Question 1

How do I send an email with attachments using Vapor Mailgun?

Accepted Answer

You need to read the file data into a ByteBuffer, create a File object with the data and filename, then include it in the MailgunMessage attachments array. The README provides a code example using FileManager and ByteBufferAllocator.

Question 2

Vapor Mailgun vs SendGrid for Vapor: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Vapor Mailgun is ideal if you're committed to Mailgun's services and want deep Vapor integration. For SendGrid, you'd need a different package or custom implementation, as this one is Mailgun-specific. Consider provider features, pricing, and your existing setup.

Question 3

Can I handle inbound emails with Vapor Mailgun?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can set up Mailgun routes to forward incoming emails to your Vapor app using MailgunRouteSetup, then decode them into MailgunIncomingMessage objects for processing within your routes, as shown in the README.

Question 4

How to integrate Leaf templates with Mailgun emails?

Accepted Answer

Render the Leaf template using req.view.render with context variables, then pass the resulting HTML string to the html field of MailgunMessage. The README includes an example with a leaf file and variable substitution.

Question 5

What are the requirements for using Vapor Mailgun?

Accepted Answer

You need Vapor 4, Swift 6.1+, a Mailgun account with an API key and registered domain, and proper configuration in your Vapor app's configure.swift file, as detailed in the documentation.

Question 6

Is Vapor Mailgun good for high-volume email sending?

Accepted Answer

It can handle volume, but performance depends on Mailgun's API rate limits and your Vapor app's scaling. For bulk campaigns, ensure you optimize sending loops and consider Mailgun's batch features, though the package doesn't directly abstract those.
