Plugin: Add Mail Transport
==========================

By default Kanboard supports 3 standards mail transports:

- Mail (PHP mail function)
- Smtp
- Sendmail command

With the plugin API you can add a driver for any email provider.
For example, your plugin can add a mail transport for a provider that uses an HTTP API.

Implementation
--------------

Your plugin must implement the interface `Kanboard\Core\Mail\ClientInterface` and extends from `Kanboard\Core\Base`.

The only method you need to implement is `sendEmail()`:

```php
interface ClientInterface
{
    /**
     * Send a HTML email
     *
     * @access public
     * @param  string  $email
     * @param  string  $name
     * @param  string  $subject
     * @param  string  $html
     * @param  string  $author
     */
    public function sendEmail($email, $name, $subject, $html, $author);
}
```

To register your new mail transport, use the method `setTransport($transport, $class)` from the class `Kanboard\Core\Mail\Client`:

```php
$this->emailClient->setTransport('myprovider', '\Kanboard\Plugin\MyProvider\MyEmailHandler');
```

The second argument contains the absolute name space of your concrete class.
