Building Protocols

If you want to build your own protocol you will have to do the following
  1. 1.
    Create a CFC that inherits from cbmailservices.models.AbstractProtocol
  2. 2.
    Create the init() and send() methods
  3. 3.
    Give your protocol a name in the init() via the variables.name variable.
  4. 4.
    Register it in the mailers section of the configuration
Here are the method signatures of the two methods to implement:
/**
* Constructor
*
* @properties The protocol properties to instantiate
*/
function init( struct properties = {} ){
variables.properties = arguments.properties;
variables.name = "MyProtocol";
return this;
}
/**
* Implemented by concrete protocols to send a message.
*
* The return is a struct with a minimum of the following two keys
* - `error` - A boolean flag if the message was sent or not
* - `messages` - An array of messages the protocol stored if any when sending the payload
*
* @payload The paylod object to send the message with
* @payload.doc_generic cbmailservices.models.Mail
*
* @return struct of { "error" : boolean, "messages" : [] }
*/
struct function send( required cbmailservices.models.Mail payload ){
}
That's it!
