18Catalyst::View::Email::Template - Send Templated Email from Catalyst
19
20=head1 SYNOPSIS
21
ea115f9b 22Sends Templated mail, based upon your default view. It captures the output
529915ab 23of the rendering path, slurps in based on mime-types and assembles a multi-part
ea115f9b 24email using Email::MIME::Creator and sends it out.
529915ab 25
ea115f9b 26=head1 CONFIGURATION
27
28Use the helper to create your View:
29
30 $ script/myapp_create.pl view Email::Template Email::Template
31
32In your app configuration (example in L<YAML>):
529915ab 33
34 View::Email::Template:
529915ab 35 # Optional prefix to look somewhere under the existing configured
ea115f9b 36 # template paths.
37 # Default: none
529915ab 38 template_prefix: email
06afcdbc 39 # Where to look in the stash for the email information.
ea115f9b 40 # Default: email
529915ab 41 stash_key: email
06afcdbc 42 # Define the defaults for the mail
43 default:
ea115f9b 44 # Defines the default content type (mime type).
45 # Mandatory
06afcdbc 46 content_type: text/html
47 # Defines the default charset for every MIME part with the content
ea115f9b 48 # type text.
49 # According to RFC2049 a MIME part without a charset should
06afcdbc 50 # be treated as US-ASCII by the mail client.
51 # If the charset is not set it won't be set for all MIME parts
52 # without an overridden one.
ea115f9b 53 # Default: none
06afcdbc 54 charset: utf-8
ea115f9b 55 # Defines the default view used to render the templates.
56 # If none is specified neither here nor in the stash
57 # Catalysts default view is used.
58 # Warning: if you don't tell Catalyst explicit which of your views should
59 # be its default one, C::V::Email::Template may choose the wrong one!
06afcdbc 60 view: TT
529915ab 61 # Setup how to send the email
ea115f9b 62 # All those options are passed directly to Email::Send,
63 # for all available options look at its docs.
529915ab 64 sender:
06afcdbc 65 mailer: SMTP
66 mailer_args:
67 Host: smtp.example.com # defaults to localhost
68 username: username
69 password: password
529915ab 70
71=head1 SENDING EMAIL
72
06afcdbc 73Sending email is just setting up your defaults, the stash key and forwarding to the view.
529915ab 74
75 $c->stash->{email} = {
76 to => 'jshirley@gmail.com',
77 from => 'no-reply@foobar.com',
78 subject => 'I am a Catalyst generated email',
06afcdbc 79 template => 'test.tt',
529915ab 80 };
81 $c->forward('View::Email::Template');
82
06afcdbc 83Alternatively if you want more control over your templates you can use the following idiom
84to override the defaults:
12c85b56 85
86 templates => [
06afcdbc 87 {
88 template => 'email/test.html.tt',
89 content_type => 'text/html',
ea115f9b 90 charset => 'utf-8',
06afcdbc 91 view => 'TT',
92 },
93 {
94 template => 'email/test.plain.mason',
95 content_type => 'text/plain',
ea115f9b 96 charset => 'utf-8',
06afcdbc 97 view => 'Mason',
98 }
12c85b56 99 ]
100
101
529915ab 102If it fails $c->error will have the error message.

107# ones Template.pm needs.

114# This view hitches into your default view and will call the render function
115# on the templates provided. This means that you have a layer of abstraction
116# and you aren't required to modify your templates based on your desired engine
117# (Template Toolkit or Mason, for example). As long as the view adequately
118# supports ->render, all things are good. Mason, and others, are not good.
119
120#
121# The path here is to check configuration for the template root, and then
122# proceed to call render on the subsequent templates and stuff each one
123# into an Email::MIME container. The mime-type will be stupidly guessed with
124# the subdir on the template.

261=head2 ATTACHMENTS
262
263There needs to be a method to support attachments. What I am thinking is
264something along these lines:
25650747 265
529915ab 266 attachments => [
267 # Set the body to a file handle object, specify content_type and
268 # the file name. (name is what it is sent at, not the file)
269 { body => $fh, name => "foo.pdf", content_type => "application/pdf" },
270 # Or, specify a filename that is added, and hey, encoding!
271 { filename => "foo.gif", name => "foo.gif", content_type => "application/pdf", encoding => "quoted-printable" },
272 # Or, just a path to a file, and do some guesswork for the content type
273 "/path/to/somefile.pdf",
274 ]
