    'recipient@domain.tld', // $to
    'sender@domain.tld',    // $from
    'Email subject',        // $subject
    'Email content'         // $message
);

    'recipient@domain.tld', // $to
    'sender@domain.tld',    // $from
    'Email subject',        // $subject
    'Email content',        // $message
    'template',             // $message_type
    [],                     // $headers
    'john.doe@domain.tld',  // $cc
    'john.doe@domain.tld',  // $bcc
    [WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/dummy-file.zip']
);

Use a post as email content

$email_controller = new \WpMailHelper\Email();
$email_controller->sendEmail(
    'recipient@domain.tld', // $to
    'sender@domain.tld',    // $from
    'Email subject',        // $subject
    '$post->ID',            // $message
    'post'                  // $message_type
);

Use a custom template as email content

$email_controller = new \WpMailHelper\Email();
$email_controller->sendEmail(
    'recipient@domain.tld',                               // $to
    'sender@domain.tld',                                  // $from
    'Email subject',                                      // $subject
    get_stylesheet_directory() . '/emails/template.html', // $message
    'template'                                            // $message_type
);

Use custom variables in email content

Sometimes you'll have to replace some variables programatically in your emails. You can use the 'shortcodes' in the email subject and content. Check the following example to see how you can use them:

$email_subject = 'Welcome to our website, {{FIRST_NAME}}';
$email_content = 'Dear {{FIRST_NAME}}, thanks for joining our website. You have been registered with the following email address: {{EMAIL_ADDRESS}}';

$email_controller = new \WpMailHelper\Email();
$email_controller->setVars(
    [
        'FIRST_NAME' => 'Ion',
        'EMAIL_ADDRESS' => 'ion@domain.tld'
    ],
    [
        'FIRST_NAME' => 'Ion'
    ]
);
$email_controller->sendEmail(
    'ion@domain.tld',       // $to
    'sender@domain.tld',    // $from
    $email_subject,         // $subject
    $email_content          // $message
);

User will receive an email with the following subject:

Welcome to our website, Ion

and the content:

Dear Ion, thanks for joining our website. You have been registered with the following email address: ion@domain.tld
