Hanami 2: mailer or mail gem

questions
1

Doing stuff with emails has always been a peculiar kind of fun and as splitting the email atom demonstrates, even more so when using emails for auth.

Being restrictive and always up-to-date on versions therefore are key, but looking at hanami/mailer, a bit of dust has settled on it, the dependency on mail is nailed to ~2.7.

I guess, hanami/mailer will eventually join the Hanami 2 set of gems, however, I’m wondering whether this will rather be an evolution or a rewrite (from an API point of view). Or in other words… What’s probably the better approach when only sending simple, transactional mails on Hanami 2 today: Just rely on the mail gem directly or use hanami/mailer to be ready for it’s version 2?

hanami/mailer works with Hanami 2, at least the master version. You can use it. It’s quite thin wrapper over mail gem and I suspect you would end up with more or less the same with writing your own support for mail. At least that’s my (quite limited) experience with it.
