:email: revoltMailer

A package to handle email sending with nodemailer.

Todo

• [] Enable compiler templates like pugjs, handlebars
• [] Tests

Usage

• Install the package

  npm install @revolt-digital/mailer
  # or
  yarn add @revolt-digital/mailer

• Step 1, create one handler file check example in this case: sender.js file, where we can define the transport types we are going to use. import and create transport, Note: Define this transport in server.ts/app.ts (main expressjs file) to use it globally is not a good practice.

import { MailerService, ISendMailOptions } from '@revolt-digital/mailer';

export const sendMail = async (options:ISendMailOptions) => {
  try {
    const sender = new MailerService({
      transport: {
        host: process.env.HOST,
        port: process.env.PORT,
        auth: {
          user: process.env.USERNAME,
          pass: process.env.PASSWORD
        },
      },
      defaults: {
        from: process.env.FROM
      }
    });
    await sender.sendMail(options);
    return;
  } catch (err) {
    throw err;
  }
}

• Step 2, import sender handler and send email`.

import {sendMail} from './sender';

app.get('/email_smtp', async (req:Request, res: Response)=> {
  await sendMail({
    to: "[email protected]",
    subject: "Testing Revolt Mailer module",
    html: "<div>HTML EMAIL</div>",
    text: "text version of email"
  });
  res.send('success')
})
