Core email utilities with pluggable provider support, Jinja2 template rendering, and Quill HTML sanitization.

Installation

pip install abs-email-core

# With SendGrid support
pip install "abs-email-core[sendgrid]"

Quick Start

from abs_email_core import SendGridProvider, TemplateService, SendMailRequest

# Initialize provider and template service
provider = SendGridProvider(api_key="your-api-key", from_email="[e-mail]")
templates = TemplateService(template_dir="/path/to/your/templates")

# Render and send an HTML email
html = templates.render_email_template(title="Welcome", content="<p>Hello!</p>")
request = SendMailRequest(to=["[e-mail]"], subject="Welcome", body=html)
provider.send_html_email(request)

Providers

SendGridProvider

Requires the sendgrid extra: pip install "abs-email-core[sendgrid]"

from abs_email_core import SendGridProvider, SendMailRequest

provider = SendGridProvider(api_key="SG.xxx", from_email="[e-mail]")

# Plain text email
request = SendMailRequest(to=["[e-mail]"], subject="Hello", body="Hi there!")
provider.send_email(request)

# HTML email
request = SendMailRequest(to=["[e-mail]"], subject="Hello", body="<h1>Hi!</h1>")
provider.send_html_email(request)

# With file attachments (UploadFile-like objects)
provider.send_email(request, attachments=[upload_file])

Custom Provider

Implement the EmailProvider abstract class to add support for other email services:

from abs_email_core.provider.base import EmailProvider

class SMTPProvider(EmailProvider):
    def __init__(self, host: str, port: int, username: str, password: str, from_email: str):
        self.host = host
        self.port = port
        self.username = username
        self.password = password
        self.from_email = from_email

    def send_email(self, request, attachments=None) -> bool:
        # SMTP implementation
        ...

    def send_html_email(self, request, attachments=None) -> bool:
        # SMTP HTML implementation
        ...

Template Service

TemplateService uses Jinja2 to render email templates. The template_dir parameter is required — point it to the directory containing your Jinja2 template files.

from abs_email_core import TemplateService

templates = TemplateService(template_dir="/path/to/your/templates")

# Render any template by filename
html = templates.render_template("welcome.html", name="John", code="ABC123")

# Shortcut for the bundled email_template.html (must exist in your template_dir)
html = templates.render_email_template(
    title="Welcome",
    content="<p>Your account is ready.</p>",
    footer="GovAssist Inc.",    # optional: footer text
    logo_url="https://...",     # optional: header/footer logo image URL
    attachments=[               # optional: renders download links
        {"file_name": "report.pdf", "url": "https://example.com/report.pdf"},
    ],
)

A default email_template.html is shipped with the package under abs_email_core/templates/ — copy it into your service's template directory or use it as a starting point for customization.

Quill HTML Sanitization

When email content originates from a Quill rich-text editor, the raw HTML often contains structural issues. TemplateService provides built-in sanitization that fixes:

• Removes internal ql-ui spans injected by Quill
• Normalizes list tags based on data-list attribute (bullet → <ul>, ordered → <ol>)
• Splits mixed lists (bullet + ordered items in one tag) into separate correct tags
• Merges consecutive same-type lists separated by <br> or whitespace
• Cleans data-list attributes from <li> elements
• Fixes fragmented paragraphs (e.g. <p>Dear </p>Name<p>,</p> → <p>Dear Name,</p>)

Usage

# Option 1: Sanitize during template rendering
html = templates.render_email_template(
    title="Welcome",
    content=quill_html,
    sanitize_quill=True,  # enables Quill HTML sanitization before rendering
)

# Option 2: Sanitize standalone (without rendering a template)
clean_html = templates.sanitize_quill_html(quill_html)

Utilities

Parse Emails

TemplateService includes a helper to parse email addresses from strings or lists:

# From comma/newline-separated string
emails = templates._parse_emails("[e-mail], [e-mail]\[e-mail]")
# → ["[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]"]

# From list (passthrough)
emails = templates._parse_emails(["[e-mail]", "[e-mail]"])
# → ["[e-mail]", "[e-mail]"]

Dependency Injection (with dependency-injector)

from dependency_injector import containers, providers
from abs_email_core import SendGridProvider, TemplateService

class Container(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
    email_provider = providers.Factory(
        SendGridProvider,
        api_key=configs.SENDGRID_API_KEY,
        from_email=configs.EMAIL_FROM,
    )
    template_service = providers.Factory(
        TemplateService,
        template_dir=configs.EMAIL_TEMPLATE_DIR,
    )
