Custom Templates and Styling In Custom Themes
When the custom theme for a project did not have any changes. No extra work is needed at this point.
Change the following steps when having any changes over the custom theme in the project.
Inline or style elements are cleared out in the email.twig , varbase_email.twig template file.
Create a new library to attach the needed styles to it
Example: custom_theme.libraries.yml file
Have all custom LTR ( left to right) and RTL ( right to left ) styling in separate files and libraries, to override the default Varbase Email libraries.
Symfony Mailer only allows attaching the custom styling to the template using the default Drupal library system.
The Varbase Email module has two libraries which are attached to the Symfony email template. They can be extended or overridden.
Example: custom_theme.info.yml file in your custom Vartheme generated theme
Symfony Mailer allows each module to have custom email templates and other sending transport.
The default transport service will be used when no custom transport was configured for the module. When a custom or contrib module is trying to send emails.
If the old project had any custom code or custom multiple mailers in the same system. The code should be migrated to configs. Using the Symfony Mailer plugin system.
