Yeah the if unquote(Mix.env() == :dev) probably isn’t going to work. Templates are ultimately compiled into the view modules, so if you did:
if Mix.env == :dev do
defmodule MyAppWeb.SomeView do
# etc
end
end
Where MyAppWeb.SomeView is whatever view module is related to that template I believe that would work.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the explanation. I gave that a try just to see (and for anyone else that stumbles across this thread) and you’re right, that works! Good to know.
I might be reading the post wrong, but Swoosh has a section in the README dedicated specifically to testing.
Clarification: Swoosh is an Elixir library for sending emails, with numerous plugable adapters for specific services.
Yea, I’m using both the local and test adapter already but needed a way to quickly, visually preview any email without having to trigger the sending. But thank you!
But Swoosh can do that. You don’t need to send anything. You can preview your emails in the browser.
Right, yes. I am already using that feature of Swoosh. However, I wanted a slightly different solution where I could quickly preview any email without having to manually go through the user flows within my application (e.g. filling out forms). Unless, I’m completely missing something in the README…
What I created, allows me to visit http://localhost:4000/email_previews and see a list of links to preview all my apps emails:
I also created a gist for anyone else who might stumble across this thread and want the same:
