Mailopen

Mailopen is a buffalo mailer that allows to see sent emails in the browser instead of sending these using SMTP or other sender used in production environments.

Usage

Mailopen is only intended for development purposes, the way you use it is by simply initialyzing your mailer to be a mailopen instance instead of your regular sender, p.e:

import (
    ...
    "github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/mail"
    sendgrid "github.com/paganotoni/sendgrid-sender"
    ...
)

//Sender allows us to send emails
var Sender mail.Sender

func init() {
    sgSender := sendgrid.NewSendgridSender(envy.Get("SENDGRID_API_KEY", ""))
    Sender = mailopen.Wrap(sgSender)
}

Internally Wrap function returns mailopen.FileSender instance only if GO_ENV is development, otherwise it will return passed sender.

You can always write it yourself in case your conditions to switch sender are not only to be in the development environment.

import (
    ...
    "github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/mail"
    sendgrid "github.com/paganotoni/sendgrid-sender"
    ...
)

func init() {
    if envy.Get("GO_ENV", "development") == "development" {
        Sender = mailopen.WithOptions(mailopen.Only("text/html"))
        
		return
    }

    Sender = sendgrid.NewSendgridSender(envy.Get("SENDGRID_API_KEY", ""))
}

Then you will use your Sender instance as usual by calling Sender.Send(m) with the variant that in development it will open your emails in the browser.
