How to migrate from pow_mailer_layout to pow_mailer_layouts

[nikcorg]

Hello!

I spotted a warning mentioning that pow_mailer_layout had been deprecated and it is indeed even in the changelog.

Are there migration instructions anywhere to moving from the old to the new?

Yeah, I should have added more to that changelog. Updated both the changelog and the warning with #730, thanks!

This was part of moving towards Phoenix 1.7 syntax changes, so it follows the same rules. Instead of:

put_private(conn, :pow_mailer_layout, {MyAppWeb.LayoutView, :email})

You would do something like:

put_private(conn, :pow_mailer_layouts, html: {MyAppWeb.Layouts, :email}, text: false

# If you use layout for text
put_private(conn, :pow_mailer_layouts, html: {MyAppWeb.Layouts, :email}, text: {MyAppWeb.Layouts, :email_text}

The Layouts module may look something like:

defmodule MyAppWeb.Layouts do
  @moduledoc false
  use MyAppWeb, :html

  embed_templates "layouts/*.html"

  # If you use layout for text
  embed_templates "layouts/*.text", suffix: "_text"
end

You can see how text email uses a suffix to avoid conflicts with the embed_templates. This is so we can use the Phoenix HTML helpers. You could also split it in two separate modules (one for HTML emails and one for text emails).
