Usage

The recommended way to use node-notification-service is to send email and messages. The simplest way to do this is using notifyService.send({}): Below example we are configuring AWS-SES service to send email.

const {Notification} = require('node-notification-service');
let notifyService = new Notification({ aws_ses: true, fromEmailAddress: "your aws-ses configured email address", region: "your ses service region"})
let emailResonse = await notifyService.sendEmail({
                    to: ["emaild whom you want to send the email"],
                    subject: "Your email subject",
                    message: "your email body",
                    html: "<h1>html can be binded here.</h1>"
                   });
console.log("Email sent success by SES service!!");

##Setup AWS-SES service account Follow this link to setup the new account https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps0vpgMyJm4 , if you already have aws console window and follow the video for activating aws-ses service.Once you setup ses account we need verified email address for sending email and also we need region.

Below example we are configuring node-mailer to send email.

const {Notification} = require('node-notification-service');
let notifyService = new Notification({    service: 'gmail',
                                          host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
                                          secure: true,
                                          port: 465,
                                          auth: {
                                            user: 'senderemailAddress',
                                            password: 'senderPassword',
                                          }
                                        })
let emailResponse = await notifyService.sendEmail({
                    to: ["emaild whom you want to send the email"],
                    subject: "Your email subject",

                    html: "<h1>html can be binded here.</h1>"
                   });
