# `Bamboo.LocalAdapter`
[🔗](https://github.com/thoughtbot/bamboo/blob/main/lib/bamboo/adapters/local_adapter.ex#L2)

Stores emails locally. Can be queried to see sent emails.

Use this adapter for storing emails locally instead of sending them. Emails
are stored and can be read from `Bamboo.SentEmail`. Typically this adapter is
used in the dev environment so emails are not delivered to real email
addresses.

You can use this adapter along with `Bamboo.SentEmailViewerPlug` to view
emails in the browser.

If you want to open a new browser window for every new email, set the option
`open_email_in_browser_url` to your preview path.

## Example config

    # In config/config.exs, or config/dev.exs, etc.
    config :my_app, MyApp.Mailer,
      adapter: Bamboo.LocalAdapter,
      open_email_in_browser_url: "http://localhost:4000/sent_emails" # optional

    # Define a Mailer. Maybe in lib/my_app/mailer.ex
    defmodule MyApp.Mailer do
      use Bamboo.Mailer, otp_app: :my_app
    end

# `deliver`

Adds email to `Bamboo.SentEmail`, can automatically open it in new browser tab

# `handle_config`

# `supports_attachments?`
