Email adapter interface and initial implementations(s)

molomby commented 6 years ago

A framework for managing the generation and handoff of emails and one or more initial/core implementations.

The ability to generate emails and hand them off reliably, ideally in a portable (cross provider) way, are requirements that effect almost all projects. A full solution would include:

An defined interface that mail gateway packages can support (thematically similar to the data store adapter interfaces)
One or more gateway implementations against this standard (eg: Postmark, Mailgun, Mandrill, Sendgrid, etc.) and probably a stub gateway for dev/debug that dumps calls to the console or disk
Ability to provide a mail gateway instance to Keystone for use internally (eg. forgotten password, email address verification, etc.)

@JedWatson points out there's significant prior art for this in KS4. Ideally we could port it directly (less work and backwards compatibility).

My preference would be an adapter for Postmark.

Don't forget OneSignal's free platform (which supports SendGrid, Mailgun, and Mandrill with more coming soon

We now have the @keystone-alpha/email package (which wraps the keystone-email package) to help with this.
