phoenix.View, root: "path_to/templates"
end

Passing values to templates:

# path_to/notifiers/user_notifier.ex
defmodule Sample.UserNotifier do
  use Phoenix.Swoosh, view: Sample.UserNotifierView

  def welcome(user) do
    new()
    |> from("tony@stark.com")
    |> to(user.email)
    |> subject("Hello, Avengers!")
    |> render_body("welcome.html", %{name: name})
  end
end

Maybe with a layout:

# path_to/templates/layout/email.html.eex
<html>
  <head>
    <title><%= @email.subject %></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <%= @inner_content %>
  </body>
</html>
defmodule Sample.LayoutView do
  use Phoenix.View, root: "path_to/templates"
end
# path_to/notifiers/user_notifier.ex
defmodule Sample.UserNotifier do
  use Phoenix.Swoosh,
    view: Sample.NotifierView,
    layout: {Sample.LayoutView, :email}

  # ... same welcome ...
end

Layout can also be added/changed dynamically with put_new_layout/2 and put_layout/2

2. Standalone setup

# path_to/templates/user_notifier/welcome.html.eex
<div>
  <h1>Welcome to Sample, <%= @name %>!</h1>
</div>
# path_to/notifiers/user_notifier.ex
defmodule Sample.UserNotifier do
  use Phoenix.Swoosh,
    template_root: "path_to/templates",
    template_path: "user_notifier"

  # ... same welcome ...
end

In this setup, the notifier module itself serves as the view module

template_root, template_path and template_namespace will be passed to Phoenix.View as root, path and namespace.

Layout can be setup the same way as classic setup.
