FluentEmailer - Email sender for .NET

This library is based on the excellent FluentEmail by Luke Lowrey, which, at the time I'm writing this, looks like it is not being maintained any longer (unfortunately).

Note: This library is not compatible with .NET Framework projects.

Nuget Packages

Core Library

• FluentEmailer.Core - Just the domain model. Includes very basic defaults, but is also included with every other package here.
• FluentEmailer.Smtp - Send email via SMTP server.

Renderers

• FluentEmailer.Razor - Generate emails using Razor templates. Anything you can do in ASP.NET is possible here. Uses the RazorLight project under the hood.
• FluentEmailer.Liquid - Generate emails using Liquid templates. Uses the Fluid project under the hood.

Mail Provider Integrations

• FluentEmailer.MailerSend - Send email via MailerSend's REST API.
• FluentEmailer.Mailgun - Send emails via Mailgun's REST API.
• FluentEmailer.Mailtrap - Send emails to Mailtrap. Uses FluentEmailer.Smtp for delivery.
• FluentEmailer.MailKit - Send emails using the MailKit email library.
• FluentEmailer.SendGrid - Send email via SendGrid's REST API.

Basic Usage

var email = await Email
    .From("[email protected]")
    .To("[email protected]", "bob")
    .Subject("hows it going bob")
    .Body("yo bob, long time no see!")
    .SendAsync();

Dependency Injection

Configure FluentEmailer in startup.cs with these helper methods. This will inject IFluentEmailer (send a single email) and IFluentEmailerFactory (used to send multiple emails in a single context) with the ISender and ITemplateRenderer configured using AddLiquidRenderer(), AddSmtpSender() or other packages.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services
        .AddFluentEmail("[email protected]")
        .AddRazorRenderer()
        .AddSmtpSender("localhost", 25);
}

Example to take a dependency on IFluentEmailer:

public class EmailService {

   private IFluentEmailer _fluentEmailer;

   public EmailService(IFluentEmailer fluentEmailer) {
     _fluentEmailer = fluentEmailer;
   }

   public async Task Send() {
     await _fluentEmailer.To("[email protected]")
          .Body("The body").SendAsync();
   }
}

Using a Razor template

// Using Razor templating package (or set using AddRazorRenderer in services)
Email.DefaultRenderer = new RazorRenderer();

var template = "Dear @Model.Name, You are totally @Model.Compliment.";

var email = Email
    .From("[email protected]")
    .To("[email protected]")
    .Subject("woo nuget")
    .UsingTemplate(template, new { Name = "Luke", Compliment = "Awesome" });

Using a Liquid template

Liquid templates are a more secure option for Razor templates as they run in more restricted environment. While Razor templates have access to whole power of CLR functionality like file access, they also are more insecure if templates come from untrusted source. Liquid templates also have the benefit of being faster to parse initially as they don't need heavy compilation step like Razor templates do.

Model properties are exposed directly as properties in Liquid templates so they also become more compact.

See Fluid samples for more examples.

// Using Liquid templating package (or set using AddLiquidRenderer in services)

// file provider is used to resolve layout files if they are in use
var fileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Path.Combine(someRootPath, "EmailTemplates"));
var options = new LiquidRendererOptions
{
    FileProvider = fileProvider
};

Email.DefaultRenderer = new LiquidRenderer(Options.Create(options));

// template which utilizes layout
var template = @"
{% layout '_layout.liquid' %}
Dear {{ Name }}, You are totally {{ Compliment }}.";

var email = Email
    .From("[email protected]")
    .To("[email protected]")
    .Subject("woo nuget")
    .UsingTemplate(template, new ViewModel { Name = "Luke", Compliment = "Awesome" });

Sending Emails

// Using Smtp Sender package (or set using AddSmtpSender in services)
Email.DefaultSender = new SmtpSender();

//send normally
email.Send();

//send asynchronously
await email.SendAsync();

Template File from Disk

var email = Email
    .From("[email protected]")
    .To("[email protected]")
    .Subject("woo nuget")
    .UsingTemplateFromFile($"{Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()}/Mytemplate.cshtml", new { Name = "Rad Dude" });

Embedded Template File

var email = new Email("[email protected]")
	.To("[email protected]")
	.Subject("Hey cool name!")
	.UsingTemplateFromEmbedded("Example.Project.Namespace.template-name.cshtml", 
		new { Name = "Bob" }, 
		TypeFromYourEmbeddedAssembly.GetType().GetTypeInfo().Assembly);
