Email templates module

Extension for creating email templates and managing by using your site dashboard. You can create email templates with CRUD module in your backend or Gii generator.

Documentation is at docs/guide/README.md.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

$ composer require yiimaker/yii2-email-templates 

or add

"yiimaker/yii2-email-templates": "~4.1" 

to the require section of your composer.json.

Usage

1. Create template with placeholders using your site dashboard or Gii generator

   Key

   register-notification - this is unique key of this template for using in your code

   Subject

   Notification from {site-name}

   In this example email subject has one placeholder {site-name}

   Body

   Hello, {username}! Welcome to {site-name} :)

   Email body has two placeholders: {username} and {site-name}.

   All keys should be wrapped by {}.

2. Now you can get this template in your code

   $template = Yii::$app->get('templateManager')->getTemplate('register-notification');

   This method returns a template model object.

3. Then you should parse this template

   $template->parseSubject([ 'site-name' => Yii::$app->name, ]); $template->parseBody([ 'username' => Yii::$app->getIdentity()->username, 'site-name' => Yii::$app->name, ]);

   or use another method

   $template->parse([ 'subject' => [ 'site-name' => Yii::$app->name, ], 'body' => [ 'username' => Yii::$app->getIdentity()->username, 'site-name' => Yii::$app->name, ], ]);

   this methods replace placeholders in template with real data.

4. Now you can use data of this template in your logic

   Yii::$app->get('mailer')->compose() ->setSubject($template->subject) ->setHtmlBody($template->body) // ...
