Emails are pretty dangerous - inspect your mailer templates from the safety of your browser.
Install
Add to your Gemfile
:
gem "letter_bomb", group: :development
and bundle
away.
Usage
Mount the engine in your routes.rb
:
if Rails.env.development?
mount LetterBomb::Engine, at: "/letter_bomb"
end
and hit /letter_bomb
for a list of previews.
Previews can be defined anywhere within app/mailers
suffixed with preview
,
i.e. app/mailers/user_mailer_preview.rb
.
Preview method names are arbitrary so long as they return a Mail
object.
class UserMailerPreview < LetterBomb::Preview
def welcome
WelcomeMailer.for_user(User.last)
end
end
Preview methods are wrapped in an ActiveRecord transaction block that will be rolled back after execution, so it's safe to create your own test data within them.

Alternatives
Rails 4 introduced ActionMailer::Preview
, which should be preferred if available.
