Get Generated HTML as String - Rails

Question

I'm using the SendGrid API and I am trying to find a cleaner way to generate HTML content to send as an email.

I would like to try and use some of my current mailer html template files and pass a database object to them to receive the response, but I am not sure how that is done or if it can be. Here is essentially what I am wanting to do.

@user = User.find(1)
html_content = render "mailers/my_mailer", user: @user
@user.send_html_content(html_content)

Maybe there is a better way of doing this but I'm not sure. Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

There's a gem for SendGrid which will integrate with ActionMailer. Then you can send mail as normal. Is there a reason you can't use that? — Derek Hopper

Look up render_to_string.

It renders and returns a string.
