Setting mail template in ses client - email

Question

I am developing a web application using cakephp 3.0 and I have an email sending function earlier I was use php mail function. Now I am using AWS ses client. So in that ses client how I can render a template. In cake php email function it was possible. But I don't know how to do it in aws ses client.
My code is
public function testMail() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$client = SesClient::factory(Configure::read('AWScredentials'));
$formData = $this->request->data;
$body = $formData['body'];
$ToAddresses = $formData['ToAddresses'];
$request = array();
$request['Source'] = 's#gmail.com';
$request['Destination']['ToAddresses'] = array($ToAddresses);
$request['Destination']['CcAddresses'] = 'ss#gmail.com';
$request['Message']['Subject']['Data'] = 'Test mail from vcollect ses';
$request['Message']['Subject']['Charset'] = 'ISO-2022-JP';
$request['Message']['Body']['Text']['Data'] = $body;
$request['Message']['Body']['Text']['Charset'] = 'ISO-2022-JP';
try {
$result = $client->sendEmail($request);
$messageId = $result->get('MessageId');
$this->log("Email sent! Message ID: $messageId", "info");
} catch (Exception $e) {
$this->log("The email was not sent. Error message:" . $e->getMessage(), "error");
}
} }

You must create a debug sender in app.php, just add it to your EmailTransport array like this, it's allow you to do a fake email without send it
'EmailTransport' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'Mail',
// The following keys are used in SMTP transports
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 25,
'timeout' => 30,
'username' => 'user',
'password' => 'secret',
'client' => null,
'tls' => null,
'url' => env('EMAIL_TRANSPORT_DEFAULT_URL', null),
],
'debug' => [
'className' => 'Debug',
],
],
after to generate the email with your your template you can use this function for exemple
public function setTemplate($template,$layout = null,$viewVars = array(),$debug = 0)
{
if(empty($layout)) $layout = 'default';
$Email = new Email();
$Email->template($template, $layout)
->transport('debug') //<---- Allows you to simulate the message without sending it
->to(array('foo#bar.org'=>'toto'))
->emailFormat('html');
->viewVars($viewVars);
$Email->send();
/* Once email is generate, personally i duplicate the object for access to the protected proprety ( it's not very clean but i don't have a greatest solution)
The idea is to get _htmlMessage in the object */
$refObj = new ReflectionObject($Email);
$refProp1 = $refObj->getProperty('_htmlMessage');
$refProp1->setAccessible(TRUE);
if($debug == 1)
{
die(debug($refProp1->getValue($Email)));
}
return $refProp1->getValue($Email); // <---- your html code
}
