NAME
Dancer::Plugin::Email - Simple email sending for Dancer applications
VERSION
version 1.0100
SYNOPSIS
use Dancer;
use Dancer::Plugin::Email;
post '/contact' => sub {
email {
from => '
[email protected]',
to => '
[email protected]',
subject => 'allo',
body => 'Dear Sue, ...',
attach => '/path/to/attachment',
};
};
DESCRIPTION
This plugin tries to make sending emails from Dancer applications as
simple as possible. It uses Email::Sender under the hood. In a lot of
cases, no configuration is required. For example, if your app is hosted
on a unix-like server with sendmail installed, calling "email()" will
just do the right thing.
IMPORTANT: Version 1.x of this module is not backwards compatible with
the 0.x versions. This module was originally built on Email::Stuff which
was built on Email::Send which has been deprecated in favor of
Email::Sender. Versions 1.x and on have be refactored to use
Email::Sender. I have tried to keep the interface the same as much as
possible. The main difference is the configuration. If there are
features missing that you were using in older versions, then please let
me know by creating an issue on github
<
https://github.com/ironcamel/Dancer-Plugin-Email>.
FUNCTIONS
This module by default exports the single function "email".
email
This function sends an email. It takes a single argument, a hashref of
parameters. Default values for the parameters may be provided in the
headers section of the "CONFIGURATION". Paramaters provided to this
function will override the corresponding configuration values if there
is any overlap. An exception is thrown if sending the email fails, so
wrapping calls to "email" with try/catch is recommended.
use Dancer;
use Dancer::Plugin::Email;
use Try::Tiny;
post '/contact' => sub {
try {
email {
from => '
[email protected]',
to => '
[email protected],
[email protected]',
subject => 'allo',
body => 'Dear Sue, ...<img src="cid:blabla">',
attach => [
'/path/to/attachment1',
'/path/to/attachment2',
{
Path => "/path/to/attachment3",
# Path is required when passing a hashref.
# See Mime::Entity for other optional values.
Id => "blabla",
}
],
type => 'html', # can be 'html' or 'plain'
# Optional extra headers
headers => {
"X-Mailer" => 'This fine Dancer application',
"X-Accept-Language" => 'en',
}
};
} catch {
error "Could not send email: $_";
};
};
CONFIGURATION
No configuration is necessarily required. Email::Sender::Simple tries to
make a good guess about how to send the message. It will usually try to
use the sendmail program on unix-like systems and SMTP on Windows.
However, you may explicitly configure a transport in your configuration.
Only one transport may be configured. For documentation for the
parameters of the transport, see the corresponding
Email::Sender::Transport::* module. For example, the parameters
available for the SMTP transport are documented here "ATTRIBUTES" in
Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP.
You may also provide default headers in the configuration:
plugins:
Email:
# Set default headers (OPTIONAL)
headers:
from: '
[email protected]'
subject: 'default subject'
X-Mailer: 'MyDancer 1.0'
X-Accept-Language: 'en'
# Explicity set a transport (OPTIONAL)
transport:
Sendmail:
sendmail: '/usr/sbin/sendmail'
Example configuration for sending mail via Gmail:
plugins:
Email:
transport:
SMTP:
ssl: 1
host: 'smtp.gmail.com'
port: 465
sasl_username: '
[email protected]'
sasl_password: 'secret'
Use the Sendmail transport using the sendmail program in the system
path:
plugins:
Email:
transport:
Sendmail:
Use the Sendmail transport with an explicit path to the sendmail
program:
plugins:
Email:
transport:
Sendmail:
sendmail: '/usr/sbin/sendmail'
