📧Emails
Open up email.ex
and you will see a list of functions that generate Swoosh email structs. Eg:
If I run this function in IEX I can see the Swoosh struct:
An Swoosh.Email
struct can be delivered to an email address by a Swoosh mailer (see mailer.ex
). Eg:
So email.ex
creates the Swoosh structs and the functions for actually delivering emails like the previous code example are in user_notifier.ex
. Think of email.ex
functions like view templates, and user_notifer.ex
functions like controller actions.
So the steps to creating a new email will be:
Create the function to generate a Swoosh struct in
email.ex
Ensure it looks good by navigating to "http://localhost:4000/dev/emails" and creating a new action in
email_testing_controller.ex
that simply renders the html_body value of the structCreate a new
user_notifier.ex
function for use in our application
