Mailgun Mail Module

The Mailgun Mail Module is a comprehensive solution for integrating Mailgun's email functionality into NestJS applications. It provides a seamless way to send emails using Mailgun with minimal setup and configuration.

Features

• Easy integration with Mailgun's email services in NestJS projects
• Supports sending text, HTML, and template-based emails
• Allows dynamic configuration for Mailgun, including support for asynchronous setup
• Abstracts Mailgun client setup and provides a clean, service-based API for sending emails

Installation

yarn add @softkit/mail

For mailgun install mailgun.js

yarn add mailgun.js@^9.3.0

Usage

Import MailgunMailModule

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { MailgunMailModule } from '@softkit/mailgun-mail-module';

@Module({
  imports: [
    MailgunMailModule.forRoot({
      username: 'api',
      key: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
      domain: 'YOUR_DOMAIN',
      defaultFromEmail: '[email protected]',
    }),
  ],
})
export class YourAppModule {}

Asynchronous Configuration

If you need to configure the module asynchronously, for example, to inject some config:

@Module({
  imports: [
    MailgunMailModule.forRootAsync({
      useFactory: async (config: SomeMailConfig) => {
        return config;
      },
      inject: [SomeMailConfig],
    }),
  ],
})
export class YourAppModule {}

Add default configuration in your root config class

import { MailgunConfig } from '@softkit/mail';

export class RootConfig {
  @Type(() => MailgunConfig)
  @ValidateNested()
  public readonly mailgun!: MailgunConfig;
}

.env.yaml file

mailgun:
  domain: 'YOUR_DOMAIN'
  key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  username: 'api'
  defaultFromEmail: '[email protected]'
  defaultBccList:
    - '[email protected]'
    - '[email protected]'

Using native mailgun client (available in DI) in case if you need some customizations

   @Inject(MAILGUN_CLIENT_TOKEN) private mailgun: IMailgunClient

Enhancing Your Application with a Custom Typed Email Service

Enhance your NestJS application with a type-safe and versatile email service.

Quick Setup Guide

Step 1: Define Email Types

Start by creating an enumeration of the different types of emails your application will handle.

// email.types.ts
export enum EmailTypes {
  SIGNUP_EMAIL = 'SIGNUP_TEMPLATE',
  WELCOME = 'WELCOME_TEMPLATE',
}

Step 2: Specify Email Parameters

For each email type, define specific parameters to ensure that every email contains the right information.

// email-params.dto.ts
export class SignUpEmailParams {
  username: string;
  // Additional signup-specific parameters
}

export class WelcomeEmailParams {
  firstName: string;
  // Additional welcome-specific parameters
}

export type EmailDataParams<T extends EmailTypes> = 
  T extends EmailTypes.SIGNUP_EMAIL ? SignUpEmailParams :
  T extends EmailTypes.WELCOME ? WelcomeEmailParams :
  never;

Step 3: Create the Mail Service

Implement a mail service that uses these types, providing methods for sending various email types.

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AbstractMailService } from './abstract-mail.service';
import { EmailTypes } from './types/email.types';
import { SendEmailDto, SendEmailResult } from './vo';
import { EmailDataParams } from './types/email-params.dto';

@Injectable()
export class MailService {
  constructor(private mailService: AbstractMailService<EmailTypes>) {}

  public sendTemplateEmail<T extends EmailTypes>(
    templateId: T,
    emailData: SendEmailDto,
    templateVariables: EmailDataParams<T>,
  ): Promise<SendEmailResult> {
    return this.mailService.sendTemplateEmail(
      templateId,
      emailData,
      templateVariables,
    );
  }

  public sendEmail(emailData: SendEmailDto): Promise<SendEmailResult> {
    return this.mailService.sendEmail(emailData);
  }
}
