Macaco

Build Status

Tiny wrapper around Sendgrid and Mandrill API's send methods.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'macaco'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install macaco

Usage

You can configure Macaco to use your API key by passing a block to the configure method. Here I've used one for Sendgrid:

Macaco.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = ENV['SENDGRID_API_KEY']
end

First create a new mail object:

mail = Macaco::Sendgrid.new do
  to [{ email: 'to@test.com', name: 'Persons Name'}, 'person@email.com']
  from 'from@test.com'
  subject 'This is my subject'
  body_html '<h1>This is a title</h1>'
  body_text 'This is my text version'
end

In this case we're using Sendgrid - Macaco::Sendgrid. You can also use Macaco::Mandrill for Mandrill

Then call the send method:

mail.send

To and From names

As you can see in the example above, you can either use a simple email address or provide a name attribute in order to pass this information along to the mailer service.

Additional methods

Each Macaco::Sender also has a .to_curl method. This allows you to get a runnable curl command from a particular Macaco::Sender instance. For example, running .to_curl on the above example gives:

mail.to_curl
# => "curl -X POST https://api.sendgrid.com/api/mail.send.json -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' -d 'from=from%40test.com&fromname&to=to%40test.com&to=person%40email.com&toname=Persons+Name&toname=+&subject=This+is+my+subject&html=%3Ch1%3EThis+is+a+title%3C%2Fh1%3E&text=This+is+my+text+version'"

Todo

  • Add further reflection methods to be able to inspect the mail object
  • Add support for other API's send methods
