# nodemailer-templation
_A Nodemailer wrapper for easily sending HTML templated emails._
I've always had problems trying to send emails via multiple HTML templates. There really wasn't anything that solved
all of my needs in a way that was easy and made sense to me. I found a code snippit some where for node 0.8x,
that didn't work, so I adapted it into this package.
### Installation
Install via __Download__,
__NPM (recommended)__
```bash
npm install --save nodemailer-templation
```
### Useage
You need an __external SMTP server__ or service to make this work. I recommend Mandrill. Its free, and fast.
Example using [mandrill](mandrillapp.com) as our SMTP service.
```js
var Templation = require('nodemailer-templation');
var path = require('path');
//Create our new new mailer object
var Mailer = new Templation({
from: 'hello@example.com',
templates: {
reply: path.resolve(__dirname, '../templates/reply.html')
},
attachments: [
{
filename: 'logoLite.png',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../templates/images/logoLite.png'),
cid: 'light@logo'
},
{
filename: 'logoDark.png',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../templates/images/logoDark.png'),
cid: 'dark@logo'
}
],
transportOptions: {
host: 'smtp.mandrillapp.com',
port: 587,
auth: {
user: 'SomeUserName',
pass: 'SomeUserNameAPIKEY'
}
}
});
//Send a mail using a template you've created, and listed under the templates option above.
Mailer.send({
to: 'acoolguy@google.com',
subject: 'Hello World',
template: 'reply',
messageData: {
title: 'Hello Dude',
name: 'Woah',
message: 'Far Out'
}
});
//Send a mail using the default template
Mailer.send({
to: 'a2coolguy@google.com',
subject: 'Hello World',
messageData: {
title: 'Hello Dude',
name: 'Woah',
message: 'Far Out',
copymark: '(c) TooCool LLC 1995'
}
});
```
### Templation Options
There are the options you can send in when you create your new Templation object.
__attachments__ _(array) of objects_
```js
var attachments = [
{
filename: 'logoLite.png',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../templates/images/logoLite.png'),
cid: 'light@logo' //used in your template when you send emails.
}
];
/* Example including above logo attachment
![My Company LLC.]()
*/
```
__templates__ _list of objects_
```js
var templates = {
//name: "path"
reply: path.resolve(__dirname, '../templates/reply.html'),

};
```
