actionmailer-html2text
automatically adds plain text parts to HTML emails sent by ActionMailer, using html2text, and inspired by this blog post.
For example:
<html>
<title>Ignored Title</title>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is some e-mail content.
Even though it has whitespace and newlines, the e-mail converter
will handle it correctly.
<p>Even mismatched tags.</p>
<div>A div</div>
<div>Another div</div>
<div>A div<div>within a div</div></div>
<a href="http://foo.com">A link</a>
</body>
</html>
Will be converted into:
Hello, World!
This is some e-mail content. Even though it has whitespace and newlines, the e-mail converter will handle it correctly.
Even mismatched tags.
A div
Another div
A div
within a div
[A link](http://foo.com)
Notes
-
Any existing
text/plain
parts will not be overwritten, so you can still create custom text parts withtemplate.text.erb
andtemplate.html.erb
-
Any HTML email emails processed will become multipart in order to add the
text/plain
part. -
Issues and pull requests welcome!
Installing
Add the gem into your Gemfile and run bundle install
:
gem 'actionmailer-html2text'
You can now enable automatic text parts on just a single mailer:
class WelcomeMailer < ApplicationMailer
include ActionMailer::Html2Text # Just add this
def welcome_email(to)
mail(to: to, subject: "Subject")
end
end
Or you can add it to all of your mailers:
class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
include ActionMailer::Html2Text # Just add this
default from: "from@example.com"
layout 'mailer'
end
Tests
bundle install
rspec
