#DEVELOPING MJML CODE#

Therefore if you try to edit that output it will be lost and somehow needs to be translated back into the original source. View the generated mjml, which is the product of running it through a custom transformation pipeline and composed with data but now has the downside of not being the original files in code.View the original mjml files which won't look right or might not work at all because they have invalid templating syntax mixed in.ProblemĬurrently mjml has tools created for it to view the rendered html in various simulated test environments (mobile or desktop, etc.) This is great but if those tools have no idea about the templating transformations applied to it and the data that goes into it then you have one of two options: Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that creating completely static email by hand is a super common scenario. 99% of systems using mjml will have some form of data binding in conjunction with mjml. I believe that it is a mistake for this project to maintain an unopinionated position about templating. The image on the right falls beneath the image on the left, stacking them into a column on Gmail for iOS as well as Inbox for iOS. I would expect the images to remain on the same line, and not break into a column, like so:

paste code into litmus and run browser previews.minify output using CLI or tool mentioned above.Replace image paths with my own, use correct width of image.Start with the mj-group example from the docs.Here is the relevant section of my code (non-minified): I have exported my code minified using the CLI command mjml source.mjml -o output.html -config.minify as well as using this tool, which was recommended in a separate issue. Mj-group containing 2 columns with images breaks into a stacked column on Gmail for iOS.

Speaking of developing mjml, there are also other ways besides using the App, as mentioned in the docs, for example using nodejs/gulp (I am using nodejs, gulp, webpack etc. I could share those snippets if you like.įinally, if I take some content from Symphony for the email content (usually a html - I use CKEditor for creating richtext content in Symphony I know you guys prefer Markdown I think), I chew it with a xslt template to get a html that would mjml generate (and plain text alike for the plain text mail version). But in the mean time I have those statements paired with corresponding xslt code that generates the same html output. Then comes the tricky part, where my thug life ends, but I dig xslt so no problems there - to mariage the html with ETM's xslt email template, because there are quite a few condition statements in that html generated from mjml.

This is very convenient to do I would say. I am using the official MJML App along with looking into the mjml language docs to create a mjml template of my own and generating the html from it. Yes, it's still a matter of juggling with tables.
