Static Email (Template) Generator

MEYL is a developer-first and accessibility-first email generator app. I write this app to create, edit, test, and manage all emails using a template engine. You can use it for generating single emails or you can create reusable email templates for Mandrill, SendGrid, Zapier, etc.

You can also edit text-based email content for the visual-impaired humans or OCR users, but if you forget that somehow, MEYL will auto-generate it for you.

Simple Usage

# create new project directory
meyl new email-templates

# generate emails
meyl generate --source=email-templates/src/ \
              --destination=email-templates/dst/

# send a test mail to preview
meyl send --template=email-templates/dst/wedding-invitation/ \
          --email="john.doe@localhost"

Immutable Variables

• subject
• body

Email Folder Structure

All templates should have:

1. a subject.html,
2. and a body.html.

You don't need to create also a body_text.html but in case, MEYL will auto-generate it for making your emails more accessible for all human being.

TO DO

• multilanguage support.
• digest css styles to html inside.
• support to embed markdown files to the email body as a variable.
• error outputs are not helpful. if there's an undefined variable, tell me which one is that. if a function or a filter has been used incorrectly, tell me what it is.
• auto-generate executable files every release (linux, win, mac).
• allow only BODY content in html files, we can add HTML and HEAD parts programmatically.
• test rendered outputs.
• change Email struct parameters: src_dir, dst_dir, template_name.
• minify rendered outputs.
• make css styles inline for html templates.
• choose a template engine to render email contents.
• I also need a arg parser for CLI.
• create project skeleton.
