sendgrid_actionmailer_settings => options

[joshm1204]

What are the options you can set for sendgrid_actionmailer_settings? e.g. can you set the 'domain'?

config.action_mailer.sendgrid_actionmailer_settings = {
    api_key: '',
    raise_delivery_errors: true
  }

@joshm1204, those appear to be the only two options available. This gem utilizes the send-grid ruby gem which makes use of the Sendgrid v3 Mail Api. I see no reference to setting a 'domain' there. But the sender domain is referenced in the 'from' and 'reply-to'? Is that what you are looking for?

@tyrauber I assume @joshm1204 means setting the host which is possible with sendgrid-ruby and useful for testing, especially with apps recreating the Sendgrid API but otherwise acting like a mail catcher of some sorts.

@ur5us Thanks for the clarification. sendgrid-actionmailer currently only passes the api_key to sendgrid-ruby, but as you suggest there are additional attributes that can be set through sendgrid-ruby API initialization, specifically api_key, host, request_headers, version, and impersonate_subuser.

It would take a little bit of refactoring, but this gem could pass a settings hash to SendGrid::Api.new instead of just an api_key. The only major caveat is it would also need to take into account merging in instance set settings - mail_settings passed to mail that overwrite the default initializer settings.

What purpose or functionality would these additional attributes provide?

@tyrauber There are multiple purposes I think but one specific is this: https://github.com/TimKaechele/PostDoc Currently, it’s not possible to use PostDoc as a custom host can’t be configured.

@ur5us Give the branch feature/sendgrid_api_settings a try.

gem 'sendgrid-actionmailer', github: 'eddiezane/sendgrid-actionmailer', branch: 'feature/sendgrid_api_settings'

It should enable you to globally pass api_key and host ( or the other SendGridApi client settings) to sendgrid_actionmailer_settings:

config.action_mailer.sendgrid_actionmailer_settings = {
 api_key: ENV['SENDGRID_API_KEY'],
 host: ENV['SENDGRID_HOST']
}

or the mail instance through delivery-method-options:

mail(to: 'example@email.com',
 subject: 'email subject',
 body: 'email body',
 delivery_method_options: {
   api_key: 'SENDGRID_API_KEY',
   host: 'SENDGRID_HOST'
 }
)
