swig-email-templates

Node.js module for rendering beautiful emails with swig templates and email-friendly inline CSS using juice.

Inspired by niftylettuce/node-email-templates.

Features

• Uses swig, which supports Django-inspired template inheritance.
• Uses juice, which takes an HTML file and inlines all the <link rel="stylesheet">s and the <style>s.
• Uses swig-dummy-context which gives you the ability to generate dummy context from a template to aid in an email preview tool.
• URL rewrite support - you can provide a urlRewriteFn argument to rewrite your links.

Usage

var path = require('path')
  , emailTemplates = require('swig-email-templates')

var options = {
  root: path.join(__dirname, "templates"),
  // any other swig options allowed here
};
emailTemplates(options, function(err, render, generateDummy) {
  var context = {
    meatballCount: 9001,
  };
  render('meatball-sandwich.html', context, function(err, html) {
    // send html email
  });
  generateDummy('meatball-sandwich.html', function(err, dummyContext) {
    // dummyContext contains a context you can send to render, prepopulated
    // with dummy values. you can use this if you're building an email
    // preview tool.
  });
});
