datamail v0.2.0

DataMail

Build data-driven emails using Liquid template engine and MJML. This is a small library to render HTML from Liquid templates populated with data from any public API.

Usage

Install the package globally:

npm install -g datamail

Then use the command to render a HTML from a template file:

datamail template.liquid

This will generate the HTML file and put it next to the provided template. You can use clear HTML in templates but DataMail was initially developed for emails therefore it understands MJML out of the box. The following example will get data from GitHub API and render HTML with the search results.

{% import repositories from 'https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=liquid+template+engine&per_page=5' %}

<mjml>
  <mj-body>
    <mj-section background-color="#fff">
      <mj-column>
        <mj-text font-size="20px">Top 5 Liquid Template Engines on GitHub</mj-text>

        {% for item in repositories.items %}
          <mj-text><a href="{{ item.url }}">{{ item.full_name }}</a></mj-text>
          <mj-text padding-top="0">{{ item.description }}</mj-text>
        {% endfor %}
      </mj-column>
    </mj-section>
  </mj-body>
</mjml>
