# Refire Email Client

A lightweight TypeScript client for sending transactional emails through the Refire Email API.

## Getting Your API Key

Before using the client, you'll need an API key:

1. Create a company account in the [Refire](https://refire.email) dashboard
2. Navigate to your company view page
3. Find your API key in a secure, masked input field
4. Click the field to copy your API key to clipboard

Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly or commit it to version control.

## Installation

```bash
npm install refire-client
```

## Usage

Initialize the Client

```typescript
import { Refire } from "refire-client";

const refire = new Refire({
  apiKey: "your-api-key",
});
```

You can optionally specify a custom API URL during initialization:

```typescript
const refire = new Refire({
  apiKey: "your-api-key",
  apiUrl: "https://api.refire.email/v1",
});
```

## Sending Basic Emails

To send a basic email without a template:

```typescript
refire.sendEmail({
  to: "recipient@example.com",
  subject: "Hello",
  name: "John Doe",
  message: "Your email content here",
});
```

### Sending Template-Based Emails

To send an email using a pre-defined template:

```typescript
refire.sendEmailFromTemplate({
  to: "recipient@example.com",
  templateId: "<your_template_id>",
});
```

### Method Chaining

You can also use method chaining if preferred:

Sending a basic email:

```typescript
new Refire("<your_api_key>").sendEmail({
  to: "recipient@example.com",
  subject: "Hello",
  name: "John Doe",
  message: "Your email content here",
});
```

Sending a template-based email:

```typescript
new Refire("<your_api_key>").sendEmailFromTemplate({
  to: "recipient@example.com",
  templateId: "<your_template_id>",
});
```
