Preview Mode

Templates can be fiddly to get right as they can ordinarily only be viewed by actually generating an email and sending it. To work around this you can preview templates during development by running the micro-service from sbt:

cd $WORKSPACE/hmrc-email-renderer
sbt -Dhttp.port=8950 -Dapplication.router=testOnlyDoNotUseInAppConf.Routes run

You should be able to list all the templates available for preview from http://localhost:8950/hmrc-email-renderer/test-only/preview.

Note that to render logos correctly the assets frontend also needs to be started using

sm --start ASSETS_FRONTEND -f

Quick Preview

Alternatively, you can do a preview of emails by starting the service using sm to preview the source, snapshot or release versions of the micro-service.

sm --start ASSETS_FRONTEND -f
sm --start HMRC_EMAIL_RENDERER [-f|-r]

Again, list the templates can then be previewed from

http://localhost:8950/hmrc-email-renderer/test-only/preview
