6 Catalyst::View::Email::Template - Send Templated Email from Catalyst
7
9 Sends templated mail, based upon your default view. It captures the
10 output of the rendering path, slurps in based on mime-types and
11 assembles a multi-part email using Email::MIME::Creator and sends it
12 out.
13
15 WARNING: since version 0.10 the configuration options slightly changed!
16 Use the helper to create your view:
18 $ script/myapp_create.pl view Email::Template Email::Template
20 For basic configuration look at "CONFIGURATION" in
22 Catalyst::View::Email.
23 In your app configuration (example in YAML):
25 View::Email::Template:
27 # Optional prefix to look somewhere under the existing configured
28 # template paths.
29 # Default: none
30 template_prefix: email
31 # Define the defaults for the mail
32 default:
33 # Defines the default view used to render the templates.
34 # If none is specified neither here nor in the stash
35 # Catalysts default view is used.
36 # Warning: if you don't tell Catalyst explicit which of your views should
37 # be its default one, C::V::Email::Template may choose the wrong one!
38 view: TT
39
41 Sending email works just like for Catalyst::View::Email but by
42 specifying the template instead of the body and forwarding to your
43 Email::Template view:
44 sub controller : Private {
46 my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
47 $c->stash->{email} = {
49 to => 'jshirley@gmail.com',
50 cc => 'abraxxa@cpan.org',
51 from => 'no-reply@foobar.com',
52 subject => 'I am a Catalyst generated email',
53 template => 'test.tt',
54 content_type => 'multipart/alternative'
55 };
56 $c->forward( $c->view('Email::Template') );
58 }
59 Alternatively if you want more control over your templates you can use
61 the following idiom to override the defaults. If charset and encoding
62 given, the body become properly encoded.
63 templates => [
65 {
66 template => 'email/test.html.tt',
67 content_type => 'text/html',
68 charset => 'utf-8',
69 encoding => 'quoted-printable',
70 view => 'TT',
71 },
72 {
73 template => 'email/test.plain.mason',
74 content_type => 'text/plain',
75 charset => 'utf-8',
76 encoding => 'quoted-printable',
77 view => 'Mason',
78 }
79 ]
80
82 See "HANDLING ERRORS" in Catalyst::View::Email.
83
85 generate_part
86 Generates a MIME part to include in the email. Since the email is
87 template based every template piece is a separate part that is
88 included in the email.
89 process
91 The process method is called when the view is dispatched to. This
92 creates the multipart message and then sends the message contents
93 off to Catalyst::View::Email for processing, which in turn hands
94 off to Email::Sender::Simple.
95
97 ATTACHMENTS
98 There needs to be a method to support attachments. What I am thinking
99 is something along these lines:
100 attachments => [
102 # Set the body to a file handle object, specify content_type and
103 # the file name. (name is what it is sent at, not the file)
104 { body => $fh, name => "foo.pdf", content_type => "application/pdf" },
105 # Or, specify a filename that is added, and hey, encoding!
106 { filename => "foo.gif", name => "foo.gif", content_type => "application/pdf", encoding => "quoted-printable" },
107 # Or, just a path to a file, and do some guesswork for the content type
108 "/path/to/somefile.pdf",
109 ]
