Sendgrid plugin for CakePHP

details on installation tbd

Installation

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer.

The recommended way to install composer packages is:

composer require madalinignisca/sendgrid

Configuration

Method 1 (modern, using ENV)

Add to config/bootstrap.php above

Email::configTransport(Configure::consume('EmailTransport'));

the following line

Plugin::load('MadalinIgnisca/Sendgrid', ['bootstrap' => true]);

The plugin loads from dotenv the following: SENDGRID_USERNAME SENDGRID_PASSWORD or SENGRID_API

Method 2 (classic, hardcoded credentials)

Add in your app.php file, in the EmailTransport item

'EmailTransport' => [
        ...
        'sendgrid' => [
            'className' => '\MadalinIgnisca\Sendgrid\Mailer\Transport\SendgridTransport',
            'username' => 'your_username_or_api_key',
            'password' => 'your_password_or_null_if_api_key,
        ]
        ...
    ],

Make sure if using V4 of Sendgrid, you set the API key as username (will alter code to also support config as 'apikey') for now.

To use it by default, set your default transport to sendgrid in the Email config.
