Pre-requisites:

SENDGRID_API_KEY & EMAIL_ADDRESS must be available as environment variables.

From Within your application:

const ipEmail = require('ip_email')
ipEmail()

From Command Line:

ip_email [email protected] 12345

From Crontab:

@reboot ~/.nvm/versions/node/v13.2.0/bin/ip_email [email protected] 12345

The code above will result an email being send to process.env.EMAIL_ADDRESS with body which looks like:

    }
}

Development Setup

• git clone the package

Troubleshooting

• ensure that you have EMAIL_ADDRESS & SENDGRID env variables set up
• .env files are looked up in current working directory(cwd)
• from cron jobs cwd is your home directory, so .env file there would do the trick

Todo

• add toggle for debug logs
