BootstrapEmail.Net.Cli 1.7.1

BootstrapEmail.NET

If you know Bootstrap, you know Bootstrap Email.

This is the .NET Version of Bootstrap Email which was converted from Ruby to .NET (Core) 9/10

Bootstrap Email takes most of its inspiration from these two wonderful frameworks, Bootstrap and Tailwind but for HTML emails. Working with HTML in emails is never easy because of the nuances of email vs the web. With Bootstrap Email you don't have to understand all the nuance and it allows you to write emails like you would a website.

Runtime

Setup

There are a few different ways you can use Bootstrap Email to compile emails:

compile the file email.html and save it to the file out.html

bsEmail.Compile("email.html", "out.html", InputType.File);

specify a path pattern and a destination directory for compiled emails to be saved to

var bsEmail = new BootstrapEmail();

bsEmail.Compile("emails/*", "mails/compiled/", InputType.Pattern);
