SugarPost
=========

[](#sugarpost)

PHP port of [charmbracelet/pop](https://github.com/charmbracelet/pop) — send emails from PHP via Resend API or direct SMTP.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Dual transport** — send via Resend HTTP API or raw SMTP
- **Email value object** — from, to, cc, bcc, subject, body, HTML body, reply-to, attachments
- **File attachments** — attach files from paths or raw content with MIME detection
- **Inline attachments** — embed images inline (CID references)
- **CC/BCC support** — full carbon-copy / blind carbon-copy routing
- **STDIN compose** — read email body from STDIN for shell pipeline use
- **Environment config** — `RESEND_API_KEY`, `POP_SMTP_*`, `POP_FROM`, `POP_SIGNATURE`
- **PHP 8.1+** — pure PHP, no extensions required beyond cURL (for Resend transport)

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require sugarcraft/sugar-post
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

### Resend API

[](#resend-api)

```
use SugarCraft\Post\{Email, Mailer, ResendTransport};

$transport = new ResendTransport('re_xxxxxxxxxxxxx');
$mailer = new Mailer($transport);

$email = new Email(
    from:    'you@example.com',
    to:      ['them@example.com'],
    subject: 'Hello from SugarPost',
    body:    'Sent via the Resend API.',
);

$mailer->send($email);
```

### SMTP

[](#smtp)

```
use SugarCraft\Post\{Email, Mailer, SmtpTransport};

$transport = new SmtpTransport('smtp.gmail.com', 587, 'username', 'password');
$mailer = new Mailer($transport);

$mailer->send(new Email(
    from:    'you@gmail.com',
    to:      ['them@gmail.com'],
    subject: 'Hello via SMTP',
    body:    'Sent directly via SMTP.',
));
```

### Attachment

[](#attachment)

```
$email = new Email(/* ... */);
$email = $email->withAttachment('invoice.pdf', '/path/to/invoice.pdf');
$mailer->send($email);
```

> **Note:** `--attach` / `withAttachment()` read arbitrary local paths. The caller is responsible for validating that passed paths are trusted. No path allow-list is enforced by design, matching upstream behavior.

CLI
---

[](#cli)

```
pop --from "me@example.com" --to "you@example.com" --subject "Hello"
# Body read from STDIN
```

Environment variables:

```
export RESEND_API_KEY=re_xxxxx                # Resend API key
export POP_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com           # SMTP host
export POP_SMTP_PORT=587                      # SMTP port (default: 587)
export POP_SMTP_USERNAME=user                 # SMTP username
export POP_SMTP_PASSWORD=pass                 # SMTP password
export POP_FROM=me@example.com                # Pre-fill From address
export POP_SIGNATURE="Sent with SugarPost"    # Appended to body
```

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)

- `Email` — immutable email message value object
- `Attachment` — immutable file attachment (path or inline content)
- `Transport` — interface for sending implementations
- `ResendTransport` — sends via Resend REST API (HTTPS)
- `SmtpTransport` — sends via direct SMTP (TCP/TLS)
- `Mailer` — high-level API wrapping a Transport

Shared foundations
------------------

[](#shared-foundations)

sugar-post uses [candy-async](https://github.com/detain/sugarcraft/tree/master/candy-async) for best-effort cancellation on SMTP sends via `CancellationToken` (pre-write `isCancelled()` check + `onCancel` callback).
