mailgun - send emails from Common Lisp!
This library provides an easy way to send transactional emails through http://mailgun.com.
Note
You don't have to setup your own SMTP servers!
And they have a "free" plan with 10000 emails per month.
Reasoning
Previously, I used this code in one of my projects, but seems this functionality needed almost in any serious web application. So, I decided to make it available as a separate library.
Here is how to use it
First, setup an account at http://mailgun.com. You need to add your domain there and to reveive an authentication token.
(setf mailgun:*domain* "mail.skazorama.ru")
(setf mailgun:*api-key* "key-************************")
(mailgun:send ("noreply@skazorama.ru"
"svetlyak.40wt@gmail.com"
"Mail subject")
(:h1 "This is a test letter")
(:p "It is in a HTML format and supports some tags"
"For example, I can make " (:b "a bold text") ".")
(:p "And here we have some items, passed to the template:")
(:ul
(loop for item in items
do (mailgun:htm
(:li item)))))Roadmap
- Add support for styles, build them with LASS and embed into an email's markup.
Building Documentation
Provide instruction how to build or use your library.
How to build documentation
To build documentation, you need a Sphinx. It is documentaion building tool written in Python.
To install it, you need a virtualenv. Read this instructions how to install it.
Also, you'll need a cl-launch. It is used by documentation tool to run a script which extracts documentation strings from lisp systems.
Run these commands to build documentation:
virtualenv --python python2.7 env source env/bin/activate pip install -r docs/requirements.txt invoke build_docs
These commands will create a virtual environment and
install some python libraries there. Command invoke build_docs
will build documentation and upload it to the GitHub, by replacing
the content of the gh-pages branch.
