Overview
The react-html-email library is currently unmaintained. As React has matured, it is no longer necessary to use a separate library to generate email-specific markup. Instead, developers are encouraged to look at more recent CSS-in-JS and style inlining component libraries as the basis for building their own email design system. However, the react-html-email components can still serve as a useful starting point. The future of this project may involve creating a generic set of design components for email templates, similar to Chakra UI for email. If anyone is interested in taking ownership of this project and pursuing that, they can contact react-html-email@chromakode.com.
Features
- Provides a set of components for a standard 600px table layout for HTML emails.
- Supports React’s tags and attributes, with a few additional deprecated attributes for legacy clients.
- Includes a style prop validator that checks for potential compatibility issues across email clients using Campaign Monitor’s CSS Support Guide.
Installation
To install react-html-email, you can use the following npm command:
npm install react-html-email
Summary
The react-html-email library offers a collection of components that make it easier to create HTML emails using React. While the library is currently unmaintained, it can still be useful as a starting point for building an email design system. Developers are encouraged to explore newer CSS-in-JS and style inlining component libraries for their email development needs. However, if anyone is interested in taking ownership of react-html-email and expanding it to include a generic set of design components for email templates, they can contact the project’s email address.
