grunt-email-builder

Uses Email Builder to inline css into HTML tags, send tests to Litmus, and send test emails to yourself.

As of v3.0.0, you will no longer be able to use the data-ignore attribute. Instead, use data attributes data-embed and data-embed-ignore to prevent email builder from inlining css styles.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <!-- styles will be inlined -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://github.com/Email-builder/grunt-email-builder/blob/master/./css/styles.css">

  <!-- styles will be embedded -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://github.com/Email-builder/grunt-email-builder/blob/master/./css/otherStyles.css" data-embed>

  <!-- link tag will be preserved and styles will not be inlined or embedded -->
  <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' data-embed-ignore>

  <!-- styles will be inlined -->
  <style>
    p { color: red; }
  </style>

  <!-- styles will be embedded -->
  <style data-embed>
    h1 { color: black; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Heading</h1>
  <p>Body</p>
</body>
</html>

Example Usage

emailBuilder:{
  inline: {
    files: { 'dest/output.html' : 'src/input.html' },
    options: {
      encodeSpecialChars: true
    }
  },
  litmus: {
    files: { 'dest/output.html' : 'src/input.html' },
    options: {
      encodeSpecialChars: true,
      litmus: {
        username: 'username',
        password: 'password',
        url: 'https://yoursite.litmus.com',
        applications: ['gmailnew', 'ffgmail', 'chromegmail']
      }
    }
  }
}

grunt.registerTask('inline', 'emailBuilder:inline');
grunt.registerTask('litmus', 'emailBuilder:litmus');

Troubleshooting

If you're having issues with Litmus taking forever to load a test or the title of the test is showing up as "No Subject", it is most likely an issue with the Litmus API. You can check the Litmus status page to find out if their having any issues. If that's not the case, submit an issue and we'll look into further.
