README

This is a collection a Craft utilities to ease custom development on Craft CMS.

AbstractModule

This base class for custom modules aims at making less painful to create a Craft module. Most of the time, all you have to do to register/customize the following components is to override the corresponding getter:

• translation category (reasonable default value provided)
• CP template roots (reasonable default value provided)
• site template roots (reasonable default value provided)
• twig extensions
• CP nav items
• CP routes
• site routes
• User permissions
• Craft variables additions
• element types
• view hooks

⚠️ There may be some performance implications as the getters are executed on each request. Do as little as possible in the getters, and return early if possible.

If you need to further optimize your code, it's easy to get rid of this module and register the components the traditional way.

MailerComponentConfiguratorModule

This simple module lets you configure the Craft mailer component using environment variables.

Set the mailer transport adapter using the NST_MAILER_TRANSPORT_TYPE environment variable. Supported values: smtp, mailchimp (mandrill is also accepted, but it is deprecated) or mailjet.

Depending on the adapter you choose, different environments variables are needed to configure the adapter.

• NST_MAILER_FROM_EMAIL: required — the email used in the From: header of outgoing emails

SMTP

• NST_MAILER_SMTP_HOST: required — the SMTP server hostname
• NST_MAILER_SMTP_PORT: required — the SMTP server port number
• NST_MAILER_SMTP_USE_AUTHENTICATION: boolean — whether the SMTP server requires authentication
• NST_MAILER_SMTP_USERNAME: required if NST_MAILER_SMTP_USE_AUTHENTICATION — the SMTP username
• NST_MAILER_SMTP_PASSWORD: required if NST_MAILER_SMTP_USE_AUTHENTICATION — the SMTP password
• NST_MAILER_SMTP_ENCRYPTION: the SMTP encryption method. Either tls or ssl

In order to use this adapter, the mailchimp-transactional plugin must be installed.

See the documentation of the mailchimp-transactional plugin for details on the settings mapped to these environment variables.

• NST_MAILER_MAILCHIMP_API_KEY: required — the value of the mailchimp-transactional plugin apiKey setting
• NST_MAILER_MAILCHIMP_SUBACCOUNT: the value of the mailchimp-transactional plugin subaccount setting
