Getting started

Transform an HTML string to text:

Premailex.to_text(html)

Add inline styles based on styles defined in <head>:

Premailex.to_inline_css(html)

Example with Swoosh

def welcome(user) do
  new()
  |> to({user.name, user.email})
  |> from({"Dr B Banner", "[email protected]"})
  |> subject("Hello, Avengers!")
  |> render_body("welcome.html", %{username: user.username})
  |> premail()
end

defp premail(email) do
  html = Premailex.to_inline_css(email.html_body)
  text = Premailex.to_text(email.html_body)

  email
  |> html_body(html)
  |> text_body(text)
end

Example with Bamboo

def welcome_email do
  new_email
  |> subject("Email subject")
  |> to("[email protected]")
  |> from("[email protected]")
  |> put_text_layout(false)
  |> render("email.html")
  |> premail()
end

defp premail(email) do
  html = Premailex.to_inline_css(email.html_body)
  text = Premailex.to_text(email.html_body)

  email
  |> html_body(html)
  |> text_body(text)
end

HTML parser

By default, premailex uses Floki to parse HTML, but you can exchange it for any HTML parser you prefer. Meeseeks is supported with the Premailex.HTMLParser.Meeseeks module. To use it, add the following to config.exs:

config :premailex, html_parser: Premailex.HTMLParser.Meeseeks
