I want to send email with nodemailer using html template. In that template I need to inject some dynamically some variables and I really can\'t do that. My code:
What you can do is read the HTML file using fs
module in node and then replace the elements that you want changed in the html string using handlebars
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');
var handlebars = require('handlebars');
var fs = require('fs');
var readHTMLFile = function(path, callback) {
fs.readFile(path, {encoding: 'utf-8'}, function (err, html) {
if (err) {
throw err;
callback(err);
}
else {
callback(null, html);
}
});
};
smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
host: mailConfig.host,
secure: mailConfig.secure,
port: mailConfig.port,
auth: {
user: mailConfig.auth.user,
pass: mailConfig.auth.pass
}
}));
readHTMLFile(__dirname + 'app/public/pages/emailWithPDF.html', function(err, html) {
var template = handlebars.compile(html);
var replacements = {
username: "John Doe"
};
var htmlToSend = template(replacements);
var mailOptions = {
from: 'my@email.com',
to : 'some@email.com',
subject : 'test subject',
html : htmlToSend
};
smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, function (error, response) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
callback(error);
}
});
});
