Mail

Gozen provides an easy way to configure your mail settings. The first thing you should do is go into your .env file and paste in the settings for you mail provider.

An example

First add these lines to your routes.go file

r.Get("/mail", mail.MailView)
r.Post("/mail", mail.SendMail)

Now create your controller

mail.go

package mail

import (
	"gozen/system/mail"
	"gozen/system/templates"
	"gozen/system/validation"
	"net/http"
)

func MailView(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	data := templates.TemplateData{}
	templates.Render(w, r, "mail", data)
}

func SendMail(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

	v := &validation.Validator{}

	v.Rules("email", r.FormValue("email"), "required|email")
		


	email := r.FormValue("email")

	postData := templates.PostData(w, r)

	if v.HasErrors() {
		templates.Errors(w, r, v, postData, "mail")
		return
	}

	//else success
	recipientEmail := email
	templatePath := "mail/email_template.html"

	result := mail.New().
		SetRecipient(recipientEmail).
		SetTemplatePath(templatePath).
		LoadTemplate().
		BuildMessage().
		Send()

	w.Write(result)
}

Add this to your views directory

mail.html

{{ template "_header.html" }}
<div>
   {{ if .Data.FlashData }}
   <div>
      <div class="text-danger">Error</div>
      <div class="text-danger">
         {{ .Data.FlashData }}
      </div>
   </div>
   {{end}}

   <h4>Mail</h4>
   <div>

      settings for your provider in the .env file

   <div>
      <form action="/mail" method="POST">

         <input 
            class="" 
            type="text"
            name="email" 
            placeholder="A valid email address" />

         <div class="text-danger">
            {{ .Data.PostDataErrors.email }}
         </div>               
         <button>
            Submit
         </button>
      </form>
   </div>
</div>
{{ template "_footer.html" }}
