SendGrid

📧 SendGrid library for the Vapor web framework, based on SendGridKit.

Send simple emails, or leverage the full capabilities of SendGrid's V3 API.

Getting Started

Use the SPM string to easily include the dependendency in your Package.swift file

.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor-community/sendgrid.git", from: "6.0.0-rc.1")

and add it to your target's dependencies:

.product(name: "SendGrid", package: "sendgrid")

Overview

Warning

Make sure that the SENDGRID_API_KEY variable is set in your environment. This can be set in the Xcode scheme, or specified in your docker-compose.yml, or even provided as part of a swift run command. A missing API key will result in a fatal error.

Using the API

You can use all of the available parameters here to build your SendGridEmail.

Usage in a route closure would be as followed:

import SendGrid

let email = SendGridEmail(…)
try await req.sendgrid.client.send(email)

Error handling

If the request to the API failed for any reason a SendGridError is thrown, which has an errors property that contains an array of errors returned by the API.

Simply ensure you catch errors thrown like any other throwing function.

do {
	try await req.sendgrid.client.send(email)
} catch let error as SendGridError {
	req.logger.error("\(error.errors)")
}
