How To Send Mail In NodeJS
Posted By : Rajat khurana | 26-Sep-2017
Nodemailer is a module for Node.js applications to send email using Gmail or any email providing service like Mailgun etc. But to use Gmail you may need to configure "Allow Less Secure Apps" in your Gmail account ( configure gmail account ) unless you never able to send email. So, it's better to send mail using Mail Services like MailGun where a sandbox is created to receive mail.
To configure it with Gmail, you need to specify host i.e smtp.gmail.com.
transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 447, // Gmail Port
auth: {
user: account.user, // Gmail id
pass: account.pass // Gmail password
}
});
var mailOptions = {
from: // sender address
to: // list of receivers
subject: // Subject line
text: // plaintext body
html: // html body
};
// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
if(error){
return console.log(error);
}
console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
});
Sendmail function will send mail based on mail options. If you are using some email service then you need to change transporter object.
