Render markdown on transfer email

[lucca65]

After https://github.com/cambiatus/frontend/issues/615, we now allow for rich text on transfers memo. Rendering might be off when sending emails, so we must make sure we are properly rendering it. We use pure markdown, so it might be easy with libs like https://github.com/pragdave/earmark

Hey could you assign me this and add the hacktoberfest tag?

[lucca65]

Doen @ryguigas0 good luck!

Hey is there an list of routes I can use for sending transfer emails? Since I couldnt find any tests to use

[lucca65]

hey @ryguigas0 there is no need for you to worry about routes. In this app in particular no routes trigger emails.

Instead you can run this command on the project:

$ iex -S mix phx.server

This will start an interactive console for the project, where you can call email sending directly!

iex(1)> Repo.all(Cambiatus.Commune.Transfer) |> hd |> CambiatusWeb.Email.transfer

Open your browser on http://localhost:4000/dev/mailbox. You should have enough to keep going

That's all I needed to know thanks!

Hello again! I've been trying anything I could to create an Transfer since Repo.all returned an empty list and seeds.exs doesnt have an Transfer created. Could explain me what are the Transfer struct and how its created and sent?

[lucca65]

hey @ryguigas0, maybe some knowledge with elixir would be useful! Here are some resources:

• https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/getting-started.html#inserting-data
• https://elixirschool.com/en/lessons/ecto/basics

I can grab a snippet but I think its worth the challenge for you! let me know if you need me to provide you the answer

[ryguigas0]

Thanks for the learning resources! I have figured out how to create a transfer and turn a markdown memo into html memo. Now I'm going to clear a rendering problem and send the PR. Thanks a lot for the help!

[lucca65]

@ryguigas0 That's great! congrats on the progress so far! If you want you can open a draft PR, this way I can better assist you!

[ryguigas0]

If it's ok to say, my PR to count on Hacktofest the project topic should be 'hacktoberfest' not 'hacktoberfest2021'. It would be nice if you could change it. Also can I post this project on the hacktoberfest discord? (I'll send a link or a print)

[lucca65]

done! Yeah, please do! 💪

[ryguigas0]

Oops by project I meant the repo, also heres the link you should also post something there, it might bring more contributors here
