# Strapi Email Designer plugin 💅
Design your own email templates directly from the [Strapi CMS](https://github.com/strapi/strapi) admin panel and use the magic to send programmatically email from your controllers / services.
_Visual composer provided by [Unlayer](https://unlayer.com/)_
## ⚙️ Versions
- **Strapi v4** - (current) - [v2.x](https://github.com/alexzaganelli/strapi-plugin-email-designer)
- **Strapi v3** - [v1.x](https://github.com/alexzaganelli/strapi-plugin-email-designer/tree/strapi-v3)
## ⏳ Installation
Install Strapi with this **Quickstart** command to create a Strapi project instantly:
- (Use **yarn** to install the Strapi project (recommended). [Install yarn with these docs](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/).)
```bash
# with yarn
yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart
# with npm/npx
npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart
```
_This command generates a brand new project with the default features (authentication, permissions, content management, content type builder & file upload). The **Quickstart** command installs Strapi using a **SQLite** database which is used for prototyping in development._
- Configure the `Strapi email` plugin ( [official documentation](https://strapi.io/documentation/developer-docs/latest/plugins/email.html#configure-the-plugin) )
- Add the `strapi-designer` plugin
```bash
yarn add strapi-plugin-email-designer@latest
# or
npm i -S strapi-plugin-email-designer@latest
```
- you may need also to add to the unlayer domain to the _Content Security Policy_. Update the config file `config/middlewares.js` as:
```diff
// ...
- "strapi::security",
+ {
+ name: "strapi::security",
+ config: {
+ contentSecurityPolicy: {
+ directives: {
+ "script-src": ["'self'", "editor.unlayer.com"],
+ "frame-src": ["'self'", "editor.unlayer.com"],
+ "img-src": [
+ "'self'",
+ "data:",
+ "cdn.jsdelivr.net",
+ "strapi.io",
+ "s3.amazonaws.com",
+ ],
+ },
+ },
+ },
+ },
// ...
```
- After successful installation you've to build a fresh package that includes plugin UI. To archive that simply use:
```bash
yarn build && yarn develop
# or
npm run build && npm run develop
```
- or just run Strapi in the development mode with `--watch-admin` option:
```bash
yarn develop --watch-admin
#or
npm run develop --watch-admin
```
The **Email Designer** plugin should appear in the **Plugins** section of Strapi sidebar after you run app again.
## 💄 Usage
1. Design your template with easy on the visual composer. For variables use [{{mustache}} templating language](https://github.com/janl/mustache.js) with the double curly braces tags ( `{{` and `}}` ). **You can leave the text version blank to automatically generate a text version of your email from the HTML version.**
Tips: in the template's body is possible to iterate array like this:
```text
{{#order.products}}
{{/order.products}}
```
2. Send email programmatically:
```javascript
{
// ...
try {
await strapi
.plugin('email-designer')
.service('email')
.sendTemplatedEmail(
{
// required
to: '[email protected]',
// optional if /config/plugins.js -> email.settings.defaultFrom is set
from: '[email protected]',
// optional if /config/plugins.js -> email.settings.defaultReplyTo is set
replyTo: '[email protected]',
// optional array of files
attachments: [],
},
{
// required - Ref ID defined in the template designer (won't change on import)
templateReferenceId: 9,
// If provided here will override the template's subject.
// Can include variables like `Thank you for your order {{= USER.firstName }}!`
subject: `Thank you for your order`,
},
{
// this object must include all variables you're using in your email template
USER: {
firstname: 'John',
lastname: 'Doe',
},
order: {
products: [
{ name: 'Article 1', price: 9.99 },
{ name: 'Article 2', price: 5.55 },
],
},
shippingCost: 5,
total: 20.54,
}
);
} catch (err) {
strapi.log.debug('📺: ', err);
return ctx.badRequest(null, err);
}
// ...
}
```
**Enjoy 🎉**
## 🖐 Requirements

## 🔧 Configuration
You can pass configuration options directly to the editor that is used by this plugin. To do so, in your `config/plugins.js` file of your project, configure the plugin like this example:
```javascript
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
// ...
'email-designer': {
enabled: true,
// ⬇︎ Add the config property
config: {
editor: {
// optional - if you have a premium unlayer account
projectId: [UNLAYER_PROJECT_ID],
tools: {
heading: {
properties: {
text: {
value: 'This is the new default text!',
},
},
},
},
options: {
features: {
colorPicker: {
presets: ['#D9E3F0', '#F47373', '#697689', '#37D67A'],
},
},
fonts: {
showDefaultFonts: false,
/*
* If you want use a custom font you need a premium unlayer account and pass a projectId number :-(
*/
customFonts: [
{
label: 'Anton',
value: "'Anton', sans-serif",
url: 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Anton',
},
{
label: 'Lato',
value: "'Lato', Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif",
url: 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato',
},
// ...
],
},
mergeTags: [
{
name: 'Email',
value: '{{ USER.username }}',
sample: '[email protected]',
},
// ...
],
},
appearance: {
theme: 'dark',
panels: {
tools: {
dock: 'left',
},
},
},
},
},
},
// ...
});
```
See [Unlayer's documentation](https://docs.unlayer.com) for more options.
## 🚨 How to run the tests
Create the `cypress.env.json` file to the root and add your variables following this schema:
```json
{
"adminUrl": "http://localhost:1337/admin/auth/login",
"user": {
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "P1pp0#2021"
}
}
```
Now let's install and open Cypress
```bash
# with yarn
yarn cypress:install
yarn cypress:open
# with npm
npm run cypress:install
npm run cypress:open
```
