Create the template foo:

-H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.node-templater-mailer-microservice.v1+json; charset=utf-8' \
--data '{"subject":"Mail for <%= name %>","html":"Hello <%= name %>"}'

Create the SMTP transport bar:

curl -v -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:3000/smtp_credentials/bar \
-H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.node-templater-mailer-microservice.v1+json; charset=utf-8' \
--data '{"dsn":"smtp://john:[email protected]:25","email":"[email protected]","name":"Example Inc."}'

Send an email using the transport bar and the template foo:

curl -v -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/send/bar/foo \
-H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.node-templater-mailer-microservice.v1+json; charset=utf-8' \
--data '{"to":"[email protected]","name":"John Doe"}'

The subject and the html part of the template will be parsed through lodash's template function with the data provided in the body of this request.
