usage

instanciate the class with the path to email templates folder. Then you can use the produceMail method with parameters to output a promise with the email as a string. You can render several email templates as long as they share the same default layout.

const InkyMailOutput = require('inky-email-render-to-string');
 
// create instance with relative root path to template assets folder
let instance = new InkyMailOutput('email-template');
 
// provide mail (template, conf, data) --> return processed email as promise
let templateName = 'basic';
 
// respective folders (see Inky/Panini Docs) + mail subject
let emailConfig = {
    root: 'pages',
    layouts: 'layouts',
    partials: 'partials',
    helpers: 'helpers',
    css: 'css/app.css',
    subject: 'My Basic Email Template Subject'
};
 
// all data to populate the email template
let emailData = {
    title: 'Hi, Susan Calvin',
    content: {
        lead: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Magni, iste, amet consequatur a veniam.',

    }
};
 
// render email and rceive promise based email string
instance.produceMail(templateName, emailConfig, emailData).then(
    function(resp) { 
        console.log('successful email render', resp); 
    },
    function(error) { console.log(error); }
);
