Email Module For Kohana 3.x and Koseven

Factory-based email class. This class is a simple wrapper around Swiftmailer.

Updates

Based on the first email module for Kohana 3.x (shadowhand/email) with same method signatures
Uses latest version of Swiftmailer (6.x) which removes ::newInstance() methods
Adds support for using views similar to View::factory(...) as email body
Works with Koseven and Cascading filesystem

Installation

Download to modules directory.
Include it in APPPATH/bootstrap.php modules list:

Kohana::modules([
  ...
  'email' => MODPATH.'kohana-email',
  ...
]);

Go to your DOCROOT and include latest Swiftmailer

composer require swiftmailer/swiftmailer

Usage

Create new messages using the Email::factory($subject, $message) method. Add recipients, add sender, send message:

$email = Email::factory('Hello, World', 'This is my body, it is nice.')
              ->to('person@example.com')
              ->from('you@example.com', 'My Name')
              ->send();

You can also add HTML to your message:

$email->message('<p>This is <em>my</em> body, it is <strong>nice</strong>.</p>', 'text/html');

You can also use a view and bind variables (like in the controllers)

$body = "This is a test from Kohana Email module";
$email = Email::factory('Hello, World')
              ->from('you@example.com', 'My Name')
              ->to('person@example.com')
              ->view('emails/message')
              ->bind('body', $body)
              ->send();

Additional recipients can be added using the to(), cc(), and bcc() methods.

Additional senders can be added using the from() and reply_to() methods. If multiple sender addresses are specified, you need to set the actual sender of the message using the sender() method. Set the bounce recipient by using the return_path() method.

To access and modify the Swiftmailer message directly, use the raw_message() method.

Configuration

Configuration is stored in config/email.php. Options are dependant upon transport method used. Consult the Swiftmailer documentation for options available to each transport.
