Sending Email in JavaScript using Nodemailer

Install Nodemailer via NPM

To install Nodemailer just go to your app directory and run this command

              
                $ cd your-app-directory
                $ npm install --save nodemailer
              
            

Sending an Email

To send an email we can set the transporter first, and then set the message body.
See the code bellow, in my example I assumed we are use Gmail SMTP as mail server.

              
                require nodemailer from 'nodemailer';

                // create a transporter
                let mailTransporter = nodemailer.createTransport('smtps://your-user@gmail.com:your-pass-here@smtp.gmail.com');

                // set-up email data
                let mailOptions = {
                  from: 'Foo Baz ', //sender address
                  to: 'Recipient Name ', //recipient address
                  subject: 'Your mail subject here',
                  text: 'Your mail text here',
                  html: 'If contain html code, put your html code here',
                }

                // sending the email
                mailTransporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
                  if (error) {
                    console.log(error);
                  }
                  console.log('Message sent! ' + info.response );
                })
