Recipient Protocol controls how data is formatted into an email recipient

deriving

Deriving

The protocol allows leveraging the Elixir's @derive feature to simplify protocol implementation in trivial cases. Accepted options are:

• :name (optional)
• :address (required)

example

Example

defmodule MyUser do
  @derive {Swoosh.Email.Recipient, name: :name, address: :email}
  defstruct [:name, :email, :other_props]
end

or with optional name...

defmodule MySubscriber do
  @derive {Swoosh.Email.Recipient, address: :email}
  defstruct [:email, :preferences]
end

full implementation without deriving...

defmodule MyUser do
  defstruct [:name, :email, :other_props]
end

defimpl Swoosh.Email.Recipient, for: MyUser do
  def format(%MyUser{name: name, email: address} = value) do
    {name, address}
  end
end
