Strongly Typed Email Data

Not everyone likes using dynamic objects, maybe they like the intellisense too much. Whatever the reason, Postal lets you strongly type your email data if you need to.

Step 1 - Define a class that inherits from Email

namespace App.Models {
  public class ExampleEmail : Email {
    public string To { get; set; }
    public string Message { get; set; }
  }
}

Step 2 - Use that class!

public void Send() {
  var email = new ExampleEmail {
    To = "[email protected]",
    Message = "Strong typed message"
  };
  email.Send();
}

Step 3 - Create a view that uses your model. The name of the view is based on the class name. So ExampleEmail requires a view called "Example.cshtml"

@model App.Models.ExampleEmail
To: @Html.Raw(Model.To)
From: [email protected]
Subject: Example

Hello,
@Model.Message
Thanks!
