Sendgrid plugin for CakePHP
===========================

[](#sendgrid-plugin-for-cakephp)

details on installation tbd

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

[](#installation)

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using [composer](http://getcomposer.org).

The recommended way to install composer packages is:

```
composer require madalinignisca/sendgrid

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Method 1 (modern, using ENV)

[](#method-1-modern-using-env)

Add to **config/bootstrap.php** above

```
Email::configTransport(Configure::consume('EmailTransport'));

```

the following line

```
Plugin::load('MadalinIgnisca/Sendgrid', ['bootstrap' => true]);

```

The plugin loads from dotenv the following: `SENDGRID_USERNAME``SENDGRID_PASSWORD`or `SENGRID_API`

### Method 2 (classic, hardcoded credentials)

[](#method-2-classic-hardcoded-credentials)

Add in your **app.php** file, in the **EmailTransport** item

```
'EmailTransport' => [
        ...
        'sendgrid' => [
            'className' => '\MadalinIgnisca\Sendgrid\Mailer\Transport\SendgridTransport',
            'username' => 'your_username_or_api_key',
            'password' => 'your_password_or_null_if_api_key,
        ]
        ...
    ],

```

Make sure if using V4 of Sendgrid, you set the API key as username (will alter code to also support config as 'apikey') for now.

To use it by default, set your default transport to `sendgrid` in the Email config.
