Deprecated!! New project here: express-email

Render email by node-email-templates and show in web browser.

Usage

var preview = require('express-mail-preview');

if (app.get('env') === 'development') {
  var opts = {
    path: path_to_mail_dir, # for more, see node-email-templates
    locals: {billing_id: 123, user: 'tony'...}, # locals for render template
    cid: where_to_find_cid
  };
  app.get('/_mail/billing.html', preview(opts));    # preview html
  app.get('/_mail/billing.txt', preview(opts));     # preview text
