Seding emails with Devise gem and Mailgun Api - ruby-on-rails

Question

I want to send automated emails via Mailgun either SMTP or API. The problem is that in tutorials I find they explain how to do that manually e.i creating mailer class etc. For example like that:
def send_simple_message
RestClient.post "https://api:YOUR_API_KEY"\
"#api.mailgun.net/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/messages",
:from => "Excited User <mailgun#YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME>",
:to => "bar#example.com, YOU#YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME",
:subject => "Hello",
:text => "Testing some Mailgun awesomness!"
end
This is from official Mailgun documentation.
But I am using Devise gem which has email sending implemented.
For example I want to send password reset email. When I click forgot password and submit my email from logs I see that my email is tried to be sent, but not sent of course, I need to set up email server.
So the question is where is this code for sending recovery email is written in devise, how to override it? I want it to oveeride so it will use Mailgun API for example.
I have already generated registrations_controller.rb using
rails generate devise:controllers registrations
command. So I suppose I am overriding it here?
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

have you read this tutorial? Looks like you need to setup it in config/environments/development.rb
Something like:
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
address: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 587,
domain: ENV['GMAIL_DOMAIN'],
authentication: 'plain',
user_name: ENV['GMAIL_USERNAME'],
password: ENV['GMAIL_PASSWORD']
}
Also, you can try to use mail gun gem. Looks like It's really easy to setup it
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :mailgun
config.action_mailer.mailgun_settings = {
api_key: '<mailgun api key>',
domain: '<mailgun domain>'
}
Hope it helps you.
