Send email using Mailgun - Vuemail

1. Install dependencies

Get the @vuemaildev/vuemail, mailgun.js, and form-data packages.

npm install mailgun.js form-data @vuemaildev/vuemail

yarn add mailgun.js form-data @vuemaildev/vuemail

pnpm add mailgun.js form-data @vuemaildev/vuemail

2. Create an email using Vue

Start by building your email template in a .vue file.

email.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Button, Html } from '@vuemaildev/vuemail';

const { url } = defineProps<{ url: string }>();
</script>

<template>
  <Html lang="en">
    <Button :href="url">Click me</Button>
  </Html>
</template>

3. Convert to HTML and send email

Import the email template you just built, convert it into an HTML string, and use the Mailgun SDK to send it.

import { render } from '@vuemaildev/vuemail';
import FormData from 'form-data';
import Mailgun from 'mailgun.js';
import Email from './email.vue';

const mailgun = new Mailgun(FormData);
const client = mailgun.client({
  username: 'api',
  key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY,
});

const emailHtml = await render(Email, { url: 'https://example.com' });

await client.messages.create(process.env.MAILGUN_DOMAIN, {
  from: 'you@example.com',
  to: ['user@gmail.com'],
  subject: 'hello world',
  html: emailHtml,
});
