Mailer Service

Generic service to send email. Encapsulates various implementations, currently :

• SMTP server connection
• SendMail call to sendmail on the command line
• SendGrid Call to Sendgrid API

Queue

TODO: a queue mechanism to avoid spamming mail server should be implemented to batch emails.

GRPC and REST Services

A grpc service is used internally by other services to send email, e.g. by the Activity Service when sending user alerts or user digests, or the Scheduler service to send jobs results to Administrator, etc.

A REST service is exposed to the frontend to allow direct communication between users.

Overview

Package mailer acts a central mail server for the application.

It implements various types of communication with actual mail servers (sendmail, smtp, sendgrid API) and a simple queue mechanism to avoid spamming these servers.

Functions

func NewGomailMessage

func NewGomailMessage(email *mailer.Mail) (*gomail.Message, error)

NewGomailMessage prepares a new Message to be sent.

Types

type BoltQueue

type BoltQueue struct {

	// For Testing purpose : delete file after closing
	DeleteOnClose bool
	// Path to the DB file
	DbPath string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

BoltQueue defines a queue for the mails backed by a Bolt DB.

func NewBoltQueue

func NewBoltQueue(fileName string, deleteOnClose ...bool) (*BoltQueue, error)

NewBoltQueue creates a Bolt DB if necessary.

func (*BoltQueue) Close

func (b *BoltQueue) Close() error

Close closes the DB and delete corresponding file if deleteOnClose flag as been set on creation.

func (*BoltQueue) Consume

func (b *BoltQueue) Consume(sendHandler func(email *mailer.Mail) error) error

Consume acquires the lock and send mails that are in the queue by batches, sending at most 100 mails by batch.

func (*BoltQueue) Push

func (b *BoltQueue) Push(email *mailer.Mail) error

Push acquires the lock and add a mail to be sent in the queue.

type Queue

type Queue interface {
	Push(email *mailer.Mail) error
	Consume(func(email *mailer.Mail) error) error
	Close() error
}

func GetQueue

func GetQueue(ctx context.Context, t string, conf common.ConfigValues) Queue

type SendGrid

type SendGrid struct {
	ApiKey string
}

SendGrid is a passerelle to Sendgrid API. It holds the application API Key.
