mailers

Tower.Mailer

class App.Notifier extends Tower.Mailer
  @welcome: (user) ->
    @notification("welcome", name: user.firstName)

  @notification: (key, locals = {}) ->
    App.Notifier.defaultUrlOptions.host = locals.host || "mysite.com"
    subject                             = Tower.t("emails.#{key}.subject", locals)
    from                                = locals.from || I18n.t("emails.from")
    to                                  = locals.to
    
    @mail from: from, to: to, subject: subject

Then you use it like this:

class App.User extends Tower.Model
  welcome: ->
    App.Notifier.notification(@).deliver()

Here's a pattern I use a lot

class App.User extends Tower.Model
  @welcome: (id) ->
    App.Notifier.notification(@constructor.find(id)).deliver()
    
  welcome: ->
    @enqueue("welcome", @id)
