Angular Email

Angular Email is a library that enables email template development using Angular, inspired by jsx-email. It provides a way to create email components using Angular's templating system.

npm install @keycloakify/angular-email
# or
yarn add @keycloakify/angular-email

Creating an Email Component

see this example

Rendering the Email

To render the email as HTML or plaintext, use Angular's rendering engine:

// email.component.ts
...
import { render, RenderToHtml } from '@keycloakify/angular-email';

...
export class EmailComponent {
  ....
}

type EmailComponentProps = {};

export const renderToHtml: RenderToHtml<EmailComponentProps> = (props) => {
  return render({
    component: EmailComponent,
    selector: 'app-root',
    props,
    options: {
      pretty: true,
    },
  });
};

# cmd

export EMAIL_COMPONENTS_DIR_PATH="src/emails"
export EMAIL_OUTPUT_DIR_PATH="dist/emails"
export EMAIL_EXTERNAL_PACKAGES="tailwindcss,@tailwindcss/postcss,postcss,postcss-calc,postcss-custom-properties,postcss-preset-env,postcss-logical"

npx keycloakify-angular-email build -p "$EMAIL_COMPONENTS_DIR_PATH" -o "$EMAIL_OUTPUT_DIR_PATH" -e "$EMAIL_EXTERNAL_PACKAGES"

NB: use keycloakify-angular-email build when you don't need to pass dynamic inputs to your components, otherwise see Standalone Dynamic Rendering

With Keycloakify Emails

// emails/tsconfig.json

{
  "extends": "../tsconfig.json",
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "../out-tsc/emails",
    "types": []
  },
  "files": [],
  "include": ["*.ts", "**/*.ts"]
}

// email.component.ts
...
import { render } from '@keycloakify/angular-email';
import type { GetSubject, GetTemplate } from 'keycloakify-emails';

...
export class EmailComponent {
  ....
}

export const getTemplate: GetTemplate = async (props) => {
  return await render({
    component: EmailComponent,
    props,
    selector: 'kc-email-test',
    options: {
      signalInputsPrefix: '$',
      pretty: true,
      plainText: props.plainText,
    },
  });
};

export const getSubject: GetSubject = async (_props) => {
  return '[KEYCLOAK] - SMTP test message';
};

// vite.config.ts

...
import { buildEmailTheme } from 'keycloakify-emails';
import { angularEsbuildPlugin } from '@keycloakify/angular-email/esbuild';

export default defineConfig(({ mode }) => ({
  ...
  plugins: [
    angular(),
    keycloakify({
      ...
      postBuild: async (buildContext) => {
        await buildEmailTheme({
          templatesSrcDirPath: join(import.meta.dirname, 'emails', 'templates'),
          filterTemplate: (filePath: string) => !!filePath.endsWith('.component.ts'),
          themeNames: buildContext.themeNames,
          keycloakifyBuildDirPath: buildContext.keycloakifyBuildDirPath,
          locales: ['en'],
          cwd: import.meta.dirname,
          esbuild: {
            packages: 'bundle',
            external: ['juice', '...other packages you might use to process css'],
            format: 'esm',
            outExtension: { '.js': '.mjs' },
            plugins: [angularEsbuildPlugin(join(import.meta.dirname, 'emails'))],
          },
        });
      },
    }),
  ],
}));

Standalone Dynamic Rendering

Use it in a server environment

// index.mjs

import { toHTML } from '@keycloakify/angular-email/node';

toHTML({
  filePath: 'path/to/your.component.ts',
  props: { foo: 'bar' },
  externals: [],
})
  .then((html) => {
    console.log(html);
  })
  .catch((e) => {
    console.error(e);
  });

or

// index.cjs

const { toHTML } = require('@keycloakify/angular-email/node');

toHTML({
  filePath: 'path/to/your.component.ts',
  props: { foo: 'bar' },
  externals: [],
})
  .then((html) => {
    console.log(html);
  })
  .catch((e) => {
    console.error(e);
  });

# cmd

node index.mjs # or node index.cjs

Render

type Render<Input extends Record<string, any>> = {
  component: Type<unknown>;
  /** Component selector */
  selector: string;
  /** Component inputs */
  props?: Input;
  options?: {
    /** render as text */
    plainText?: boolean;
    /** format the html output */
    pretty?: boolean;
    /** Optional hook to manipulate the extracted CSS. Useful for PostCSS processing */
    cssProcessor?: (css: string, html: string) => Promise<string>;
    /** if you use prefix conventions on signal inputs */
    signalInputsPrefix?: string;
  };
};

render()

render<Input extends Record<string, any>>({ component, selector, props, options }: Render<Input>) => Promise<string>

@keycloakify/angular-email/esbuild

angularEsbuildPlugin()

angularEsbuildPlugin(cwd: string) => Plugin

@keycloakify/angular-email/node

toHTML()

toHTML<Input extends Record<string, any>>(options: {
    filePath: string;
    props?: Input;
    root?: string;
    externals?: string[];
}) => Promise<string>

@keycloakify/angular-email/tailwindcss-preset-email

Just a tailwind v4 preset, inspired by @maizzle/tailwindcss

/* styles.css */
@import '@keycloakify/angular-email/tailwindcss-preset-email';

// email.component.ts
...
import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { render, RenderToHtml } from '@keycloakify/angular-email';
// or your custom css processor implementation
import { cssProcessor } from '@keycloakify/angular-email/tailwindcss-preset-email/css-processor';


...
@Component({
  ...
  styleUrls: ['styles.css'],
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
})
export class EmailComponent {
  ....
}

type EmailComponentProps = {};

export const renderToHtml: RenderToHtml<EmailComponentProps> = (props) => {
  return render({
    component: EmailComponent,
    selector: 'app-root',
    props,
    options: {
      pretty: true,
      cssProcessor,
    },
  });
};
