Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js version 0.10, 0.12 or 4
• The SendGrid service, starting at the free level

Setup Environment Variables

Update your environment with your SENDGRID_API_KEY.

echo "export SENDGRID_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'" > sendgrid.env
echo "sendgrid.env" >> .gitignore
source ./sendgrid.env

Install Package

The following recommended installation requires npm. If you are unfamiliar with npm, see the npm docs. Npm comes installed with Node.js since node version 0.8.x therefore you likely already have it.

  ...
  "dependencies": {
    ...

  }
}

Install sendgrid-nodejs and its dependencies:

Quick Start

Hello Email

  var helper = require('sendgrid').mail
  from_email = new helper.Email("[email protected]")
  to_email = new helper.Email("[email protected]")
  subject = "Hello World from the SendGrid Node.js Library"
  content = new helper.Content("text/plain", "some text here")
  mail = new helper.Mail(from_email, subject, to_email, content)

  var sg = require('sendgrid').SendGrid(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY)
  var requestBody = mail.toJSON()
  var request = sg.emptyRequest()
  request.method = 'POST'
  request.path = '/v3/mail/send'
  request.body = requestBody
  sg.API(request, function (response) {
    console.log(response.statusCode)
    console.log(response.body)
    console.log(response.headers)
  })

General v3 Web API Usage
