gopostal

Simple email library for creating and sending smtp mail - plain text, html, cc/bcc recipients and attachments are supported.

Default configurations for Gmail and Sendgrid are supported.

Installation

Install via the go get tool:

go get github.com/pcrawfor/gopostal

Usage

Quick use:

Sending basic mail via Gmail:

import (
  "github.com/pcrawfor/gopostal"
  "log"
)

// Send mail via Gmail with both and text and html content    
m := gopostal.NewGmailMailer("some_user", "some_pass")

subject := "Hi there!"
content := "Hi Paul, This is email sent from go code how are you today?"
html_content := "<h2>Hi Paul,</h2> <p>This is email sent from go code how are you today?</p>"

err := m.SendMail("some_to@test.com", "some_from@othertest.com", subject, content, html_content)
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

Sending basic email via any service:

import (
  "github.com/pcrawfor/gopostal"
  "log"
)

// Similarly you can configure the mail service info:
// using: NewMailer(identity, username, password, host, port string)
m := gopostal.NewMailer("", "some_user", "some_password", "smtp.sendgrid.net", "25")

subject := "Hi there!"
content := "Hi Paul, This is email sent from go code how are you today?"
html_content := "<h2>Hi Paul,</h2> <p>This is email sent from go code how are you today?</p>"

err := m.SendMail("some_to@test.com", "some_from@othertest.com", subject, content, html_content)    

if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

Building messages and sending them

Building a more complicated message and sending it:

// Create a mailer and a message with more recipients/info
m := gopostal.NewMailer("", "some_user", "some_password", "smtp.sendgrid.net", "25")

subject := "Hi there!"
content := "Hi Paul, This is email sent from go code how are you today?"
html_content := "<h2>Hi Paul,</h2> <p>This is email sent from go code how are you today?</p>"

// build the message
msg := m.NewMessage("some_to@test.com", "some_from@othertest.com", subject, content, html_content)
msg.AddTo("other_recipient@test.com")
msg.AddCc("somecc@test.com")
msg.AddBcc("somebcc@test.com")

// send the message
err := m.Send(msg)
if err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

Adding attachments

In Progress.
