Question

I am trying to pass a link that contains variables to a mailer model. For such a simple email, I’d rather not use liquid.

controller:

...
@token = @user.authentication_token
link = "<a href='http://www.mysite.com/?token=<%= @token %>' >Click here</a>"
UserMailer.deliver_reminder(@user, @link)

model:

def reminder(user, link)
    recipients user.email
    from "[e-mail]"
    subject "link"
    body "Go here: " + link
end

here’s the way the link gets sent in the email:

<a href='https://www.mysite.com/?token=<%= @token %>' >Click here</a>

thanks!

Answer 1

Using regular string interpolation:

link = "<a href='http://www.mysite.com/?token=#{@token}'>Click here</a>"

Using string concatenation:

link = "<a href='http://www.mysite.com/?token=" + @token + "'>Click here</a>"
