Hermes - An Elixir Mailer

Is a mailer component for sending emails using SMTP. The name comes from the greek messanger of the gods.

Using

Hermes is simple to add to any project. If you are using the hex package manager, just add the following to your mix file:

def deps do
  [ { :hermes, '~> 0.1.0' } ]
end

If you aren't using hex, add the a reference to the github repo.

def deps do
  [ { :hermes, github: "nurugger07/hermes" } ]
end

Ensure that Hermes is started in the your mix file:

def application do
  [applications: [:hermes]]
end

Then run mix deps.get in the shell to fetch and compile the dependencies. Next setup the config. There are default values but you most likely will need to add your own settings:

config :hermes,
  [domain: "your-smtp-server",
   username: "your-username",
   password: "your-password"]

Simple Example

Add a module to work as the messenger:

defmodule SimpleMessenger do
  use Hermes.Messenger
end

Then create a message struct and call deliver:

%Hermes.Message{
  from: "[email protected]",
  to: "[email protected]",
  subject: "Hello, World!",
  body: """
  Hello!

  This is my first email sent through hermes.

  Thanks,
  Johnny
  """} |> SimpleMessenger.deliver

Next Steps
