adapt-authoring-mailer

Initial version of the adapt-authoring mailer module

Configuration

Add this snippet (just as example!) to dev.config.js

...
,
   "adapt-authoring-mailer": {
    "isEnabled": true,
    "connectionUrl": "smtp://some@service.email:xyz@smtp.service.email"
},

The defaultSenderAddress and supportEmail values are used as the sender and the footer support contact for templated emails.

Sending templated emails

sendTemplated() renders a single branded HTML shell (templates/default.html) and sends it as a multipart text + HTML message. The mailer is content-agnostic — callers supply already-translated copy and the runtime values; branding (app name, theme colours) is read from config and the logo/emblem are CID-embedded.

await mailer.sendTemplated({
  to: 'user@example.com',
  subject: 'Reset your password',
  content: {
    emblem: 'key',                 // optional: spark | key | check | bell
    title: 'Reset your password',
    body: 'We received a request to reset your password.\n\nThis link expires in 30 minutes.',
    button: { label: 'Reset password', url: resetUrl }  // optional
  }
})

• body is plain text; blank lines become separate paragraphs and the text is HTML-escaped.
• emblem and button are optional; everything else is required.
• Branding comes from adapt-authoring-core (appName, primaryColour, chromeColour, commitColour) and the mailer's own supportEmail.
• Copy should live in a langpack and be translated by the caller — keep wording out of the template so emails stay localisable.

Known problems

On windows, if you get an error message like "error self signed certificate in certificate chain", it might be due your antivirus scanner: see nodemailer/nodemailer#406
