Nuxt Mailer

nuxt-mailer is a module for integrating node mailer into your nuxt application. If you need any information not found in this readme, check the node mailer docs.

Usage

Install

npm install nuxt-mailer

yarn add nuxt-mailer

Add 'nuxt-mailer' to nuxt.config modules array

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-mailer']
  })

.env

Note: which environment variables you need will depend on your email provider. I've added a few examples for your convenience. Keep in mind, you are free to add a custom transporter and add whatever is needed.

Here's a list of possible environment variables

NUXT_MAILER_LOG
NUXT_MAILER_DRIVER=
NUXT_MAILER_HOST=
NUXT_MAILER_PORT=
NUXT_MAILER_USER=
NUXT_MAILER_PASS=
NUXT_MAILER_SMTP_TLS=
NUXT_MAILER_ENCRYPTION=
NUXT_MAILER_FROM_ADDRESS=
NUXT_MAILER_FROM_NAME=
NUXT_MAILER_TO_ADDRESS=
NUXT_MAILER_TO_NAME=

.env (gmail example)

NUXT_MAILER_LOG=yes
[email protected]
NUXT_MAILER_PASS=yourGmailAppPassword

.env (testing with mailhog example)

NUXT_MAILER_LOG=yes
NUXT_MAILER_DRIVER=smtp
NUXT_MAILER_HOST=localhost
NUXT_MAILER_PORT=1025
NUXT_MAILER_USER=null
NUXT_MAILER_PASS=null
NUXT_MAILER_SMTP_TLS=no
NUXT_MAILER_ENCRYPTION=null
NUXT_MAILER_FROM_ADDRESS="[email protected]"
NUXT_MAILER_FROM_NAME="Example User"
NUXT_MAILER_TO_ADDRESS="[email protected]"
NUXT_MAILER_TO_NAME="nuxt-mailer"

Example Usage:

Gmail

If you use gmail you need to set up an app password. Just using your normal password won't work. You can google for more info on that topic.

Firstly as mentioned before, we'll have to add our info to the .env

.env

[email protected]
NUXT_MAILER_PASS=yourGmailAppPassword

Now let's add the necessary config

nuxt.config.ts

Note: setting the runtimeConfig values to blank strings is intentional. Nuxt will replace those blank strings with environment variables.

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    NuxtMailer
  ],
  mailer: {
    addPlugin: true
  },
  runtimeConfig: {
    mailerUser: '',
    mailerPass: '',
    mailerLog: '',  }
})

You can send the email however you like, but for the sake of simplicity, I'll use an end point that sends the email directly

~/server/api/gmail.ts (note: the endpoint is arbitrary)

import sendVerificationGmail from '../app/email/verifyGmail'

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  try {
    return await sendVerificationGmail('[email protected]')
  } catch (error) {
    return sendError(event, createError(error as string))
  }
})

~/server/email/verifyGmail.ts

import verifyEmailTemplate from './templates/verifyEmailTemplate'
import { sendGmail } from './gmailSender'

export default async function sendVerificationGmail (email: string) {
  const template = verifyEmailTemplate('example-otp', 'nuxt-mailer', 'Nuxt Mailer Support', 'Nuxt Mailer')
  return await sendGmail({ template, to: email, from: '[email protected]', subject: 'Nuxt Mailer email verification' })
}

~/server/app/email/sendGmail.ts

import { EmailTemplate } from './types/emailTypes'
import { useMailer } from '#mailer'

type SendMail = {template: EmailTemplate, to: string, from: string, subject: string}

export async function sendGmail (request: SendMail) {
  const mailService = useMailer()
  const gmailTransporter = mailService.gmailTransporter()

  return await mailService.sendMail({
    requestId: 'test-key',
    options: {
      to: request.to,
      subject: request.subject,
      text: request.template.text,
      html: request.template.html
    },
    transporter: gmailTransporter
  })
}

~/server/app/email/templates/verifyEmailTemplate.ts

import { EmailTemplate } from '../types/emailTypes'

const verifyEmailTemplate = function (
  otp: string,
  supportEmail: string,
  supportName: string,
  accountName: string
): EmailTemplate {

export default verifyEmailTemplate

Smtp Example

If you're using a non gmail smtp email service, you can omit creating a transporter all together. You can create one, but it's only necessary if you have some special need not covered by the default transporter.

The default transporter will use the runtimeConfig values set in the nuxt.config.ts

.env (mailhog example)

NUXT_MAILER_LOG=yes
NUXT_MAILER_DRIVER=smtp
NUXT_MAILER_HOST=localhost
NUXT_MAILER_PORT=1025
NUXT_MAILER_USER=null
NUXT_MAILER_PASS=null
NUXT_MAILER_SMTP_TLS=no
NUXT_MAILER_ENCRYPTION=null
NUXT_MAILER_FROM_ADDRESS="[email protected]"
NUXT_MAILER_FROM_NAME="your name"
NUXT_MAILER_TO_ADDRESS="[email protected]"
NUXT_MAILER_TO_NAME="nuxt-mailer"

nuxt.config.ts

import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt/config'
import NuxtMailer from '..'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-mailer'],
  runtimeConfig: {
    mailerUser: '',
    mailerPass: '',
    mailerLog: '',
    mailerDriver: '',
    mailerHost: '',
    mailerPort: '',
    mailerSmtpTls: '',
    mailerFromAddress: '',
    mailerToAddress: ''
  }
})

~/service/app/email/emailSender.ts

import { EmailTemplate } from './types/emailTypes'
import { useMailer } from '#mailer'

type SendMail = {template: EmailTemplate, to: string, fromEmail: string, fromName: string, subject: string}

export async function sendEmail (request: SendMail) {
  const mailService = useMailer()

  return await mailService.sendMail({
    requestId: 'test-key',
    options: {
      fromEmail: request.fromEmail,
      fromName: request.fromName,
      to: request.to,
      subject: request.subject,
      text: request.template.text,
      html: request.template.html
    }
  })
}

I omitted all the stuff that's the same as the gmail example.

Custom Transporter

Note: see the node-mailer docs for more information

  const customTransporter = mailService.customTransporter(...)

  return await mailService.sendMail({
    requestId: 'test-key',
    options: {
      to: request.to,
      subject: request.subject,
      text: request.template.text,
      html: request.template.html
    },
    transporter: customTransporter
  })
}

sending attachments Example:

import { EmailTemplate } from './types/emailTypes'
import { useMailer } from '#mailer'
import { resolvePath } from '@nuxt/kit'

type SendMail = { template: EmailTemplate, to: string, fromEmail: string, fromName: string, subject: string }

export async function sendEmail(request: SendMail) {
  const mailService = useMailer()

  const filePath = await resolvePath('playground/server/app/email/test.pdf')

  return await mailService.sendMail({
    requestId: 'test-key',
    options: {
      fromEmail: request.fromEmail,
      fromName: request.fromName,
      to: request.to,
      subject: request.subject,
      text: request.template.text,
      html: request.template.html,
      attachments: [{
        filename: 'file.pdf',
        path: filePath,
        contentType: 'application/pdf'
      }],
    }
  })
}

Development

Run npm run dev:prepare to generate type stubs.
Use npm run dev to start playground in development mode.
To start Mailhog docker-compose up -d (must have docker installed)

you can send emails via the buttons on the homepage.
