smtp-stub

This project is intended to be used for development purpose only, to simulate a SMTP server and view the received emails. It also contains utilities for easy automated testing.

Usage

Install smtp-stub in your project in dev dependencies

npm i -D @nixfo/smtp-stub

Install smtp-stub globally

npm i -g @nixfo/smtp-stub

Run the servers

npx @nixfo/smtp-stub

Then you will be able to :

• Send your emails to the SMTP port at localhost:1025.
• View your emails at localhost:1024.
• Clear your emails sending a DELETE request at localhost:1024.

Use smtp-stub for automated tests

Construct your SmtpStubServer via the SmtpStubBuilder.

const smtpStub =
    new SmtpStubBuilder(1025, '0.0.0.0') // Port/host of the SMTP server
        .withWebServer(1024, '0.0.0.0')  // (optional) include a web server to visualize received emails
        .build();                        // Build and returns the object

Check the result

expect(smtpStub.emails.length).toBe(1);

If you want to close the servers

smtpStub.close();
