Is there a way to create/inject custom email templates?

[nabbl]

Hi,

I can see that there are some mail templates in /platform/templates/ however I can see no way to customize them without changing the unchained platform package as well?

Any hint on how to do that properly?

greetings
Daniel

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yes you can configure the E-Mail templates like this:

https://github.com/unchainedshop/thisisnotacommercial.com/blob/master/unchained/boot.js#L5

https://github.com/unchainedshop/thisisnotacommercial.com/blob/master/unchained/templates/index.js

This is using an old engine, but as far as I know, the mailing did not change much.

Better docs hopefully coming soon 😊

@schmidsi No it's not working like this anymore, more fancy now.

@nabbl a MESSAGING template is defined like

const accountActionTemplate = (props) => {
  return [
    {
      type: 'EMAIL',
      input: {
        from: 'noreply@xxx.ch',
        to: 'info@xxx.ch',
        subject: `title`,
        text: "blabla",
        attachments: [{ filename: '', path: ''}],
      },
    },
  ];
};

Then you can wire that function like:

import { MessagingDirector } from 'meteor/unchained:core-messaging';
import { MessageTypes } from 'meteor/unchained:platform';

MessagingDirector.configureTemplate(
    MessageTypes.ACCOUNT_ACTION,
    accountActionTemplate,
  );

This is where the defaults are:
https://github.com/unchainedshop/unchained/blob/master/packages/platform/setup-templates.js
https://github.com/unchainedshop/unchained/blob/master/packages/platform/templates/account-action.js

When you overwrite a message type like account action, make sure you run configureTemplate after startPlatform on boot
