GrapesJS-mjml proved broken on our content (plugin v1.0.8 incompatible
with MJML v5 — canvas stays empty on load). Pivot to easy-email, a
mature OSS WYSIWYG email editor (MJML-based, MIT license, 4k stars).
Architecture: standalone React+Vite microservice deployed at
editor.gigafibre.ca, iframed from the ops UI's
/campaigns/templates/:name page. Talks to the hub's existing REST
endpoints (/campaigns/templates/*) for load + save. The hub stays the
source of truth — easy-email is purely the editing UI.
Scaffold delivered in this commit (Phase 1):
- services/email-editor/ — new top-level service directory
- package.json: React 18 + easy-email-{core,editor,extensions} 4.16.x
+ Vite 5 + TypeScript 5
- vite.config.ts: standard dev/build config, port 5173 in dev
- tsconfig.json: strict-false to keep iteration fast
- index.html: loads easy-email CSS bundles from unpkg (extensions, editor,
arco theme)
- src/main.tsx: React entry, mounts EmailEditorApp on #root
- src/EmailEditorApp.tsx:
• Reads template name from ?name=... URL param (defaults gift-email-fr)
• GET ${VITE_HUB_URL}/campaigns/templates/:name on mount
• Renders <EmailEditorProvider> + <StandardLayout> with our merge tags
map (firstname, amount, gift_url, description, expiry, etc.) so the
Variables panel shows our Mustache placeholders
• On save: JsonToMjml() converts easy-email's JSON → MJML, PUT to hub
→ hub compiles to HTML and persists both files
• postMessage({type: 'email-editor:saved', ...}) to parent window so
the iframing ops UI knows to refresh
- Dockerfile: multi-stage (Vite build → nginx alpine serve). SPA fallback
in nginx config so all routes return index.html.
- docker-compose.yml: container behind Traefik at editor.gigafibre.ca
with Let's Encrypt TLS via the shared proxy network.
- README.md documents the arch, URL params, postMessage protocol, dev
workflow, and the Phase 1 limitation (no MJML→JSON importer — editor
starts from empty page until Phase 3).
- .gitignore: standard node/vite/dist exclusions.
Build verified locally: 83 modules transformed, ~2.8 MB bundle (840 KB
gzipped) — large but acceptable since easy-email packages the full
email builder + drag-drop canvas.
Phase 2 (next): Docker deploy on prod + replace GrapesJS in the ops UI
TemplateEditorPage with an iframe pointing here.
Phase 3 (later): MJML → easy-email JSON parser so existing templates
auto-import into the canvas instead of starting blank.

# Public route — same Authentik forwardAuth pattern as ops UI could be
