 # There are 4 basic steps to implementing your ActionMailer functionality in a Rails app:
 # Step 1. Create your ActionMailer object. Remember that it can have any name, but should finish with "Mailer":

 rails g mailer UserMailer 

 class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default from: "[email protected]"

   def confirm_user(user)
    @user = user
    @url  = 'http://fred.com/login'
    mail(to: @user.email, subject: 'Welcome to Fred Site')
  end
 end

 # Step 2. Create your HTML and text version of your email body:

 Text version of greeting email (in views/UserMailer/welcome_email.text.erb )
 Welcome to example.com, <%= @user.name %>
 ===============================================
 
 You have successfully signed up to example.com,
 your username is: <%= @user.login %>.
 
 To login to the site, just follow this link: <%= @url %>.
 
 Thanks for joining and have a great day!

 HTML version (in views/UserMailer/welcome_email.html.erb)
 <!DOCTYPE html>
 <html>
  <head>
    <meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type' />
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome to example.com, <%= @user.name %></h1>
    <p>
      You have successfully signed up to example.com,
      your username is: <%= @user.login %>.<br/>
    </p>
    <p>
      To login to the site, just follow this link: <%= @url %>.
    </p>
    <p>Thanks for joining and have a great day!</p>
  </body>
 </html>

 # Step 3. Add the call to your mailing method found in your ActionMailer object to your controller.
 # This can be any action you want to trigger a message being sent from. The most common place will
 # be your create method:
 def create
    @user = User.new(params[:user])
 
    respond_to do |format|
      if @user.save
        # Tell the UserMailer to send a welcome Email after save
        # only send the message if the user is successfully saved
        UserMailer.welcome_email(@user).deliver
 
        format.html { redirect_to(@user, notice: 'User was successfully created.') }
      else
        format.html { render action: 'new' }
      end
    end
  end

 # Step 4. Update your configuration environment. If you are in development (on your machine) you will use the
 # development.rb file settings. In Heroku you will use production.rb. The settings will depend on where you
 # are deploying from

 Then the configuration files:
 for local testing in config/environment/development.rb put something like this:
 config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :sendmail
 # Defaults to:
 # config.action_mailer.sendmail_settings = {
 #   location: '/usr/sbin/sendmail',
 #   arguments: '-i -t'
 # }
 config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
 config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
 config.action_mailer.default_options = {from: '[email protected]'}

 You will use the config/environment/production.rb file for deployment to Heroku, and 
 use the environment variables suggested by SendGrid, or whoever you choose for your
 3rd party mailer service.
