AiO email creator assitant

Your project need NodeJS 8+.

Postally are using the following libraries to offer an full email development environment :

• 🌾 Twig.js as the main template engine
• 🐙 Inky as the Email template engine
• ✉️ Foundation for Emails as HTML/CSS framework

To help your Email creation process, you can take a look at :

• Twig documentation
• Foundation for Emails documentation
• Inky templates examples
• Available Sass variables

First, install postally globally

$ npm install -g postally
# or
$ yarn global add postally

To create a new postally project, you can choose to create a new directory (f.ex. new_project) or bootstrap the project inside the current one.

$ postally init new_project
$ cd new_project
# or
$ postally init

This will produce the following file structure inside your project directory :

.
├── build            👈 your project's build (to use with MailChimp or CM)
├── data.json        👈 the json data to inject in the markup
├── images           👈 your image folder
├── index.html       👈 the inky/twig newsletter template
├── node_modules     👈 your only dependency
│    └── foundation-emails
├── package-lock.json
├── package.json     👈 npm settings
├── styles.scss      👈 your custom styles
└── variables.scss   👈 your custom and overrided Foundation for Emails variables

In your project directory, you can use the following command to start a web server into your default browser. It will automaticaly reload the rendered page and remake the build each time you will save your working files.

$ postally start

Almost the same as the start command, it only creates a once build.

$ postally build
