Allows adaptation and abstraction of mailing APIs. The goal of this project is to unify different Mailer APIs into a unified Send function. In otherwords, this Mailer allows to only have to change the Mailer instantion if a different API needs to be used, without needing to change the Send Messages calls.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via composer into your project:

```
composer require anekdotes/mailer

```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

You can either use the Mailer abstraction class to simplify adapter handling

```
use Anekdotes\Mailer\Mailer;
use Anekdotes\Mailer\Adapters\SendgridAdapter;
use Sendgrid\Sendgrid;

$mailer = new Mailer(new SendgridAdapter(new SendGrid('sendgridapikey')));
$mailer->send('My HTML message',function($message){
    $message->from('me@you.com','Me')
        ->to('you@me.com','You')
        ->subject('This is a message');
});
```

Or directly use an adapter

```
use Anekdotes\Mailer\Adapters\SendgridAdapter;

$sendgrid = new SendgridAdapter(new SendGrid('sendgridapikey'));

$sendgrid->send('My HTML message',function($message){
    $message->from('me@you.com','Me')
        ->to('you@me.com','You')
        ->subject('This is a message');
});
```
