The Mailgun Mailer App

The Mailgun mailer app provides a Foxx.queues job type for sending transactional emails with Mailgun.

Examples

var Foxx = require('org/arangodb/foxx')
    queue = Foxx.queues.create('my-queue', 1);

queue.push('mailer.mailgun', {
    from: 'postmaster@initech.example',
    to: 'john.doe@employees.initech.example',
    subject: 'Termination',
    html: '<blink>YOU ARE FIRED!</blink>',
    'o:tag': ['internal', 'terminations']
});

// or if you prefer not to hardcode the job type:

queue.push(Foxx.requireApp('/mailgun-mailer-mountpoint').mailer.jobType, {
    // ...
});
