Quick Start

package main

import (
    "context"
    "log"

    "code.beautifulmachines.dev/jakoubek/sendamatic"
)

func main() {
    // Create client
    client := sendamatic.NewClient("your-user-id", "your-password")

    // Build message
    msg := sendamatic.NewMessage().
        SetSender("[email protected]").
        AddTo("[email protected]").
        SetSubject("Hello from Sendamatic").
        SetTextBody("This is a test message.").
        SetHTMLBody("<h1>Hello!</h1><p>This is a test message.</p>")

    // Send email
    resp, err := client.Send(context.Background(), msg)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    log.Printf("Email sent successfully: %d", resp.StatusCode)
}

Usage Examples

Basic Email

msg := sendamatic.NewMessage().
    SetSender("[email protected]").
    AddTo("[email protected]").
    SetSubject("Hello World").
    SetTextBody("This is a plain text email.")

resp, err := client.Send(context.Background(), msg)

HTML Email with Multiple Recipients

msg := sendamatic.NewMessage().
    SetSender("[email protected]").
    AddTo("[email protected]").
    AddTo("[email protected]").
    AddCC("[email protected]").
    AddBCC("[email protected]").
    SetSubject("Monthly Newsletter").
    SetHTMLBody("<h1>Newsletter</h1><p>Your monthly update...</p>").
    SetTextBody("Newsletter - Your monthly update...")

Email with Attachments

// From file path
msg := sendamatic.NewMessage().
    SetSender("[email protected]").
    AddTo("[email protected]").
    SetSubject("Invoice").
    SetTextBody("Please find your invoice attached.")

err := msg.AttachFileFromPath("./invoice.pdf", "application/pdf")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Or from byte slice
pdfData := []byte{...}
msg.AttachFile("invoice.pdf", "application/pdf", pdfData)

Custom Headers

msg := sendamatic.NewMessage().
    SetSender("[email protected]").
    AddTo("[email protected]").
    SetSubject("Custom Headers").
    SetTextBody("Email with custom headers").
    AddHeader("Reply-To", "[email protected]").
    AddHeader("X-Priority", "1")

With Timeout

client := sendamatic.NewClient(
    "user-id",
    "password",
    sendamatic.WithTimeout(45*time.Second),
)

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
defer cancel()

resp, err := client.Send(ctx, msg)

Custom HTTP Client

httpClient := &http.Client{
    Timeout: 60 * time.Second,
    Transport: &http.Transport{
        MaxIdleConns: 10,
    },
}

client := sendamatic.NewClient(
    "user-id",
    "password",
    sendamatic.WithHTTPClient(httpClient),
)

Configuration Options

The client supports various configuration options via the functional options pattern:

client := sendamatic.NewClient(
    "user-id",
    "password",
    sendamatic.WithBaseURL("https://custom.api.url"),
    sendamatic.WithTimeout(60*time.Second),
    sendamatic.WithHTTPClient(customHTTPClient),
)

Response Handling

The SendResponse provides methods to check the delivery status:

resp, err := client.Send(ctx, msg)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Check overall success
if resp.IsSuccess() {
    log.Println("Email sent successfully")
}

// Check individual recipient status
for email := range resp.Recipients {
    if status, ok := resp.GetStatus(email); ok {
        log.Printf("Recipient %s: status %d", email, status)
    }
    if msgID, ok := resp.GetMessageID(email); ok {
        log.Printf("Message ID: %s", msgID)
    }
}

Error Handling

The library provides typed errors for better error handling:

resp, err := client.Send(ctx, msg)
if err != nil {
    var apiErr *sendamatic.APIError
    if errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
        log.Printf("API error (status %d): %s", apiErr.StatusCode, apiErr.Message)
        if apiErr.ValidationErrors != "" {
            log.Printf("Validation: %s", apiErr.ValidationErrors)
        }
    } else {
        log.Printf("Other error: %v", err)
    }
}
