MailDev for Docker local (for testing Send Mail steps)

Feature Request
1

Hello,

I’m using MailDev on Docker local for testing Send Mail steps. I added this to docker-compose.yml:

  maildev:
    image: 'maildev/maildev'
    ports:
      - '1080:1080'

And then I use Setup Mailer to setup with following options:

SMTP
host: maildev
port: 1025

And then I can test receiving e-mails. Web interface is on http://localhost:1080

I use maildev also.

They could also add it to Wappler engine as an internal module to start with node’s server.

Very interesting option indeed, maybe @patrick has some ideas for more closer Server Connect integration in development (for usage without docker) and otherwise we can always add it as a extra docker service.

Jon,
Can you help me out a bit here?
I don’t really see the ”why” of this.
Anytime I needed to send emails, I just connect to the SMTP server that I’m going to be using in my app, And send test emails to another email addy.
So I don’t seek with this gets me, Which is why I’m hoping you can enlighten me about some cool way to use this and why it would be good. Thanks

What if you are offline?

Maildev is not a game changer but it’s useful and convenient :slight_smile:
It is also easy to test responsiveness with it.

Separation of environments, generally you have a development environment and this one doesn’t interact with a production SMTP. I guess you could use a service like MailTrap as well, I guess it’s a matter of preference

I hope you never put a Send Mail in a Repeat loop and spam the heck out :rofl:
