How to send emails with Phoenix framework

Question

What is the best and most convinient way to send emails using Phoenix framework?

Answer 1

The best way I've found is to use the mailman package. For sending test emails I was using my gmail account using the following config for mailman ->

def config do
  %Mailman.Context{
   config: %Mailman.SmtpConfig{ relay: "smtp.gmail.com",                 
                                port: 587,
                                username: "[email protected]",
                                password: "mypassword",
                                tls: :always },                                            
   composer: %Mailman.EexComposeConfig{}
  }
end

and for the email content I was using the following:

def testing_email do
    %Mailman.Email{
      subject: "Hello Mailman!",
      from: "[email protected]",
      to: ["[email protected]"],          
      text: "Hello Mate",
      html: Phoenix.View.render_to_string(MyApp.PageView,"index.html", foo: "bar")
      }
end

and then you just do ->

1) email = MyApp.Mailer.deliver testing_email

2) Task.await(email)
