Mailman

Preview emails in a browser instead of sending.

Install

meteor add sungwoncho:mailman

What it does

Whenever an email is sent during development, mailman opens it in your default browser for you, rather than sending or displaying the content in the console.

mailman is activated automatically in development environment. It is never compiled to production code.

Currently, mailman can only detect emails sent using Meteor's email package. Detecting email sent via third party API is in the future roadmap. Pull requests and ideas are encouraged.

Demo app

The demo app shown in the screenshot is hosted on this repository.

Manual switch

You can call the method activateMailman to switch mailman on and off. The method is available on server in development environment only. You might use this manual switch in meteor shell.

activateMailman takes a Boolean argument indicating whether you want to turn it on or off. The argument defaults to true.

Meteor.call('activateMailman', true);
// => mailman is turned on.
Meteor.call('activateMailman', false);
// => mailman is turned off.

Meteor.call('activateMailman');
// => mailman is turned on.
