Simple template

This template is used to send bouth email (password recovery and email confirmation)

The templates have access to 6 parameters :

• link
• btn
• body
• username
• appName
• subject
• options (optional)

To use it you only need to write ${parameter} on the template

IMPORTANT -- All the HTML file need to use only double quotes to avoid problems

If you want a custome template is necessary to select the correct file. In this example we are gonna use template.html

index.js

emailAdapter: {
  module: 'parse-smtp-template',
  options: {
    ...
    template: true,
    templatePath: "views/templates/template.html",

    // Custome options to your emails
    // You can add more options if you need
    passwordOptions: {
        subject: "Password recovery",
        body: "Custome pasword recovery email body",
        btn: "Recover your password"
        /* --EXTRA PARAMETERS--
        others: {
          extraParameter
        }
        */
    },
    confirmOptions: {
        subject: "E-mail confirmation",
        body: "Custome email confirmation body",
        btn: "confirm your email"
    },
  }
}
