Ruby on Rails Email automatic sending function implementation

Implement a function to automatically send a confirmation email to the registered email address.

Implementation

① App creation

Make an app called sample.

$ rails new sample

Move directory.

$ cd sample

We will create an application to send to the newly added email address, so create a User table. This time we will have two columns.

$ rails g scaffold User name email

Create a database.

$ rails db:migrate

② Email transmission settings

I will set it so that I can send Gmail. ①config/environments/development.rb　 ②config/environments/production.rb Please add the following to ① and ②.


Rails.application.configure do
  config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true  #Change from false to true
 #Omission#
  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp 
  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    address: 'smtp.gmail.com',
    domain: 'smtp.gmail.com',
    port: 587,
    user_name: Rails.application.credentials.gmail[:user_name],
    password: Rails.application.credentials.gmail[:password],
    authentication: 'login',
    enable_starttls_auto: true
  }
end

③ Create mailer

It plays a role as a controller in sending emails.

The name of the mailer is SampleMailer.

$ rails g mailer SampleMailer

When executed, the following two mailers will be created under app / mailers.

① application_mailer "Setting of the whole mailer" ② sample_mailer "Setting of an individual mailer called SampleMailer created earlier"

③ Mailer editing

① application_mailer "Setting of the whole mailer"

`app/mailers/application_mailer.rb`


class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default from:     "Yamada Taro",  #Sender's name
          reply_to: Rails.application.credentials.gmail[:user_name] #Sender's email address
  layout 'mailer'
end

② sample_mailer "Individual mailer settings"

`app/mailers/sample_mailer.rb`


class PostMailer < ApplicationMailer
  default from: "Yamada Taro"
  def published_email(user)
    @user = user
    mail to: user.email  #Newly registered email address
  end
end

④ Create the body of the email

The body of the email is created under app / views / sample_mailer. There are two types of email body, "HTML version" and "text version".

This time, we will create this. ① published_email.html.erb "HTML version" ② published_email.tex.erb "text version"

`html:app/views/sample_mailer/published_email.html.erb`


<!doctype html>
<html lang="ja">
<head>
  <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
  <h2><%= @user.name %>Mr</h2>
  <hr />
  <p>
Hello!<%= @user.name %>San!</p>
  <hr />
</body>
</html>

`html:app/views/sample_mailer/published_email.text.erb`


===============================
<%= @user.name %>Mr
===============================
 
Hello!<%= @user.name %>Mr.

⑥ Edit controller

Add a line to the "create method" of the controller.

`app/controllers/users_controller.rb`


class UsersController < ApplicationController
    #Omission
  def create
    @user = User.new(user_params)
  
    respond_to do |format|
      if @user.save
        SampleMailer.published_email(@user).deliver #Add this.
        format.html { redirect_to @user, notice: 'User was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @user }
      else
        format.html { render :new }
        format.json { render json: @user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end
   #Omission
end

⑥ Edit routing

Finally, set the routing and you're done.

`config/routes.rb`



Rails.application.routes.draw do
  resources :users
  root "users#index"  #Add this.
end

Let's start it up and check it at the end!

$ rails s

The screen will come out like this! Please actually operate and check.

If you register your name and email address, an email will be sent automatically.

This is the end of implementation. Thank you for watching.
