Mail::to
mail::to
is a Ruby on Rails helper method that generates a link to send an email to a specific recipient. It is often used in views to create a link that allows users to send an email to a specific person or group of people.
The basic syntax for mail::to
is as follows:
mail_to("[email protected]", "Recipient's Name")
This will generate a link that looks something like this:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Recipient's Name</a>
You can also pass additional options to mail::to
to customize the link. For example:
mail_to("[email protected]", "Recipient's Name", subject: "Hello")
This will generate a link with a subject line of "Hello".
Here are some common options you can pass to mail::to
:
subject
: sets the subject line of the emailbody
: sets the body of the emailcc
: sets the CC recipients for the emailbcc
: sets the BCC recipients for the emailfrom
: sets the from address for the email
Here is an example of using mail::to
with multiple options:
mail_to("[email protected]", "Recipient's Name", subject: "Hello", body: "Hello, this is a test email", cc: "[email protected]", bcc: "[email protected]", from: "[email protected]")
This will generate a link that looks something like this:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello&body=Hello%2C%20this%20is%20a%20test%20email&[email protected]&[email protected]&[email protected]">Recipient's Name</a>
Note that the mail::to
method is only available in Rails 3.1 and later. In earlier versions of Rails, you can use the mailto
helper method instead.
