I'd like to set up a "mailer/newsletter" using MailKit. My site stack is based off of Blazor web assembly and uses .Razor components.
I'm wondering if there is a way to consume a razor component I've written to output HTML into the MimeMessage object I'm using to generate my email body and what that architecture would look like / the best way to accomplish this?
Similar question (though not Blazor):
Late answer since I just saw this question: I wrote an alternative system called BlazorTemplater which uses .razor files instead of .cshtml since I had exactly this problem.
You can convert your templates to .razor format and then use BlazorTemplater to render to HTML:
var html = new ComponentRenderer<MyRazorClass>() .Set(c => c.SomeParameter = someValue) .Render(); It supports parameters, DI injection and nested components so you should find it useful! It's also much easier to set up and works in Razor Class Libraries too.
I am using Blazor with MailKit here: Google Email Viewer in Server Side Blazor
I use MarkupString to display the email content like this:
@using MimeKit @using MessageReader @strError <div style="padding:2px; vertical-align:top"> <div><i>@MimeKitMessage.Date.ToString()</i></div> <div><b>From:</b> @MimeKitMessage.From.ToString()</div> <div><b>To:</b> @MimeKitMessage.To.ToString()</div> <div><b>Subject:</b> @MimeKitMessage.Subject</div> <br /> <div>@((MarkupString)@htmlEmail)</div> </div> @code { [Parameter] public Message paramMessage { get; set; } MimeMessage MimeKitMessage; string strError = ""; string htmlEmail = ""; protected override void OnInitialized() { try { if (paramMessage != null) { string converted = paramMessage.Raw.Replace('-', '+'); converted = converted.Replace('_', '/'); byte[] decodedByte = Convert.FromBase64String(converted); using (Stream stream = new MemoryStream(decodedByte)) { // Convert to MimeKit from GMail // Load a MimeMessage from a stream MimeKitMessage = MimeMessage.Load(stream); // Convert any embedded images var visitor = new HtmlPreviewVisitor(); MimeKitMessage.Accept(visitor); htmlEmail = visitor.HtmlBody; //If the email has attachments we can get them here //var attachments = visitor.Attachments; } } } catch (Exception ex) { strError = ex.Message; } } }
