@types/nodemailer

What is @types/nodemailer?

The @types/nodemailer package provides TypeScript type definitions for Nodemailer, a module for Node.js applications to allow easy email sending. The types enable TypeScript developers to use Nodemailer in their projects with the benefits of type checking and IntelliSense in their IDE. This package does not contain functionality by itself but adds type support for using Nodemailer in a TypeScript environment.

What are @types/nodemailer's main functionalities?

Sending Emails

This feature allows you to send emails using Nodemailer. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a transporter, configure it with SMTP server details, and send an email with both text and HTML content.

import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';

async function sendEmail() {
  let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: 'smtp.example.com',
    port: 587,
    secure: false, // true for 465, false for other ports
    auth: {
      user: '[e-mail]', // generated ethereal user
      pass: 'password' // generated ethereal password
    }
  });

  let info = await transporter.sendMail({
    from: '"Fred Foo 👻" <[e-mail]>', // sender address
    to: '[e-mail], [e-mail]', // list of receivers
    subject: 'Hello ✔', // Subject line
    text: 'Hello world?', // plain text body
    html: '<b>Hello world?</b>' // html body
  });

  console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
}

sendEmail();

emailjs

EmailJS helps in sending emails directly from client-side JavaScript without needing server-side code. It's different from @types/nodemailer in that it's more focused on client-side environments and doesn't require a Node.js backend or SMTP server setup.

sendgrid-nodejs

This is the official SendGrid Node.js client library. It offers email sending capabilities similar to Nodemailer but is specifically designed to work with SendGrid's Web API. Unlike @types/nodemailer, which is a set of type definitions, sendgrid-nodejs provides a comprehensive API for email services.

mailgun-js

A simple Node.js module for sending emails using the Mailgun API. It offers functionality similar to Nodemailer but is tailored for users of the Mailgun service. It's a more specialized tool compared to the general SMTP support provided by Nodemailer.
