Module for composing e-mails from templates and sending them

E-mail module for Zend Framework 2

Introduction

MtMail handles common activities surrounding sending e-mail from applications, mainly creating messages from templates, and sending them through transport adapters.

Features:

• factory for creating e-mail messages
• factory for e-mail transport adapters, service for one-line dispatch
• rendering templates from phtml files, using Zend\View and PhpRenderer
• rendering templates with layouts
• plugins for various common tasks: from setting default headers to generating plaintext version of HTML message
• plugin support via dedicated plugin managers

Installation

Installation is supported via Composer:

$ composer require mtymek/mt-mail

Creating e-mails

Configuration

By default MtMail doesn't require any extra configuration. It will use Zend\View to render templates accessible by your application.

Usage

Creating message from controller:

$mailService = $this->getServiceLocator()->get(\MtMail\Service\Mail::class);

$headers = [
    'to' => 'johndoe@domain.com',
    'from' => 'contact@mywebsite.com',
];
$variables = [
    'userName' => 'John Doe',
];
$message = $mailService->compose($headers, 'application/mail/welcome.phtml', $variables);

This snippet will create a message, compose it with $headers and HTML body rendered from welcome.phtml template (injected with $variables array).

Layouts

In order to give your e-mails common layout, you have to enable "Layout" plugin and tell it where to look for layout template:

return [
    'mt_mail' => [
        'composer_plugins' => [
            'Layout',
        ],
        'layout' => 'application/mail/layout.phtml',
    ],
];

For more info about composing e-mail messages, check [the documentation](doc/Composing messages.md). You can also check [documentation for plugins](doc/Composer Plugins.md).

Sending e-mails

Configuration

Update your application config:

return [
    'mt_mail' => [
        'transport' => \Zend\Mail\Transport\Smtp::class,
        'transport_options' => [
            'host' => 'some-host.com',
            'connection_class' => 'login',
            'connection_config' => [
                'username' => 'user',
                'password' => 'pass',
                'ssl' => 'tls',
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

Usage

---

Add following code to your controller:

// create and configure message
$message = new Message();
$message->addTo('johndoe@domain.com');
// ...

// send!
$mailService = $this->getServiceLocator()->get(\MtMail\Service\Mail::class);
$mailService->send($message);
