[](#ci4-html_email)

Composer Install

```
composer require tomkirsch/html_email

```

Add the service to `Config\Services`

```
	public static function htmlEmail(array $emailConfig=[], bool $getShared=TRUE){
		return $getShared ? static::getSharedInstance('htmlEmail', $emailConfig) : new \Tomkirsch\HtmlEmail\HtmlEmail($emailConfig);
	}

```

Use it.

```
$htmlEmail = service('htmlEmail', ['protocol'=>'mail']); // you can pass an array for CI's email->initialize() if you'd like.
$htmlEmail
	->setSubject('A Test Email for YOU!')
	->section($htmlEmail::SECTION_PREHEADER)
	->p('This is the preheader. It shows up in email previews (sometimes), but not the body.')
	->section($htmlEmail::SECTION_BODY)
	->p('Well Hello There!', [
		'text-align'=>'center',
		'font-size'=>'20px',
		'font-weight'=>'bold',
	])
	->p('This is a test email that uses HTML standard from 1992, because email applications cannot get their shit together. Hopefully this looks the same in most programs.')
	->pStart(['text-align'=>'center'])
		->a([
			'url'=>'https://google.com',
			'label'=>'Plain Link',
		])
	->pEnd()
	->pStart(['text-align'=>'center'])

	->plaintextLine('=')
	->section('footer')
	->p('You were sent this email because you stupidly signed up for our mailing list. Deal with it.')
	->setMessage() // this sets the HTML and plain text (setAltMessage()) content. Pass a view to customize the layout.
;
// you can pass anything through to CI's email lib too
$htmlEmail
	->setFrom('me@example.com')
	->setTo('you@example.com')
