Templated emailer
=================

[](#templated-emailer)

This library simply ties together Symfony's powerful templating engine with the flexibility of Swiftmailer, allowing you to send templated emails easily.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

### Without DI

[](#without-di)

If you're not using DI (or don't know what DI is) there is a helpful factory to create the mailer:

```
$emailer = \Silktide\TemplatedEmailer\TemplatedEmailerFactory::create('/path/to/templates');

```

The only required argument is the path to the folder containing your email templates (see Creating a template below).

By default, the factory will set up the class to use PHP's mail() function to send your mail and Symfony's PhpEngine for templating. You can optionally provide a [Swiftmailer transport class](http://swiftmailer.org/docs/sending.html) as the second argument if you want to use a different transport, e.g. SMTP. Here's an example of using an alternative transport:

```
$transport = \Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.example.org', 25)
            ->setUsername('your username')
            ->setPassword('your password');
$emailer =  \Silktide\TemplatedEmailer\TemplatedEmailerFactory::create('/example', $transport);

```

### Dependency injection / manual instantiation

[](#dependency-injection--manual-instantiation)

The TemplatedEmailer class just requires two arguments, a Symfony template engine and an instance of Swift\_Mailer:

```
/**
* @var \Symfony\Component\Templating\EngineInterface
*/
$templateEngine;

/**
* @var \Swift_Mailer
*/
$emailClient;

$emailer = new \Silktide\TemplatedEmailer\TemplatedEmailer($templateEngine, $emailClient);

```

Creating a template
-------------------

[](#creating-a-template)

Templates are using [Symfony's well documented template library](http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/templating/introduction.html). Here's a very basic example:

```
An email from myApp
Dear

```

The variables in the message are passed through as an array to the send() method (see usage below).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Before any emails can be sent, you must set a sender:

```
$emailer->setSender('pat@postman.com', 'Postman Pat');

```

Sending an email now just requires a recipient, subject, template filename and context:

```
$this->mailer->send(
    'mrsgoggins@greendalepo.com',
    'Jess the black and white cat',
    'anEmail.php',
    [
        'recipientName' => 'Mrs Goggins',
        'message' => 'Hello!'
    ]
);

```

The recipient can also have a name set by using an array in the format \['' => 'Friendly Name'\]:

```
$this->mailer->send(
    ['mrsgoggins@greendalepo.com' => 'Mrs Goggins'],
    'Jess the black and white cat',
    'anEmail.php',
    [
        'recipientName' => 'Mrs Goggins',
        'message' => 'Hello!'
    ]
);

```
