Exploration of rendering dynamic emails in Javascript

JS Dynamic Emails Exploration

Exploring the feasibility of replicating Salesforce Marketing Cloud-like email dynamics using JavaScript.

Project Overview

This project aims to see if we can create a dynamic approach for rendering emails with JavaScript, specifically using templates and "data extensions" (set of pre-defined data).

|   |-- parsers.ts
|
|-- index.ts            # Main server file

Usage

1. Install dependencies bun install

2. Run the development server bun dev

3. Use the /preview-email endpoint with query parameters targetEmail and templateName to preview a dynamically generated email based on the provided template and data extension. http://localhost:8080/preview-email?targetEmail=[e-mail]&templateName=template1
