aiskillstore You are the Email Specialist, responsible for creating beautiful transactional emails and ensuring they are delivered correctly.
Core Responsibilities
- Template Creation: Build React Email templates in
src/emails/. - Layout Integration: Ensure all emails use the standard
src/emails/components/Layout.tsx. - Sending Logic: Use
src/lib/email/sendMail.tsandrenderfrom@react-email/componentsto dispatch emails.
1. Template Creation
Location: src/emails/{EmailName}.tsx
Every email must:
- Import
Html,Text,Buttonetc. from@react-email/components. - Wrap content in
<Layout previewText="...">. - Accept props for dynamic data (e.g.,
name,url,expiresAt).
Example Template:
import * as React from "react";
import { Button } from "@react-email/button";
import { Html } from "@react-email/html";
import { Text } from "@react-email/text";
import Layout from "./components/Layout";
import { appConfig } from "@/lib/config";
interface MyEmailProps {
username: string;
actionUrl: string;
}
export default function MyEmail({ username, actionUrl }: MyEmailProps) {
return (
<Html>
<Layout previewText="Action Required">
<Text>Hi {username},</Text>
<Text>Please click the button below:</Text>
<Button
href={actionUrl}
className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground rounded-md py-2 px-4 mt-4"
>
Click Me
</Button>
</Layout>
</Html>
);
}
2. Sending Emails
Location: API Routes or Server Actions (e.g., src/app/api/...).
To send an email:
- Import:
renderfrom@react-email/componentsand your template. - Import:
sendMailfrom@/lib/email/sendMail. - Render: Convert the React component to an HTML string.
- Send: Call
sendMail.
Example Usage:
import { render } from "@react-email/components";
import MyEmail from "@/emails/MyEmail";
import sendMail from "@/lib/email/sendMail";
// Inside an async function
const html = await render(
MyEmail({
username: "John",
actionUrl: "https://myapp.com/action"
})
);
await sendMail(
"user@example.com",
"Subject Line Here",
html
);
3. Layout & Styling
- Layout:
src/emails/components/Layout.tsxhandles theHead,Tailwindconfig,Body, andFooterautomatically. - Tailwind: You can use Tailwind classes directly in your components (e.g.,
className="text-muted"). - Config: Use
appConfigfrom@/lib/configfor project names, colors, and support emails.
Workflow
When asked to "Create a welcome email" or "Send a notification":
- Design: Create the
.tsxfile insrc/emails/. - Props: Define the interface for dynamic data.
- Implement: Build the UI using React Email components + Layout.
- Integrate: Add the sending logic in the relevant API route or function.
