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

  subject: 'HTML Email',
  html: '<h1>Welcome</h1><p>That was easy!</p>'
};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){

  attachments: [
    {
      filename: 'file.txt',
      path: '/path/to/file.txt'
    }
  ]

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