I have been working on a Go Language package called SimpleMailer that allows variables to be injected into the HTML template of an email. It uses {{VAR}} and replaces with a string.
Go Get the package
1 | go get github.com/hunterlong/simplemailer |
Import the package in your application
1 | import "github.com/hunterlong/simplemailer" |
Initialize your SMTP credentials, you can use Amazon SES, Gmail, Yahoo, etc…
Insert this inside your main() { }
1 2 | // SMTP host, port, username, password, name, send from address, email directory SimpleMailer.SetSMTPInfo("emailserveraddress.com", "465", "info@domain.com", "passwordhere", "Sender Name", "from@domain.com", "./emails/") |
Create a nice HTML template. Name it “welcome.html”
1 2 | Hello {{USERNAME}}, Thank you for joining {{WEBSITE}}. I hope you enjoy! |
Send your email with SimpleMailer!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | outVars := SimpleMailer.Variables{map[string]interface{}{ "USERNAME":"supercool", "WEBSITE": "yayprogramming.com", }} newOutgoing := SimpleMailer.Outgoing{ Email: "info@domain.com", Subject: "SimpleMailer in Golang", Template: "welcome.html", Variables: outVars } sendSuccess := SimpleMailer.SendSingle(newOutgoing) fmt.Println(sendSuccess) //true of false |
This Golang package can be useful for sending quick emails with simple variables inside of them. Everything from Forgot Password emails, transaction emails, Email confirmations, and everything in between.
