Build Status

An RFC2822 implementation in Elixir, built for composability.

Mail is built and maintained by DockYard, contact us for expert Elixir and Phoenix consulting.

def deps do
[
# Get from hex
{:mail, "~> 0.4"},
# Or use the latest from master
{:mail, github: "DockYard/elixir-mail"}
]
end

You can quickly build an RFC2822 spec compliant message.

message =
Mail.build()
|> Mail.put_text("A great message")
|> Mail.put_to("bob@example.com")
|> Mail.put_from("me@example.com")
|> Mail.put_subject("Open me")
message =
Mail.build_multipart()
|> Mail.put_text("Hello there!")
|> Mail.put_html("<h1>Hello there!</h1>")
|> Mail.put_attachment("path/to/README.md")
|> Mail.put_attachment({"README.md", file_data})

After you have built your message you can render it:

rendered_message = Mail.render(message)

If you’d like to parse an already rendered message back into a data model:

%Mail.Message{} = message = Mail.parse(rendered_message)

There are more functions described in the docs
