MailStyle

MailStyle tries to make sending HTML emails a little less painful.

For a more in depth introduction check out the Blog Post

It was developed for use on Purify: Awesome Bug & Issue Tracking

Install

First install the dependencies:

sudo gem install nokogiri css_parser

Then install MailStyle to your rails app:

script/plugin install http://github.com/purify/mail_style

Usage

Simply add the css method to your deliver actions:

class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
  def welcome_email
    css :email
    
    subject 'Welcome Aboard'
    recipients 'someone@example.com'
    from 'jimneath@googlemail.com'
    sent_on Time.now
  end
end

This will look for a css file called email.css in your public/stylesheets folder. The css method can take either a string or a symbol. You can also pass the css file name with or without the .css extension.

Image URL Correcting

If you have default_url_options[:host] set in your mailer, then MailStyle will do it’s best to make the urls of images absolute.

In your mailer

ActionMailer::Base.default_url_options[:host] = "example.com"

Features

  • Write CSS styles inline
  • Corrects image urls
  • SASS Support

Bugs / Todo

  • Improve overall performance
  • Add support for less
  • Allow users to swap between css_parser and csspool
