The mailgun.js npm package is a client library for interacting with the Mailgun API, which is a service for sending, receiving, and tracking emails. This package allows developers to easily integrate Mailgun's email functionalities into their Node.js applications.

What are mailgun.js's main functionalities?

Send Email

This feature allows you to send an email using the Mailgun API. You need to provide the sender's email, recipient's email, subject, and body of the email.

const mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
const formData = require('form-data');
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://api.mailgun.net'});

const data = {
  from: 'Excited User <mailgun@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>',
  to: 'bar@example.com, YOU@YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME',
  subject: 'Hello',
  text: 'Testing some Mailgun awesomeness!'
};

mg.messages.create('YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME', data)
  .then(msg => console.log(msg))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

Validate Email Address

This feature allows you to validate an email address to check if it is in the correct format and exists.

const mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://api.mailgun.net'});

mg.validate.get('test@example.com')
  .then(validation => console.log(validation))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

List Management

This feature allows you to create and manage mailing lists. You can create a new list by providing the list address and name.

const mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://api.mailgun.net'});

mg.lists.create('list@sandbox-123.mailgun.org', {name: 'My List'})
  .then(list => console.log(list))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

Other packages similar to mailgun.js

Mailgun.js

A javascript sdk for Mailgun built with webpack, babel & es6. This can be used in node or in the browser*.

NOTE: If used in the browser, a proxy is required to communicate with the Mailgun api due to cors limitations. Also, do not publish your private api key in frontend code.

Install

Requires node.js >= 12.x

Install mailgun.js with:

npm install mailgun.js

Setup Client

Next, require the module and instantiate a mailgun client by calling new Mailgun(formData) and then using mailgun.client setup the client with basic auth credentials (username: 'api', key: 'key-yourkeyhere').

NOTE: starting from version 3.0 you need to pass FormData (we need this to keep library universal). For node.js you can use form-data library.

const formData = require('form-data');
const Mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
const mailgun = new Mailgun(formData);
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY || 'key-yourkeyhere'});

To use validate and parse methods, you must additionally include public_key. If you're using only those methods, key can be an empty string.

const mg = mailgun.client({
  username: 'api',
  key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY || '',
  public_key: process.env.MAILGUN_PUBLIC_KEY || 'pubkey-yourkeyhere'
});

In the case your mailgun account is eu hosted you would need to define eu's subdomain as url in mailgun's Client constructor:

const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY || 'key-yourkeyhere', url: 'https://api.eu.mailgun.net'});

Methods

The following service methods are available to instantiated clients. The examples assume you have already created a mailgun client as mg with valid credentials.

Method naming conventions:

get or get{{Item}} - expected response for client is a single object
list or list{{Items}} - expected response for client is a list of objects
create or create{{Item}} - expected response for client is a single object
update or update{{Item}} - expected response is an object with a status message
destroy or destroy{{Item}} - expected response is an object with a status message

Node.js example of send file as an attachment

  const fsPromises = require('fs').promises;
  const path = require('path');
  const filepath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../test.pdf');
  let messageParams = {
      from: "Excited User <mailgun@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>",
      to: ["test@example.com"],
      subject: "Test subject",
      text: "Hello here is a file in the attachment"
  }

  fsPromises.readFile(filepath)
  .then(data => {
    const file = {
        filename: 'test-rename.pdf',
        data
    }
    messageParams.attachment = file;
    return mg.messages.create('sandbox-123.mailgun.org', messageParams);
  })
  .then(response => {
      console.log(response);
  })

Node.js example of send multiple files as an attachment

const fsPromises = require('fs').promises;
const path = require('path');
const filepath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../test.pdf');
const filepath1 = path.resolve(__dirname, '../test.jpg');

let messageParams = {
    from: "Excited User <mailgun@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>",
    to: ["test@example.com"],
    subject: "Test subject",
    text: "Test message"
}

(async () =>{
    try {
        const firstFile = {
            filename: 'test.pdf',
            data: await fsPromises.readFile(filepath)
        }

        const secondFile = {
            filename: 'test.jpg',
            data: await fsPromises.readFile(filepath1)
        }

        messageParams.attachment = [firstFile, secondFile];
        const result =  await mg.messages.create('sandbox-123.mailgun.org', messageParams);
        console.log(result);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error(error);
        }
})()

Node.js example of send file as inline image

  const fsPromises = require('fs').promises;
  const path = require('path');
  const filepath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../test.jpg');
  let messageParams = {
      from: "Excited User <mailgun@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>",
      to: ["test@example.com"],
      subject: "Test subject",
      html: '<div><img alt="image" id="1" src="cid:test.jpg"/></div> Some extra text'
  }

  fsPromises.readFile(filepath)
  .then(data => {
    const file = {
        filename: 'test.jpg',
        data
    }

    messageParams.inline = file;
    return mg.messages.create('sandbox-123.mailgun.org', messageParams);
  })
  .then(response => {
      console.log(response);
  })

Browser example of send file

Before sending the file you need to somehow get the Blob of the file. Usually can get it from the onChange event of input tag with type file.

const handleFileSelected = async (event) => {
  const files = Array.from(event.target.files)
  const fileBuffer = await files[0];
}
<input type="file" onChange={handleFileSelected} name="file-uploader"/>

Then you can use the same approach as shown above for node.js apps.

  const file = {
    filename: 'test.pdf',
    data: fileBuffer
  };

  let messageParams = {
    from: "Excited User <mailgun@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>",
    to: ["test@example.com"],
    subject: "Test subject",
    text: "Hello here is a file in the attachment",
    attachment: file
  };

  const res = await mg.messages.create(DOMAIN, messageParams);

Promise Returns:

{
  id: '<20151025002517.117282.79817@sandbox-123.mailgun.org>',
  message: 'Queued. Thank you.'
}

Templates

Mailgun’s templates uses a fork of the very popular template engine handlebars.

To provide values for a substitution you need to use 'h:X-Mailgun-Variables' property in the message description.

Make sure that this property is a JSON string like {"title":"A title", "body":"The body"}.

You can find few examples of how to use templates below.

Providing values for title and slug variables to render in template

...
  const {
    title,
    slug,
  } = someDataSource;

  const mailgunData = {
    from: 'mailer@example.com>',
    to: 'recipient@example.com',
    subject: `Email ${title}`,
    template: 'name-of-the-template-you-made-in-mailgun-web-portal',
    'h:X-Mailgun-Variables': JSON.stringify({ // be sure to stringify your payload
      title,
      slug,
    }),
    'h:Reply-To': 'reply-to@example.com',
  };

  try {
    const response = await mailgun.messages.create(DOMAIN_NAME, mailgunData);
...

Providing an array of objects to render them in the template

  ...
  const mailgunData = {
    from: 'mailer@example.com>',
    to: 'recipient@example.com',
    subject: `Email ${title}`,
    template: 'name-of-the-another-template-you-made-in-mailgun-web-portal',
    'h:X-Mailgun-Variables': JSON.stringify({
    "arrayItems": [
        {
            "question": "test_question",
            "answer": "test_answer"
        },
        {
            "question": "test_question",
            "answer": "test_answer"
        }
    ]})
  };
  try {
    const response = await mailgun.messages.create(DOMAIN_NAME, mailgunData);
  ...

Recipient Variables

Docs

Recipient Variables are custom variables that you define, which you can then reference in the message body. They give you the ability to send a custom message to each recipient while still using a single API Call.

...
 const mailgunData = {
    from: 'Example.com Mailer <mailer@mailer.example.com>',
    to: ['me@example.com', 'you@example.com'],
    subject: 'Recipient - %recipient.title%',
    html: 'Here\'s %recipient.title% and <a href="%recipient.link%">link</a>',
    'recipient-variables': JSON.stringify({
      'me@example.com': {
        title: 'Me',
        link: 'href-var',
      },
      'you@example.com': {
        title: 'You',
        link: 'slug-recipient-var-c',
      },
    }),
  };

  try {
    const response = await mailgun.messages.create(DOMAIN_NAME, mailgunData);
...
