TurMail - Mail templating for transactional email

How to install

npm install turmail

How to use

var mail = require("turmail");
mail.init({
    domain:"your.domain.com",
    key:"your mailgun key",
    path:"./templates" //path to templates folder
});
 
mail.send("RestorePassword", { to:"some@gmail.com" });
//or
mail.send("RestorePassword", { 
  to:"some@gmail.com",
  subject:"My email",
  from:"best.support@gmail.com",
  name:"Mike",
  link:"http://some.com/restore/2323221as"
});

Templates

There are two kinds of templates

  • envelopes - HTML makets for emails
  • letter - yaml config objects for emails

When you are sending email, the script will locate YAML configuration file in emails folder. From YAML file, it will take envelope property and will read the related envelope file. After that script will fill the envelope template with parameters from the YAML file and parameters from the send command.

Example

When you call

mail.send("RestorePassword", { 
    to:"some@gmail.com ",
 
    //data to fill the template
    project:"Cool Project",
    name:"Maksim",
    password:"some"
})

script will read templates/letters/RestorePassword.yaml file.

from: some@ya.ru
envelope: NiceLetter
subject: Restore password for {{project}}
body: Hi {{name}}. Here is your new key {{key}}

After that, it will read templates/envelopes/NiceLetter.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    {{{body}}}
</body>
</html>

Now, the script will fill all placeholder in NiceLetter.html with parameters from RestorePassword.yaml, and will fill the result template with data from the second parameter of the send command. And as a final step, email to a recipient will be sent.

If second parameter of the send command doesn't contain from and subject keys, those fields will be taken from the YAML file.
