Build Status

Handles mail generation and sending (pw reset, welcome mail, etc)

Dev Setup 🛠

Local dev setup

  1. Rename the .env.example file to .env (you can adjust app port and other settings, if needed) or generate a example env with yarn && yarn test:generate_env.
  2. Install Dependencies
    yarn
    
  3. Start the server
    yarn dev
    

Templates

The mailer uses html and plaintext templates to generate various mails. The templates are stored in src/templates by default.

We provide a set of default templates that we use for the "Lauf für Kaya!" charity run. We use handlebars for templateing utilizing i18next for translation - the i18n string format in the templates is : {{__ "string"}} You can provide your own templates by replacing the ones we provided before compiling the project or by simply mounting your custom templates into the docker container.

The server currently needs the following templates to work:

  • pw-reset.html
  • pw-reset.txt
  • test.html
  • test.txt
  • welcome_runner.html
  • welcome_runner.txt

Visual Studio Code

  • will be automatically recommended via ./vscode/extensions.json
  • we also provide a config for i18n-ally in the .vscode folder
