Send email from .NET or .NET Core. A bunch of useful extension packages make this dead simple and very powerful.
FluentEmail.Core - Just the domain model. Includes very basic defaults, but is also included with every other package here.
FluentEmail.Smtp - Now we're talking. Send emails via SMTP.
FluentEmail.Razor - Generate emails using Razor templates. Anything you can do in ASP.NET is possible here. Uses the RazorLight project under the hood.
FluentEmail.Mailgun - Send emails via MailGun's REST API.
FluentEmail.SendGrid - Send email via the SendGrid API.
Basic Usage
var email = Email
.From("john@email.com")
.To("bob@email.com", "bob")
.Subject("hows it going bob")
.Body("yo dawg, sup?")
.Send();
Dependency Injection You can configure FluentEmail in startup.cs with these helper methods. This will by default inject IFluentEmail (send a single email) and IFluentEmailFactory (used to send multiple emails in a single context) with the ISender and ITemplateRenderer configured using AddRazorRenderer(), AddSmtpSender() or other packages.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services
.AddFluentEmail("fromemail@test.test")
.AddRazorRenderer()
.AddSmtpSender("localhost", 25);
}
Using a template
// Using Razor templating package (or set using AddRazorRenderer in services)
Email.DefaultRenderer = new RazorRenderer();
var template = "Dear @Model.Name, You are totally @Model.Compliment.";
var email = Email
.From("bob@hotmail.com")
.To("somedude@gmail.com")
.Subject("woo nuget")
.UsingTemplate(template, new { Name = "Luke", Compliment = "Awesome" });
Sending Emails
// Using Smtp Sender package (or set using AddSmtpSender in services)
Email.DefaultSender = new SmtpSender();
//send normally
email.Send();
//send asynchronously
await email.SendAsync();
Template File from Disk
var email = Email
.From("bob@hotmail.com")
.To("somedude@gmail.com")
.Subject("woo nuget")
.UsingTemplateFromFile($"{Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()}/Mytemplate.cshtml", new { Name = "Rad Dude" });
Embedded Template File
Note for .NET Core 2 users: You'll need to add the following line to the project containing any embedded razor views. See this issue for more details.
<MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>false</MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>
var email = new Email("bob@hotmail.com")
.To("benwholikesbeer@twitter.com")
.Subject("Hey cool name!")
.UsingTemplateFromEmbedded("Example.Project.Namespace.template-name.cshtml",
new { Name = "Bob" },
TypeFromYourEmbeddedAssembly.GetType().GetTypeInfo().Assembly);
