Node.js module for rendering emails with swig templates and email-friendly inline CSS using juice.

Inspired by niftylettuce/node-email-templates.

• Uses swig, which supports Django-inspired template inheritance.
• Uses juice, which takes an HTML file and inlines all the <link rel="stylesheet">s and the <style>s.
• URL rewrite support - you can provide a urlRewriteFn argument to rewrite your links.

var path = require('path')
  , emailTemplates = require('swig-email-templates')

var options = {
  root: path.join(__dirname, "templates"),
  // any other swig options allowed here
};
emailTemplates(options, function(err, render) {
  var context = {
    meatballCount: 9001,
  };
  render('meatball-sandwich.html', context, function(err, html) {
    // send html email
  });
});

Installing swig-email-templates through npm will put the swig-email-templates command in your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.

swig-email-templates render [files] [options]

Where [files] can be any number of input files to process.

The options are:

• -v, --version: Display the installed version of swig-email-templates

• -h, --help: Show the help screen

• -o --output: The directory to output your files to. Defaults to stdout

• -r, --root: The root location for the files. The default is templates.

• -j, --json: The file that contains your context, stored in JSON

• -c, --context: The file that contains your context, stored as a CommonJS module. Used only if -j is not provided.

The following examples renders two files, email1.html and email2.html, which are both contained in the cwd. It uses the context stored in context/main.json for rendering, and places the results in the folder output.

swig-email-templates render email1.html email2.html -r ./ -o output/ -j context/main.json

• BREAKING CHANGE - the ability to generate a dummy context was removed because swig dropped support for ability to access the parse tree when it went to 1.x.
• Update swig dependency to 1.3.0
• Update jsdom dependency to 0.8.11
• Switch to juice2 fork

• added command line program (thanks jmeas)

• updated swig to 0.14.0

• updated juice to 0.4.0

• BREAKING CHANGE - render and generateDummy no longer automatically append .html to your template name to look it up. This means that if you before had render('meatball-sandwich') you must change it to render('meatball-sandwich.html') to work with 0.5.0.
• fixed crash during cleanup
• updated juice to 0.3.2
• updated jsdom to 0.5.4
