ActionMailer

 / Published in: Ruby
 

Sick of writing almost the same thing over and over in your ActionMailer classes? Skip all that, and use something like this.

(If you have a configuration loaded into a constant, you could just replace the defaults above and use your app's defaults to make it all cleaner, of course)

And then from your controller you can do stuff like this:

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. class Mailer < ActionMailer::Base
  2.  
  3.   helper ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper
  4.  
  5.   def generic_mailer(options)
  6.     @recipients = options[:recipients] || "[email protected]"
  7.     @from = options[:from] || "[email protected]"
  8.     @cc = options[:cc] || ""
  9.     @bcc = options[:bcc] || ""
  10.     @subject = options[:subject] || ""
  11.     @body = options[:body] || {}
  12.     @headers = options[:headers] || {}
  13.     @charset = options[:charset] || "utf-8"
  14.   end
  15.  
  16.   # Create placeholders for whichever e-mails you need to deal with.
  17.   # Override mail elements where necessary
  18.  
  19.   def contact_us(options)
  20.     self.generic_mailer(options)
  21.   end
  22.  
  23.   ...
  24.  
  25. end
  26.  
  27.  
  28.  
  29. Mailer.deliver_contact_us(
  30.    :recipients => "[email protected]",
  31.    :body => { 
  32.                :name => params[:name],
  33.                :phone => params[:phone],
  34.                :email => params[:email],
  35.                :message => params[:message]
  36.              },
  37.    :from => "[email protected]"
  38. )
