AWS SES Configuration

In order to use this component, the following configuration needs to be added to a PubSweet application inside a section named pubsweet-component-aws-ses:

• secretAccessKey: the AWS_SES_SECRET_KEY value from the app's .env file
• accessKeyId: the AWS_SES_ACCESS_KEY value from the app's .env file
• region: the AWS_SES_REGION value from the app's .env file
• sender: the EMAIL_SENDER value from the app's .env file

For example:

"pubsweet-component-aws-ses": {
    "secretAccessKey": "process.env.AWS_SES_SECRET_KEY",
    "accessKeyId": "process.env.AWS_SES_ACCESS_KEY",
    "region": "process.env.AWS_SES_REGION",
    "sender": "process.env.EMAIL_SENDER",
  },

In order to use component-aws-ses you first need to have a .env file containing AWS data in the root folder of the starting point of your application.

The .env file contain the following data:

AWS_SES_SECRET_KEY = <secretKey>
AWS_SES_ACCESS_KEY = <accessKey>
EMAIL_SENDER = [email protected]
AWS_SES_REGION = region-name

Then, as soon as possible in your app you should add the dotenv package:

require('dotenv').config()
