Hello!
It is now time to implement the final piece of our v2 to v3 migration. Before we dig into writing the code, we would love to get feedback on the following proposed interfaces.
We are starting with the use cases below for the first iteration. (we have completed this work on our C# library, you can check that out for a sneak peek of where we are heading).
The following code assumes you are storing the API key in an environment variable (recommended). If you don't have your key stored in an environment variable, you can assign it directly to api_key for testing purposes.
require 'sendgrid-ruby'
from = SendGrid::Email.new('test@example.com', 'Example User')
to = SendGrid::Email.new('test@example.com', 'Example User')
subject = 'Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun'
plain_text_content = 'and easy to do anywhere, even with Ruby'
html_content = '<strong>and easy to do anywhere, even with Ruby</strong>'
msg = SendGrid::Mail.create(from: from,
tos: to,
subject: subject,
plain_text_content: plain_text_content,
html_content: html_content,
substitutions: {})
client = SendGrid::Client.new(api_key: ENV['SENDGRID_API_KEY'])

response = client.send_email(msg)

For this example, we assume you have created a legacy transactional template in the UI or via the API. Following is the template content we used for testing.
Template ID (replace with your own):
13b8f94f-bcae-4ec6-b752-70d6cb59f932
Email Subject:
<%subject%>
Template Body:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
Hello -name-,
<br /><br/>
I'm glad you are trying out the template feature!
<br /><br/>
<%body%>
<br /><br/>
I hope you are having a great day in -city- :)
