Malvolio

Malvolio is a CLI tool that creates an easy workflow when developing HTML emails.

In your terminal, install the gem from Rubygems.

gem install malvolio

To create a new project, run the command

malvolio new <project-name> [--inky]

the --inky option will create a project that allows you to use The Zurb Foundation's Inky Templating Language and comes bundled with their Foundation Email CSS Framework.

The new command will generate a new project with the following structure:

/project-name
  ├──tmp/
  ├──dist/
  └──src/
      ├──index.html
      └──scss/
          └──index.scss

Once you've done some work in the src/ directory and are ready to build, you can run

malvolio build [PROJECT PATH] [--no-warnings]

Or, if you would like for your project to build automatically as you go, you can run

malvolio watch [PROJECT PATH] [--no-warnings]

Running either of these commands will output your final HTML email file to dist/index.html.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rspec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
