Overview
=================
This is a tiny wrapper around the standard EmailMessage class and send_mail()
function. Just pass template_name and context as the first parameters then use
as normal.

Installation
=================
Run::

$ pip install max-django-mail-templated

And register the app in your settings file::

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'mail_templated'
)

Usage
=================
Write a template to send a plain text message. Note that first and last newline
will be removed::

{% block subject %}
Hello {{ user.name }}
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
This is a plain text message.
{% endblock %}

Or for an html message::

{% block subject %}
Hello {{ user.name }}
{% endblock %}

{% block html %}
This is an <strong>html</strong> message.
{% endblock %}

Or for a multipart message you can use both blocks::

{% block subject %}
Hello {{ user.name }}
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
This is a plain text message.
{% endblock %}

{% block html %}
This is an <strong>html</strong> message.
{% endblock %}

Or leave out some block to set it manually later with EmailMessage class::

{% block body %}
This is a plain text message.
{% endblock %}

Now you can send it::

from mail_templated import send_mail
send_mail('email/hello.tpl', {'user': user}, from_email, [user.email])


You can add in BCC like this::

send_mail('email/hello.tpl', {'user': user}, from_email, [user.email], bcc=[user2.email])

You can also add an attachment like this::

send_mail('email/hello.tpl', {'user': user}, from_email, [user.email], attachment="file/path.pdf")

Or if you wish to add more control over message creation then use the class form::

from mail_templated import EmailMessage
message = EmailMessage('email/hello.tpl', {'user': user}, to=[user.email])
# ... attach a file, etc
message.send()

That's all. Please create an issue at GitHub if you have any notes,
...or just email :)

Extends
=================

You can extend templates like so::

{% extends "email_base.tpl" %}

{% block subjectcontent %}
Subject
{% endblock %}

{% block bodycontent %}
This is a plain text message.
{% endblock %}

{% block htmlcontent %}
This is an <strong>html</strong> message.
{% endblock %}


and email_base.tpl would look like this::

{% block subject %}
{% block subjectcontent %}{% endblock %}
{% endblock %}

{% block body %}
A heading or logo
{% block bodycontent %}{% endblock %}
{% endblock %}

{% block html %}
A heading or logo
{% block htmlcontent %}{% endblock %}
{% endblock %}

**Please note that you must include all blocks in the base template file.**

If you dont include one of the blocks in the base template it will not be shown. So you cannot, for example, move the subject block into the top file.


Tests
=================

To run the unit tests you first need to create a virutal env in project root directory.

virtualenv env

Then you need to install the test requriements.

env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Now you can run the unit tests using the following command.

env/bin/python mail_templated/tests/runtests.py
