Library Flow for Email
Summary
A simplified diagram of the libraries involved when Dotkernel API sends an email, from the service that triggers the message through template rendering to the mail transport.

The graph below demonstrates the simplified flow between Dotkernel's libraries for sending an email.
FAQ
Q: Which libraries handle email in Dotkernel API?
A: dot-mail handles composing and transporting the message, while the templating layer renders the message body.
See Rendering and sending emails.
Q: Where do I configure the mail transport?
A: In the mail configuration under config/autoload/.
See Configuration files.
Q: Can I send email without using the template renderer?
A: Yes. The renderer is only needed when the message body comes from a template; you can also set the body directly on the message.
Q: Why is the email flow shown separately from the default library flow?
A: Because sending email is a side flow triggered from a service rather than part of the request pipeline. Keeping it separate makes both diagrams easier to read.
