How do I configure devise to use a custom email layout?

When I say layout I don't mean just simply the views, I generate those. On all my own mailers I'm using a default layout. Which I define in the SomeMailer.rb file

#some_mailer.rb
class SomeMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  layout 'sometemplate'

Is there some way I can do this for the Devise Mailer et al.?

There is also a parent_mailer option in devise.rb, let's say you are sending emails outside of devise, by default this option is set to ActionMailer::Base, but if you have an ApplicationMailer that already is inheriting from ActionMailer::Base, you could change parent_mailer to this and get all your layouts and configurations out of the box.

In any case is a lot cleaner to use this to keep the rails flow of layouts in your applications if you don't want to change anything in the devise mailer controller.

# devise.rb
config.parent_mailer = 'ApplicationMailer'

# application_mailer.rb
class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
    layout 'mailer'
end

Found the answer sitting in the Devise Github wiki,

Reading that helps. ;-)

config.to_prepare do
  Devise::Mailer.layout "simple" # simple.haml or simple.erb
  Devise::Mailer.helper :mailer
end

Here is the reference of the wiki page: How To: Create custom layouts

# Devise::Mailer inherits from ActionMailer::Base other mail will work fine.

## app/mailers/deviser_mailer.rb

class DeviseMailer < Devise::Mailer
  layout 'email'
  default from: I18n.t("mailer.default.from")
end

## then in config/initializer/devise.rb

# Configure the class responsible to send e-mails.
config.mailer = "DeviseMailer"

Make sure to restart your rails server as you changed an initializer.

Try reopen Devise::Mailer class:

 class Devise::Mailer < ActionMailer::Base
   layout 'sometemplate'
 end
