How to send email in Rails 7?

In Rails 7, you can use the Action Mailer framework to send emails. Action Mailer provides a set of methods and conventions for sending email messages from your Rails application. Here's an example of how to send an email using Action Mailer in Rails 7:

Generate a new mailer:

Copy code rails generate mailer MyMailer This command will generate a new mailer file (my_mailer.rb) in the app/mailers directory, along with a corresponding view directory (app/views/my_mailer).

1. Open the generated mailer file (app/mailers/my_mailer.rb) and define a method for the email you want to send. For example:

class MyMailer < ApplicationMailer
  def welcome_email(user)
    @user = user
    mail(to: @user.email, subject: 'Welcome to My App')
  end
end

In this example, the welcome_email method takes a user object as a parameter. It sets the @user instance variable, which can be used in the corresponding view.

2. Create a view file for the email (app/views/my_mailer/welcome_email.html.erb or app/views/my_mailer/welcome_email.text.erb). You can use either HTML or plain text format, depending on your needs.

3. To send the email, you can call the mailer method from a controller or any other part of your application. For example:

MyMailer.welcome_email(user).deliver_now

Replace user with the actual user object you want to send the email to.

That's it! This is a basic example of sending an email in Rails 7 using Action Mailer. You can customize the email content, add attachments, use mailer layouts, and configure email delivery settings according to your requirements. Be sure to check the Rails documentation for more information on advanced email features and options.
