Features

Documentation

The full documentation is at https://django-saas-email.readthedocs.io.

Quickstart

Installation

Installation with pip:

pip install django-saas-email

Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_saas_email.apps.DjangoSaasEmailConfig',
    ...
)

Add a template engine TEMPLATES:

TEMPLATES = [
    ...
    {
        "BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
        "APP_DIRS": True,
        "DIRS": ["django_saas_email/templates/"],
        "NAME": "email",
        "OPTIONS": {"string_if_invalid": "{%s}"},
    }
]

JSONField

We are using the Postgres JSONField as default. If you installed psycopg2, everything should work fine.

If you are using a different database, you also need to install jsonfield:

pip install jsonfield

Adding the Sendgrid API Key to your settings

In settings.py:

SENDGRID_API_KEY=<....>

Other optional settings:

DJANGO_SAAS_TEST_EMAIL_ADDRESS=youremailfortesting@example.org
DJANGO_SAAS_FOOTER="""Follow <a href="#" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 12px; color: #999; text-decoration: underline; margin: 0;">@yourcompany</a> on Twitter"""

Sending emails

from django_saas_email.utils import create_and_send_mail

context={
  'first_name': 'John',
  'last_name': 'Doe',
}

create_and_send_mail(
  template_name="hello_world",
  context=context,
  to_address="john.doe@example.org"
)

This will create an email and send it with Sengrid.

You should use http://premailer.dialect.ca or django-premailer to create Inline CSS in HTML

Background sending

This module sends emails asynchronously. To do that, it uses celery. You will need to run and configure celery to really send emails using the library.

The best source to do that is First Steps with Celery.

But you may use the following simple guide if you want to make it fast:

  1. Create a celery.py file aside your wsgi.py file with the following content:

from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals
import os
from celery import Celery

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'config.settings')

app = Celery(<YOUR_APP_NAME>)
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings', namespace='CELERY')
app.autodiscover_tasks()

Change <YOUR_APP_NAME> to the name of your app.

  1. Install RabbitMQ.

  2. Run celery:

celery -A <YOUR_APP_NAME> worker -B -l debug

Change <YOUR_APP_NAME> to the name of your app.

  1. Now you might just send the email with no problem using create_and_send_mail function.

Running Tests

Does the code actually work?:

source <YOURVIRTUALENV>/bin/activate
(myenv) $ pip install tox
(myenv) $ tox
