node-mail

Basic mail sender

Implement a repository for easily sending mails. It uses nodemailer and all methods return promises.

Usage

First install dependencies:

yarn add anxolin/node-mail --save # npm install anxolin/mail --save

Then, use it:

const nodeMail = require('node-mail')({
  user: 'your-user',
  password: 'your-password',
  host: 'your-password'
})

// Verify the connection
nodeMail
  .verify()
  .then(success => console.log('Mail connection result: %s', success))
  .catch(console.error)

nodeMail
  .sendMail({
    from: '[e-mail]',
    to: '[e-mail]',
    subject: 'Hi there ✔',
    text: 'How are you doing?',
    html: 'How are <b>you</b> doing?'
  })
  .then(mailInfo => console.log('Mail sent: %s', mailInfo.messageId))
  .catch(console.error)

Config

const nodeMail = require('node-mail')(config)

Where config may contain:

password	Yes	Password for the mail authentication
host	Yes	Mail server host
port	No. Default 587	Port
secure	No. Default false	Secure

Send a test mail

To test, execute:

yarn install

# Execute
MAIL_USER=[e-mail] \
MAIL_PASSWORD=your-pass-here \
HOST=mail.example.com \
FROM=[e-mail] \
TO=[e-mail] \
SUBJECT="Hi there ✔" \
TEXT="How are you doing?" \
HTML="How are <b>you</b> doing?" \
yarn send-mail

Create a .env file

A simpler approach to execute the mail sender is to create a .env file:

MAIL_USER=[e-mail]
MAIL_PASSWORD=your-pass-here
HOST=mail.example.com
FROM=[e-mail]
TO=[e-mail]
SUBJECT="Hi there ✔"
TEXT="How are you doing?"
HTML="How are <b>you</b> doing?"

yarn send-mail

Execute the tests

yarn test
