{"id":14080,"library":"svelte-email","title":"Build Emails with Svelte","description":"svelte-email is a library that empowers developers to craft and design email templates using the Svelte framework. It provides a set of Svelte components (such as <Html>, <Button>, <Text>, <Hr>) that abstract away the complex and often archaic requirements of creating table-based, cross-client compatible HTML emails. The library facilitates rendering these Svelte components into static HTML or plain text strings, which can then be dispatched through any preferred email service provider (e.g., Nodemailer, SendGrid, Postmark). Currently at version 0.0.4, the project is in a very early development stage, implying that frequent, potentially breaking changes are highly probable as the library matures. Its key differentiator is bringing the ergonomic and reactive component-driven development paradigm of Svelte to email templating, mirroring the functionality of `react-email` for React, aiming to significantly simplify email design and maintenance workflows.","status":"active","version":"0.0.4","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":null,"tags":["javascript","typescript"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install svelte-email","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add svelte-email","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add svelte-email","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"svelte-email is a Svelte component library and requires Svelte as a peer dependency to function.
