mailroom¶ ↑
DESCRIPTION:¶ ↑
mailroom is a Ruby on Rails plugin designed solely for development, to easily output text and HTML emails from ActionMailer to files that are dropped in the public directory for viewing in a browser, to make building and testing emails sent by your application much easier and quicker.
FEATURES:¶ ↑
Simply having this plugin present in your app will ensure that all mails that come through ActionMailer in development mode will be output to a folder in the public directory called mailroom. When a mail is saved, you’ll see something like this in the development log file:
Saved mail, viewable at myhost.local/mailroom/1234567890.html
If you have not set the :host parameter on the ActionMailer default_url_options, then you will see something like this in the log instead:
Saved mail, viewable at /mailroom/1234567890.html
If it’s a plain text mail, it’ll look like this:
Saved mail, viewable at /mailroom/1234567890.txt
And if it’s a multipart e-mail, it’ll include a line for each part, with the URL for plain text and HTML versions.
Additionally, every time a mail comes through mailroom, any mails in the mailroom folder older than 1 hour will be purged.
REQUIREMENTS:¶ ↑
As this is a Ruby on Rails plugin, the only requirement is Rails itself - Rails 2.3 is required.
