DSLify HTML email creation (+ also from template)

[Alex Petrov]

Right now, I assume that text ones are default. I realize that it's very easy to just add 1 line to specify content type, but I think it's good to have it available within DSL.

In what DSL?

I have no suggestions. I'll try several things that came to my mind during next weeks...

Do you have an approach on this? I would be available to add html support if you think it's worth (and also because I need it).

Thanks

@guilespi I don't have any specific ideas, feel free to experiment. We can always tweak things a few times. It perhaps can be as simple as one new function?

Thanks for considering to help!

I was thinking about adding a new optional parameter, content-type to deliver-email and build-email.

If parameter not present everything stays the same (defaults to plain-text)

:body {:type "text/html" :content "<b>test</b>"}

So the signatures would change to:

(defn build-email
  "Builds up a mail message (returned as an immutable map). 
   Body is rendered from a given template."
  ([m ^String template data content-type]
   ...)

(defn deliver-email
  "Delivers a mail message using delivery mode specified by the *delivery-mode* var. 
   Body is rendered from a given template."
  ([m ^String template data]
     (deliver-email m template data :text/plain))
  ([m ^String template data content-type]
     ...)

Sounds good?

Sounds good

I believe this has been addressed by #7. Let me know if it hasn't.
