SES Templates

Amazon SES template management made easy.

Requirements

• Node ^18.3.0

Getting Started

SES Templates allows you to easily manage your AWS SES templates by giving you a local development server with live reloading to test out your changes, as well as some helpful commands to push and pull your changes to and from SES.

To get started, simply make a new project to manage your templates.

1. Create a new directory and run

    npm init

2. Install ses-templates

    npm install ses-templates

3. Set the following environment variables

   PORT=<number> # the local dev server port
   AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<string>
   AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<string>
   AWS_SES_REGION=<string>

4. Start the local dev server

   npx ses-templates start

You can add this to your package.json scripts if you prefer:

"scripts": {
  "start": "ses-templates start"
}
