RuudkPostmarkBundle

This bundle lets you send messages via Postmark. It can offload the sending of messages to a Resque worker for speed and reliability.

Installation

Step1: Require the package with Composer

php composer.phar require ruudk/postmark-bundle

Step2: Enable the bundles

Enable the bundles in the kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new BCC\ResqueBundle\BCCResqueBundle(),
        new Ruudk\PostmarkBundle\RuudkPostmarkBundle(),
    );
}

Step3: Configure

Configure the bundle.

# app/config/config_prod.yml
ruudk_postmark:
    token: API KEY

Optionally, you can specify extra options

ruudk_postmark:
    delayed: true                # Offload everything to a Resque worker by default
    disable_delivery: false      # Set true for test environment
    from:
        email: [email protected]   # Default from email
        name: My App, Inc        # Default from name
    resque:
        queue: my-queue-name     # Resque queue name to use, default is 'postmark'
    curl:
        timeout: 10              # Default Buzz\Curl timeout is 5
        connect_timeout: 2

If you want to configure the BCCResqueBundle, check the docs.

Congratulations! You're ready.

Usage

Composing messages

/**
 * @var \Ruudk\PostmarkBundle\Postmark\Postmark $postmark
 */
$postmark = $this->container->get('ruudk_postmark.postmark');

$message = $postmark->compose();
$message->addTo('[email protected]');
$message->setSubject('Subject');
$message->setTextBody('Body');
$message->setHtmlBody('Body');

Sending messages

If you want to send the message directly:

$postmark->send($message);

To send the message to a Resque worker, add an extra delayed() method:

$postmark->delayed()->send($message);

Batches

To send multiple messages in a batch (one API call):

$postmark->enqueue($message1);
$postmark->enqueue($anotherMessage);

$postmark->send();

Twig templates

This bundle supports Twig so that you can send a new message using a Twig template as a base.

Create a Twig template with a couple of blocks. It's not necessary to have them all.

{# AppBundle:Mail:email.html.twig #}
{% block subject %}
The subject of the message
{% endblock %}

{% block text %}
Hi {{ name }},

How are you today?
{% endblock text %}

{% block html %}
    <p>Hi <strong>{{ name }}</strong>,</p>
    <p>How are you today?</p>
{% endblock html %}

And compose the message:

$message = $postmark->compose('AppBundle:Mail:email.html.twig', array(
    'name' => 'Ruud'
));
$message->addTo('[email protected]');

$postmark->send($message);

Resque

If you want to use a Resque worker to send the messages you'll have to start the worker first: php app/console bcc:resque:worker-start -f postmark

Now when you send a message with the delayed() method the worker will pick it up and send it.
