This plugin provides a simple emailer.

Note
|
For Play 2.3.x please read the README on the 2.3.x branch. |
-
Add a library dependency on play-mailer:
"com.typesafe.play" %% "play-mailer" % "{version}"
See below for the version matrix.
-
Configure the mailer in your
conf/application.conf:play.mailer { host (mandatory) port (defaults to 25) ssl (defaults to no) tls (defaults to no) user (optional) password (optional) debug (defaults to no, to take effect you also need to set the log level to "DEBUG" for the application logger) timeout (defaults to 60s) connectiontimeout (defaults to 60s) mock (defaults to no, will only log all the email properties instead of sending an email) }
You can also configure the mailer programmatically, see user manual.
import play.libs.mailer.Email;
import play.libs.mailer.MailerClient;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import java.io.File;
import org.apache.commons.mail.EmailAttachment;
public class MyComponent {
@Inject MailerClient mailerClient;
public void sendEmail() {
Email email = new Email()
.setSubject("Simple email")
.setFrom("Mister FROM <[email protected]>")
.addTo("Miss TO <[email protected]>")
// adds attachment
.addAttachment("attachment.pdf", new File("/some/path/attachment.pdf"))
// adds inline attachment from byte array
.addAttachment("data.txt", "data".getBytes(), "text/plain", "Simple data", EmailAttachment.INLINE)
// sends text, HTML or both...
.setBodyText("A text message")
.setBodyHtml("<html><body><p>An <b>html</b> message</p></body></html>");
mailerClient.send(email);
}
}You need a MailerClient instance to send an email :
import play.api.libs.mailer._
import java.io.File
import org.apache.commons.mail.EmailAttachment
def sendEmail {
val email = Email(
"Simple email",
"Mister FROM <[email protected]>",
Seq("Miss TO <[email protected]>"),
// adds attachment
attachments = Seq(
AttachmentFile("attachment.pdf", new File("/some/path/attachment.pdf")),
// adds inline attachment from byte array
AttachmentData("data.txt", "data".getBytes, "text/plain", Some("Simple data"), Some(EmailAttachment.INLINE))
),
// sends text, HTML or both...
bodyText = Some("A text message"),
bodyHtml = Some("<html><body><p>An <b>html</b> message</p></body></html>")
)
mailerClient.send(email)
}Since Play 2.4, you can use runtime dependency injection or compile time dependency injection.
As a result, the MailerClient instance can be obtained using runtime dependency injection or compile time dependency injection.
Use the @Inject annotation on the constructor of your component or controller:
import play.api.libs.mailer._
import javax.inject.Inject
class MyComponent @Inject() (mailerClient: MailerClient)Declare the MailerClient without the @Inject annotation:
import play.api.libs.mailer._
class MyComponent(mailerClient: MailerClient)Then in your router definition, use the trait MailerComponents:
import play.api._
import play.api.ApplicationLoader.Context
import router.Routes
import play.api.libs.mailer._
class MyApplicationLoader extends ApplicationLoader {
def load(context: Context) = {
new ApplicationComponents(context).application
}
}
class ApplicationComponents(context: Context) extends BuiltInComponentsFromContext(context) with MailerComponents {
lazy val myComponent = new MyComponent(mailerClient)
// create your controllers here ...
lazy val router = new Routes(...) // inject your controllers here
}Finally add this line play.application.loader=SimpleApplicationLoader in application.conf.
The Play Mailer plugin supports several different versions of Play.
