Liquimail

Liquimail implements glue code to use Liquid templates with MailKit.

Library is feature complete and no further development is planned on this project, except for routine maintenance and bug fixes.

Liquimail templates are processed using DotLiquid library and mail messages are sent with MailKit.

Liquid templates can be stored in three different ways:

• Local file system,
• Embedded resources,
• SQL database table.

A fake, in-memory mail sender is also provided in order to easily perform unit tests.

Install

NuGet package PommaLabs.Liquimail is available for download:

dotnet add package PommaLabs.Liquimail

Another package, PommLabs.Liquimail.AspNetCore, which is focused on ASP.NET Core integrations, is also available for download:

dotnet add package PommaLabs.Liquimail.AspNetCore

Usage

Liquimail exposes two main interfaces:

• IMailSender, which actually sends mail messages.
• IMailTemplatesManager, which loads mail templates.

Configuring the first interface is mandatory, while the second one is needed only when using SendMail overloads which use the templating system based on DotLiquid.
