16.2. Mailer Models

Assuming the mail system is configured, let’s go ahead and create a mailer model that will contain code pertaining to sending and receiving a class of email. Rails provides a generator to get us started rapidly. Our mailer will send out a notices to any user of our sample application who is late entering their time.

$ rails generate mailer LateNotice
    create       app/mailers/late_notice.rb
    invoke       haml
    create       app/views/late_notice.text.html.haml
    invoke       rspec
    create       test/unit/late_notice_spec.rb
