courier

deliver electronic mail with scala from the future

courier

install

Via the copy and paste method

resolvers += "softprops-maven" at "http://dl.bintray.com/content/softprops/maven"

libraryDependencies += "me.lessis" %% "courier" % "0.1.3"

Via a more civilized method which will do the same without all the manual work.

> ls-install courier

Note. If you are a bintray-sbt user you can optionally specify the resolver as

resolvers += bintray.Opts.resolver.repo("softprops", "maven")

usage

deliver electronic mail via gmail

import courier._, Defaults._
val mailer = Mailer("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
               .auth(true)
               .as("you@gmail.com", "p@$$w3rd")
               .startTtls(true)()
                     
mailer(Envelope.from("you" `@` "gmail.com")
        .to("mom" `@` "gmail.com")
        .cc("dad" `@` "gmail.com")
        .subject("miss you")
        .content(Text("hi mom"))).onSuccess {
          case _ => println("message delivered")
        }

mailer(Envelope.from("you" `@` "work.com")
         .to("boss" `@` "work.com")
         .subject("tps report")
         .content(Multipart()
           .attach(new java.io.File("tps.xls"))
           .html("<html><body><h1>IT'S IMPORTANT</h1></body></html>")))
           .onSuccess {
             case _ => println("delivered report")
           }

testing

Since courier is based on JavaMail, you can use Mock JavaMail to execute your tests. Simply add the following to your build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "org.jvnet.mock-javamail" % "mock-javamail" % "1.9" % "test"

Having this in your test dependencies will automatically enable Mock JavaMail during tests. You can then test for email sends, etc.

import courier._
import org.specs2.mutable.Specification
import scala.concurrent.duration._

// Need NoTimeConversions to prevent conflict with scala.concurrent.duration._
class MailSpec extends Specification with NoTimeConversions {
  "the mailer" should {
  	"send an email" in {
  	  val mailer = Mailer("localhost", 25)
  	  val future = mailer(Envelope.from("someone@example.com")
          	.to("mom@gmail.com")
          	.cc("dad@gmail.com")
          	.subject("miss you")
          	.content(Text("hi mom")))
          	
          Await.ready(future, 5.seconds)
          val momsInbox = Mailbox.get("mom@gmail.com")
          momsInbox.size === 1
          val momsMsg = momsInbox.get(0)
          momsMsg.getContent === "hi mom"
          momsMsg.getSubject === "miss you"
        }       	
  	}
  }
}

Here is an excellent article on using Mock JavaMail.
