MJML + Template System + Twillio Sendgrid Example

An example of putting together MJML, Handlebars & Twillio Sendgrid for building responsive mails

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Run npm install
3. Add your Sendgrid API Key in .env file (refer to .env.default file for )
4. Add your Recipent Email .env file (refer to .env.default file)
5. Run node example.js

How it works

1. The app loads .env environment configuration.
2. The view in views/example.hbs is loaded.
3. The loaded view (now as a string) is converted to an Handlebars Template.
4. Then the template replaces the variables with the values in the userInfo object.
5. The Handlebar Template is converted to HTML.
6. The HTML is passed to Sendgrid to generate the email.
