Continuous Integration:
[
The project relies on a templateless module it.ozimov:spring-boot-email-core that provides the core
features (e.g. sending emails, scheduling and prioritizing). Since it is templateless, it does not provide
any implementation of the service to be used to generate the body of the email via template engine.
If you want to use one of the template engines supported by this project (i.e. Freemarker,
Mustache, Pebble and Thymeleaf), you can use the dedicated templatefull
module that is shipped with the core module. The standard naming for the templatefull module is
it.ozimov:spring-boot-{template_engine_name}-email (where {template_engine_name} is for instance pebble).
Latest release is 0.3.4. To use the core module, you can import the following dependency in Maven
<dependency>
<groupId>it.ozimov</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-email-core</artifactId>
<version>0.3.4</version>
</dependency>To embed the module that includes the Freemarker template engine, you can use the following Maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>it.ozimov</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-freemarker-email</artifactId>
<version>0.3.4</version>
</dependency>for Mustache:
<dependency>
<groupId>it.ozimov</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-mustache-email</artifactId>
<version>0.3.4</version>
</dependency>for Pebble:
<dependency>
<groupId>it.ozimov</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-pebble-email</artifactId>
<version>0.3.4</version>
</dependency>and for Thymeleaf:
<dependency>
<groupId>it.ozimov</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-thymeleaf-email</artifactId>
<version>0.3.4</version>
</dependency>Remember that if you import the templatefull module, the core module is not required.
In your main Spring Boot application, you may need to add an explicit reference to scan for all the services and controllers defined in the Spring Boot Email module, e.g.:
package com.myapplication;
@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.myapplication", "it.ozimov.springbooot"})
public class MainApplication {
public static void main(final String... args) {
}
}in you application.yml set the configuration needed to send the emails, e.g. if you want to send
the emails using a Gmail account you can set:
spring.mail.host: smtp.gmail.com
spring.mail.port: 587
spring.mail.username: name.surname@gmail.com
spring.mail.password: V3ry_Str0ng_Password
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.auth: true
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.starttls.enable: true
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.starttls.required: trueTo send an email, use the EmailService in your Spring Boot application. E.g.
@Autowired
public EmailService emailService;
public void sendEmailWithoutTemplating(){
final Email email = EmailImpl.builder()
.from(new InternetAddress("cicero@mala-tempora.currunt", "Marco Tullio Cicerone "))
.to(Lists.newArrayList(new InternetAddress("titus@de-rerum.natura", "Pomponius Attĭcus")))
.subject("Laelius de amicitia")
.body("Firmamentum autem stabilitatis constantiaeque eius, quam in amicitia quaerimus, fides est.")
.encoding(Charset.forName("UTF-8")).build();
emailService.send(email);
}The previous code will send a plain text message. To obtain some more dynamic fancy emails, you have two options:
i) the former and easier-to-use is to use a templatefull module (e.g. based on Freemarker);
ii) the latter (which requires some effort on your side) needs an an implementation of the
interface it.ozimov.springboot.templating.mail.service.TemplateService.
The aforementioned interface requires a component that implements the following method
String mergeTemplateIntoString(String templateReference, Map<String, Object> model)
throws IOException, TemplateException;Assuming you opted for one of the previous options, just put the template in the required folder
(e.g. templates under resourses) and try to execute the following code (it works with Freemarker):
@Autowired
public EmailService emailService;
public void sendEmailWithTemplating(){
Arrays.asList(new Cospirator("cassius@sic-semper.tyrannis", "Gaius Cassius Longinus"),
new Cospirator("brutus@sic-semper.tyrannis", "Marcus Iunius Brutus Caepio"))
.stream.forEach(tyrannicida -> {
final Email email = EmailImpl.builder()
.from(new InternetAddress("divus.iulius@mala-tempora.currunt", "Gaius Iulius Caesar"))
.to(Lists.newArrayList(new InternetAddress(tyrannicida.getEmail(), tyrannicida.getName())))
.subject("Idus Martii")
.body("")//Empty body
.encoding(Charset.forName("UTF-8")).build();
//Defining the model object for the given Freemarker template
final Map<String, Object> modelObject = new HashMap<>();
modelObject.put("tyrannicida", tyrannicida.getName());
emailService.send(email, "idus_martii.ftl", modelObject);
};
}
private static class Cospirator {
private String email;
private String name;
public Cospirator(final String email, final String name){
this.email = email;
this.name = name;
}
//getters
}where the template idus_martii.ftl is a Freemarker file like:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<p>
Tu quoque, <em>${tyrannicida}</em>!
</p>
</body>
</html>The following example shows how to send and email that includes an inline image.
@Autowired
public EmailService emailService;
public void sendEmailWithTemplatingAndInlineImage(){
final Email email = EmailImpl.builder()
.from(new InternetAddress("divus.iulius@mala-tempora.currunt", "Gaius Iulius Caesar"))
.to(Lists.newArrayList(new InternetAddress("brutus@sic-semper.tyrannis", "Marcus Iunius Brutus Caepio")))
.subject("Idus Martii")
.body("")//Empty body
.encoding(Charset.forName("UTF-8")).build();
//Defining the model object for the given Freemarker template
final Map<String, Object> modelObject = new HashMap<>();
final File imageFile = //load your picture here, e.g. "my_image.jpg"
modelObject.put("tyrannicida", tyrannicida.getName());
final InlinePicture inlinePicture = InlinePictureImpl.builder()
.file(imageFile)
.imageType(ImageType.JPG)
.templateName("my_image.jpg").build());
emailService.send(email, "idus_martii.ftl", modelObject, inlinePicture);
}
//getters
}where the template idus_martii.ftl is a Freemarker file like:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<p>
<img src="my_image.jpg" />
</p>
</body>
</html>be sure that the name provided in the InlinePicture matches with the one used in the template file path included, if
any was set. This means that if in the template you have <img src="images/my_image.jpg" /> then the definition has to be
changed as follows:
final InlinePicture inlinePicture = InlinePictureImpl.builder()
.file(imageFile)
.imageType(ImageType.JPG)
.templateName("images/my_image.jpg").build());This is required to set the a proper content-id.
The library supports email scheduling. Email can be set in different queues, from the one with highest priority to the least important. Priority 1 is the highest.
To define the number of priority levels, just add in the application.properties the following line:
spring.mail.scheduler.priorityLevels=10Scheduling an email is actually easy. To schedule an email, just resort to the service
PriorityQueueSchedulerService. The service allows to schedule an email with or without
the use of a template engine...
@Autowired
private PriorityQueueSchedulerService scheduler;
public void schedule (final Email mimeEmail, final OffsetDateTime scheduledDateTime, final int priorityLevel) throws CannotSendEmailException {
scheduler.schedule(mimeEmail, scheduledDateTime, priorityLevel);
}Here we go, an email has been scheduled.
When scheduling emails, observe that OffsetDateTime must be used with UTC, so do not forget to convert it if you
use a different zone offset.
To schedule an email with a template and inline images, just do
@Autowired
private PriorityQueueSchedulerService scheduler;
schedule(final Email mimeEmail,
final OffsetDateTime scheduledDateTime,
final int priorityLevel,
final String template,
final Map<String, Object> modelObject,
final InlinePicture... inlinePictures) throws CannotSendEmailException {
scheduler.schedule(mimeEmail, scheduledDateTime, priorityLevel, template, modelObject, inlinePictures);
}Here are listed the backlog for the features to be added to the library in the near future:
- Script to automatize version change during deploy in the readme file
- Persistence of the emails to prevent loss in case of application crash or stop
