This plugin was inspired by the Rails 4.1 feature, Action Mailer Previews, as well as the 37signals `mail_view` gem. Alternatives to this plugin include any of the following: - [CatchMe](https://github.com/Pentiado/catch-me): A nodejs app to catch, display and validate emails - [MailCatcher](https://mailcatcher.me/): A super simple SMTP server which catches any message sent to it to display in a web interface. - [MailHog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog): A Web and API based SMTP testing service. - [MailTrap](https://mailtrap.io/): An email testing service This plugin is *specifically* meant to bring Rapid Application Development to email development by enabling developers to simply update a template and reload the browser. Developers are encouraged to use other tools as their needs change. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - CakePHP 3.x - PHP 5.5+ Features -------- [](#features) - preview HTML or plain text emails from within your web browser - emails are reloaded with each view so you can tweak/save/refresh for instant verification - integrates perfectly with existing test fixtures - only exposes routes in development mode to prevent leaking into production mode Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) For documentation, please see [the docs](http://cakephp-mail-preview.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).
