Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Mail service

Readme

Mail Service

Library for sending email messages through configured gateways.

Supported gateways

  • slack
  • console
  • smtp
  • sendgrid
  • resend

Templates

The service uses Handlebars as the template engine.

Expected template files:

  • {name}.handlebars for HTML body
  • {name}.subject.handlebars for subject
  • {name}.plain.handlebars for plain-text body

Example:

# welcome.subject.handlebars Welcome, {{name}}!
# welcome.handlebars
<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <p>Welcome, {{name}}!</p>
  </body>
</html>
# welcome.plain.handlebars Welcome, {{name}}!

Configuration

| Name | Description | Example | | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | gateways | Array of gateways to send email | ['resend'] | | customGateways | Array of custom gateways classes | [CustomGateway] | | smtp.host | Mail gateway host address | smtp.gmail.com | | smtp.port | Mail gateway port number | 586 | | smtp.username | Mail gateway username | username | | smtp.password | Mail gateway password | qh05780c2qcm034579 | | *.sender | Mail sender address | [email protected] | | slack.url | Hook URL in case you want to duplicate messages to Slack | https://hooks.slack.com | | sendgrid.apiKey | Sendgrid API key | oiqur9823uiofhaoafoe | | resend.apiKey | Resend API key | re_xxxxxxxxx |

Resend config

export const mailConfig = {
  gateways: ['resend'],
  resend: {
    apiKey: process.env.RESEND_API_KEY,
    sender: process.env.MAIL_SENDER,
  },
};

Usage

yarn add @pixelplex/mail-service
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { MailModule } from '@pixelplex/mail-service';
import { AppService } from './app.service';

@Module({
  imports: [
    MailModule.forRoot({
      gateways: ['slack', 'smtp', 'console', 'resend'],
      slack: { url: 'hooks.slack.com' },
      smtp: {
        username: '[email protected]',
        sender: '[email protected]',
        host: 'smtp.ethereal.com',
        port: 678,
        password: 'password',
      },
      resend: {
        apiKey: RESEND_API_KEY,
        sender: MAIL_SENDER,
      },
    }),
  ],
  providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { MailSenderService } from '@pixelplex/mail-service';

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
  constructor(private readonly mailSenderService: MailSenderService) {}

  async sendWelcomeEmail() {
    await this.mailSenderService.sendEmail(
      '[email protected]',
      {
        htmlPath: htmlTemplatePath,
        plainPath: plainTextTemplatePath,
        subjectPath: subjectTemplatePath,
      },
      { year: 20 },
    );
  }
}

{ year: 20 } is the Handlebars context passed into the templates.

React templates are not supported at the moment. The package supports the same Handlebars-based flow as before, including for the new resend gateway.

Custom gateways

To add a custom gateway, provide a class that implements IGateway in customGateways.

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Content, IGateway } from '@pixelplex/mail-service';

@Injectable()
class CustomGateway implements IGateway {
  async send(to: string, content: Content): Promise<void> {
    console.log('this is custom gateway');
  }
}

MailModule.forRoot({
  gateways: ['console'],
  customGateways: [CustomGateway],
});
