NAME

   Dancer2::Plugin::Email - Simple email sending for Dancer2 applications

VERSION

   version 0.0001

SYNOPSIS

       use Dancer2;
       use Dancer2::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 Dancer2 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/Dancer2-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 Dancer2;
       use Dancer2::Plugin::Email;
       use Try::Tiny;

       post '/contact' => sub {
           try {
               email {
                   sender  => '[email protected]', # optional
                   from    => '[email protected]',
                   to      => '[email protected], [email protected]',
                   subject => 'allo',
                   body    => 'Dear Sue, ...<img src="cid:blabla">',
                   multipart => 'related', # optional, see below
                   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 Dancer2 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:
             sender: '[email protected]'
             from: '[email protected]'
             subject: 'default subject'
             X-Mailer: 'MyDancer2 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'

Multipart messages

   You can embed images in HTML messages this way: first, set the type to
   html. Then pass the attachments as hashrefs, setting Path and Id. In
   the HTML body, refer to the attachment using the Id, prepending cid: in
   the src attribute. This works for popular webmail clients like Gmail
   and OE, but is not enough for Thunderbird, which wants a
   multipart/related mail, not the default multipart/mixed. You can fix
   this adding the multipart parameter set to related, which set the
   desired subtype when you pass attachments.

   Example:

       email {
           from      => $from,
           to        => $to,
           subject   => $subject,
           body      => q{<p>Image embedded: <img src="cid:mycid"/></p>},
           type      => 'html',
           attach    => [ { Id => 'mycid', Path => '/path/to/file' }],
           multipart => 'related'
       };
