Email plugin provides generalized functionality to compose and send both text and MIME-compliant multi-part e-mail messages.

This package is compliant with PSR-2 code standards and PSR-4 autoload standards. It also applies the semantic version 2.0.0 specification.

**Features**

- Easy mail transport creation (SMTP, PHP mail())
- Uses [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/) for a robust template engine
- Multi-Part e-mail messages

**Installation**

To use E-Mail plugin in your project just run the following command:

```
$ composer require slick/mail

```

**Quick Start**

Create a message:

```
use Slick\Mail\Message;
use Slick\Mail\MessageBody;

$message = new Message();
$message->setFrom('some@from.address', 'Slick Mail')
    ->addTo('you@example.com')
    ->setSubject('Log message');

$body = new MessageBody(
    'mail/template.twig',
    ['foo' => $foo, 'bar' => 'baz']
);
$message->setBody($body);
```

If you need to send a multi-part e-mail with text and HTML or embedding images in it for example, you can do like this:

```
use Slick\Mail\Mime;
use Slick\Mail\Mime\MimeMessage;
use Slick\Mail\Mime\Part as MimePart;

$text = new MimePart('mail/template.twig', ['foo' => $foo, 'bar' => 'baz']);
$text->type = "text/plain";

$image = new MimePart('image.jpg');
$image->type = "image/jpeg";
$image->id = "image";
$image->encoding = Mime::ENCODING_BASE64;

$html = new MimePart('mail/template.html.twig', ['foo' => $foo, 'bar' => 'baz']);
$html->type = "text/html";

$message = new MimeMessage();
$message->parts()
    ->add($text)
    ->add($image)
    ->add($html)
;
```

As you can see it very easy to compose an e-mail message. Now you need to send it! Lets see:

```
use Slick\Mail\Transport\SmtpTransport;

$transport = new SmtpTransport([
    'options' => [
        'name' => 'localhost.localdomain',
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'port' => 25,
    ]
]);

$transport->send($message);
```

> For a complete documentation on the SMTP transport object and options, as this is an extension to the Zend\\Mail\\Transport\\Smtp class, you can go to the [Zend/Mail/transport manual](http://framework.zend.com/manual/current/en/modules/zend.mail.transport.html) website.
