This is the place to offer ongoing feedback with how is going on. I need to understand what difficulties you face.

1) What is done? 2) What is not done yet? 3) What is working? 4) What is not working yet? 5) Which difficulties you face now? 6) By which date you think I can git pull and start testing?

Done:

• Merged ng-mail-merge-directive and updated to fully work with the-app.
• Created Menu for mail-merge on main app, updated routes and controllers for all GUI components to work.
• Moved config files to flows/005-mail-merges/templates and removed insecure static file exposure from routes.
• Created flows_data table on the db from the requirement's data structure, including validation, and created logic to create table if it doesn't exists on app startup.
• Updated mail-merge client directive to inject additional variables at runtime to the formly form for these to become available on the templates on the client and backend when submitting.
• Implemented mail-merge.js, generate-document.js and email.js kue job scripts on the backend.
• Implemented backend API's to start the mail-merge flow from mail-merge.js (POST /api/flows/mail-merge), and implemented the getMailMergeHistory(recepientCode) API (GET /api/flows/mail-merge/:code/history) to get mail-merge history by recipient code.
• Implemented <download-pdf-button pdf-permalink={{merge.pdf_permalink}}/> to be used within the templates.
• Updated routes logic to handle configurable permalinks for document's html (html_permalink).
• Added logic to Zip and attach files to the email sent on the email.js kue job script.
• Updated routing logic to also accept pdf_permalink and zip_permalink to be served dynamically from the db.
• Implement mailMergeCsvFile(csvFilePath) API and mail-merge-csv-file.js to handle csv file processing of mail-merge flow.

To do:

Right now most of the mail-merge flow can be tested, except for the items on the todo list, so you can test everything but csv file support.

Remember to update the templates/config.json files to include your gmail account for email testing.
