To get started run
npm install nodemailingor go the shorter route
npm i nodemailingNow, in your NodeJS project, require Nodemailing.
const { Nodemailing } = require('nodemailing');Now, easily send your email
Nodemailing.send({
Host: //your smtp host,
Username: //your email,
Password: //your email password or app password,
To: //recipient email,
From: //your email,
Subject: //email subject,
Body: //email body,
}).then((message) =>
//anything goes here....
console.log("Email has been sent")
);Tell your recipient to check thier mail, your email just got delivered...!
Create your HTML email template and add the variables you want to modify in {{variable-name}}. Below is a sample.
<div>

</div>Now that you have your HTML template ready. Call Nodemailing render function and pass in the path to your HTML template and the data object containing the values for the variables.
// import nodemialing
const { Nodemailing } = require('nodemailing');
// import the path function
const path = require('path');
// define the path to the HTML template
const filePath = path.join(__dirname, 'relative/path/to/html/file');
// compute the data for the variables
data = {
username: 'Perfection',
githubID: 'Samperfect',
};
// this method uses the await syntax to avoid callback hell
async function createTemp() {
// call nodemailing to render the email
const emailToSend = await Nodemailing.render(filePath, data);
// now call nodemailing to send your mail
Nodemailing.send({
Host: , //your smtp host
Username: , //your email
Password: , //your email password or app password
To: , //recipient email
From:, //your email
Subject: "Welcome Message",
Body: emailToSend,
}).then((message) =>
//anything goes here.... it returns **OK** by default
console.log(message, "Email has been sent")
).catch(error=>{
// who knows, an error might just occur
console.log(error)
});
}
// don't forget to call the function
createTemp()And if you prefer to use .then() and .catch(), then you might as well fall into the callback hell below 😎
// import nodemialing
const { Nodemailing } = require('nodemailing');
// import the path function
const path = require('path');
// define the path to the HTML template
const filePath = path.join(__dirname, 'relative/path/to/html/file');
// compute the data for the variables
data = {
username: 'Perfection',
githubID: 'Samperfect',
};
// call nodemailing to render the email
Nodemailing.render(filePath, data).then(emailToSend =>{
// now call nodemailing to send your mail
Nodemailing.send({
Host: , //your smtp host
Username: , //your email
Password: , //your email password or app password
To: , //recipient email
From:, //your email
Subject: "Welcome Message",
Body: emailToSend,
}).then((message) =>
//anything goes here.... it returns **OK** by default
console.log(message, "Email has been sent")
).catch(error=>{
// who knows, an error might just occur
console.log(error)
});
