Background Jobs

Mailing on top of Background Jobs.

Install

npm install @universal-packages/background-jobs-mailing

npm install @universal-packages/background-jobs
npm install redis

Jobs

After installation jobs will automatically load email job classes, pass all the mailing options through the jobs option loaderOptions.

import { Jobs } from '@universal-packages/background-jobs-mailing'

import WelcomeEmail from './src/emails/Welcome.email'

const jobs = new Jobs({ jobsLocation: './src/jobs', loaderOptions: { mailing: { engine: 'local' } } })
await jobs.prepare()

await WelcomeEmail.sendLater({ userId: 123 })

await jobs.release()

// WelcomeEmail.job.js|ts
import { BaseEmail } from '@universal-packages/background-jobs-mailing'

export default class WelcomeEmail extends BaseEmail {
  async build(params) {
    const user = await User.find(params.userId)

    return { subject: `Welcome ${user.name}`, to: user.email, from: '[email protected]' }
  }
}

LoaderOptions

Mailing takes the same options as the original Mailing.

BaseEmail

Base interface to enable a JS class to be used as a mailer class, it will need a build method that return the send options.

Static properties

Same static properties as BaseJob

Templates

Instead of passing a templatesLocation an Email class can automatically infer a template derived from the same name as the class.

- emails
  |- Welcome.email.js
  |- welcome-email.html
  |- welcome-email.txt

Now the welcome-email template will be rendered and used as html contents when sending the welcome email without specifying it.
