Action Mailer is a framework for designing email service layers. These layers
|
|
are used to consolidate code for sending out forgotten passwords, welcome wishes
|
|
on signup, invoices for billing, and any other use case that requires a written
|
|
notification to either a person or another system.
|
|
|
|
Action Mailer is in essence a wrapper around Action Controller and the Mail gem.
|
|
It provides a way to make emails using templates in the same way that Action
|
|
Controller renders views using templates.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, an Action Mailer class can be used to process incoming email, such
|
|
as allowing a blog to accept new posts from an email (which could even have been
|
|
sent from a phone).
