Send Emails

This feature allows you to send emails using Nodemailer. The code sample shows how to set up a transporter using Gmail, define mail options, and send an email.

const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  service: 'gmail',
  auth: {
    user: 'your.email@example.com',
    pass: 'yourpassword'
  }
});

let mailOptions = {
  from: 'your.email@example.com',
  to: 'recipient@example.com',
  subject: 'Test Email Subject',
  text: 'Hello world?',
  html: '<b>Hello world?</b>'
};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
  if (error) {
    console.log(error);
  } else {
    console.log('Email sent: ' + info.response);
  }
});

HTML Email Content

Nodemailer allows you to send HTML content in your emails. The code sample demonstrates how to send an email with HTML content.

const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  // transport configuration
});

let mailOptions = {
  from: 'your.email@example.com',
  to: 'recipient@example.com',
  subject: 'HTML Email',
  html: '<h1>Welcome</h1><p>That was easy!</p>'
};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
  // callback
});

Attachments

Nodemailer supports sending attachments in emails. The code sample shows how to attach a file to an email.

const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  // transport configuration
});

let mailOptions = {
  from: 'your.email@example.com',
  to: 'recipient@example.com',
  subject: 'Attachment',
  text: 'Please find the attachment.',
  attachments: [
    {
      filename: 'file.txt',
      path: '/path/to/file.txt'
    }
  ]
};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
  // callback
});

Custom Transport Methods

Nodemailer allows the use of custom transport methods for sending emails. The code sample illustrates how to use a custom transport plugin.

const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const customTransport = require('my-custom-transport');

let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(customTransport({
  // custom transport options
}));

// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail({
  // mail options
}, function(error, info){
  // callback
});
