Requirements
------------

This Django app works with :

-  Python (>=2.7)
-  Django (>=1.9) (Need to be tested for previous versions)

Todo
----

-  Write tests
-  validate compatibility with previous versions of Django and Python
-  Set a demo app on pythonanywhere

Installation
------------

Install using ``pip`` :

``pip install django_simple_mail``

Add ``simple_mail`` to your INSTALLED_APPS settings.

.. code:: python

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'simple_mail',
       ...
   )

Then run :

``python manage.py migrate``

Quoting Django’s documentation :

   Mail is sent using the SMTP host and port specified in the
   ``EMAIL_HOST`` and ``EMAIL_PORT`` settings. The ``EMAIL_HOST_USER``
   and ``EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD`` settings, if set, are used to
   authenticate to the SMTP server, and the ``EMAIL_USE_TLS`` and
   ``EMAIL_USE_SSL`` settings control whether a secure connection is
   used.

So you need to set the following

::

   EMAIL_HOST = ''
   EMAIL_PORT = 587
   EMAIL_HOST_USER = ''
   EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ''
   EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
   EMAIL_USE_SSL = False

Integrations
------------

CKEDITOR for a WYSIWYG edition of contents
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simple Mail easily integrates with ``django-ckeditor`` to have a wysiwyg
edition of content. To use it :

``pip install django-ckeditor``

Then add ``ckeditor`` to your INSTALLED_APPS settings.

.. code:: python

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'ckeditor',
       ...
   )

And set the following in your settings :

``SIMPLE_MAIL_USE_CKEDITOR = True``

ModelTranslation to translate emails
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simple Mail easily integrates with ``django-modeltranslation`` to get
the content of your emails available in multiple languages.

``pip install django-modeltranslation``

Then add ``modeltranslation`` to your INSTALLED_APPS settings.

.. code:: python

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'modeltranslation',
       ...
   )

And set the following in your settings :

``SIMPLE_MAIL_USE_MODELTRANSALTION = True``

And run :

``python manage.py sync_translation_fields``

Create, register and send mails
-------------------------------

Register Mail
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Create a ``mails.py`` file in your app and define your mail.

The ``email_key`` attribute must not exceed 100 characters.

.. code:: python

   from simple_mail.mailer import BaseSimpleMail, simple_mailer


   class WelcomeMail(BaseSimpleMail):
       email_key = 'welcome'


   simple_mailer.register(WelcomeMail)

Then run ``./manage.py register_mails`` to create those mail into the
database.

The mail with key ``welcome`` will he be available for edition in your
django admin.

Send an email
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can the send the ``WelcomeMail`` the following way :

.. code:: python

   welcome_mail = WelcomeMail()
   welcome_mail.send(to, from_email=None, bcc=[], connection=None, attachments=[],
                      headers={}, cc=[], reply_to=[], fail_silently=False)

Passing variables to email
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can pass variable to email with the ``context`` attribute :

.. code:: python

   from simple_mail.mailer import BaseSimpleMail, simple_mailer


   class WelcomeMail(BaseSimpleMail):
       email_key = 'welcome'
       context = {
           'title' : 'My email title',
           'user': 'the user'
       }


   simple_mailer.register(WelcomeMail)

Or you can create a ``set_context`` method:

.. code:: python

   from simple_mail.mailer import BaseSimpleMail, simple_mailer


   class WelcomeMail(BaseSimpleMail):
       email_key = 'welcome'

       def set_context(self, user_id, welcome_link):
           user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)
           self.context = {
               'user': user,
               'welcome_link': welcome_link
           }


   simple_mailer.register(WelcomeMail)

You will then need to call the ``set_context`` before sending an email:

.. code:: python

   welcome_mail = WelcomeMail()
   welcome_mail.set_context(user_id, welcome_link)
   welcome_mail.send(to, from_email=None, bcc=[], connection=None, attachments=[],
                      headers={}, cc=[], reply_to=[], fail_silently=False)

Email preview and test email
----------------------------

From the admin you can preview an email and send a test email.

Both methods use your ``context`` attribute to render the email.

If you use the ``set_context`` method, you might need to create a
``set_test_context`` method.

This method should not take any argument :

.. code:: python

   from simple_mail.mailer import BaseSimpleMail, simple_mailer


   class WelcomeMail(BaseSimpleMail):
       email_key = 'welcome'

       def set_context(self, user_id, welcome_link):
           user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)
           self.context = {
               'user': user,
               'welcome_link': welcome_link
           }

       def set_test_context(self):
           user_id = User.objects.order_by('?').first().id
           self.set_context(user_id, 'http://my-webiste.com/my-path')


   simple_mailer.register(WelcomeMail)

This method impact the fields displayed in the **Context** section of
the admin.
