Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Nodemailer plugin for handling inline Base64 images as attachments

This plugin will convert base64-encoded images in your nodemailer email to be inline ("CID-referenced") attachments within the email. Inline attachments are useful because them embed the image inside the actual email, so it's viewable even if the user is checking their email without an internet connection. But if you're OK with requiring that the user be online to see the image, then consider hosting your images from AWS Cloudfront using nodemailer-base64-to-s3.

Base64 images are generally a bad idea because they aren't supported in most email clients. This Nodemailer plugin will take base64 images in your email html in the form:

<img src="data:image/*;base64,...">

and replace it with a CID-referenced attachment that works in all email clients.

Install

yarn add nodemailer-plugin-inline-base64

or

npm install nodemailer-plugin-inline-base64 --save

Usage

1. Load the nodemailer-plugin-inline-base64 plugin:

var inlineBase64 = require('nodemailer-plugin-inline-base64');

2. Attach it as a 'compile' handler for a nodemailer transport object

nodemailerTransport.use('compile', inlineBase64(options))

Options allow to set CID prefix1 {cidPrefix: 'somePrefix_'}, then all inline images will have prefix in cid, i.e.: cid:somePrefix_5fe3b631c651bdb1. If you don't need this, you can use inlineBase64 plugin without options.

Example

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var inlineBase64 = require('nodemailer-plugin-inline-base64');
transporter.use('compile', inlineBase64({cidPrefix: 'somePrefix_'}));
transporter.sendMail({
    from: '[email protected]',
    to: '[email protected]',
    html: '&lt;img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAlgAAAACCAYAAACE7KJkAAAAI0lEQVRYR+3DMQ0AAAgDsKlFzZxgEhOcbdIEAIBf7Y6qqn8P0MMQZPno7TMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=">'
});

References

1 It might be useful for reply email processing, example with MailParser

mp.on("attachment", function(attachment, mail){
    if (!attachment.contentId.includes('somePrefix')) { // process only images attached by user in reply
        // ...
    }
});
