NAME

Email::Assets - Manage assets for Email

VERSION

Version 0.10

DESCRIPION

HTML Email is a world of pain, this makes life a bit simpler. This is a Simple to use perl class for handling file assets in email, allowing you to link using cid or embed inline as data uri, providing hopefully something close to what File::Assets does for web.

Also supports exporting as MIME::Lite message parts.

SYNOPSIS

   use Email::Assets;

   my $assets = Email::Assets->new( base => [ $uri_root, $dir_root ] );

   # Email::Assets will automatically detect the type based on the extension
   my $asset = $assets->include("/static/foo.gif");

   # or

   my $asset = $assets->include_base64( $image_base64 );

   # This asset won't get attached twice, as Email::Assets will ignore repeats of a path
   my $cid = $assets->include("/static/foo.gif")->cid;

   # Or you can iterate (in order)
   for my $asset ($assets->exports) {
     print $asset->cid, "\n";
     my $mime_part = $asset->as_mime_part;
  }

..or in a template :

  <img src="cid://[% assets.include('static/foo.gif').cid %]">
  [% # or %]
  <img src="data:[% assets.include('static/foo.gif', {inline_only => 1}).inline_data -%]">
  <p>
  <img src="cid:[% assets.include_base64(image_base64, filename, { url_encoded => 1 }).cid %]">
</p>
<p>

ATTRIBUTES

mime_types

MIME::Types object

base

arrayref of paths to find files in

METHODS

include

Add an asset, takes filename (required), then optional hashref of options (inline_only currently only one supported), returns Email::Assets::File object

include_base64

Object method. Adds an asset already encoded in base64, returns that asset.

Takes string holding base64 encoded file, filename, then optional hashref of options:

inline_only - exclude asset from to_mime_parts, to avoid adding un-necessary size & attachments
url_encoded - base64 encoding is "url safe" so use base64url decoder, and re-encode for MIME::Lite, etc as not suited for most email use.

Returns Email::Assets::File object.

exports

Get all assets, returns list of Email::Assets::File objects

get

Get an asset by name, takes relative path, returns Email::Assets::File object

attachments

Get assets that aren't inline_only, returns arrayref of Email::Assets::File objects

to_mime_parts

Returns assets that aren't inline_only as arrayref of MIME::Lite objects
