Sending emails in Node.js? [closed]

Answer 1

@JimBastard's accepted answer appears to be dated, I had a look and that mailer lib hasn't been touched in over 7 months, has several bugs listed, and is no longer registered in npm.

nodemailer certainly looks like the best option, however the url provided in other answers on this thread are all 404'ing.

nodemailer claims to support easy plugins into gmail, hotmail, etc. and also has really beautiful documentation.

Answer 2

Nodemailer Module is the simplest way to send emails in node.js.

Answer 3

You definitely want to use https://github.com/niftylettuce/node-email-templates since it supports nodemailer/postmarkapp and has beautiful async email template support built-in.

Answer 4

Complete Code to send Email Using nodemailer Module

var mailer = require("nodemailer");

// Use Smtp Protocol to send Email
var smtpTransport = mailer.createTransport("SMTP",{
    service: "Gmail",
    auth: {
        user: "gmail_id@gmail.com",
        pass: "gmail_password"
    }
});

var mail = {
    from: "Yashwant Chavan <from@gmail.com>",
    to: "to@gmail.com",
    subject: "Send Email Using Node.js",
    text: "Node.js New world for me",
    html: "<b>Node.js New world for me</b>"
}

smtpTransport.sendMail(mail, function(error, response){
    if(error){
        console.log(error);
    }else{
        console.log("Message sent: " + response.message);
    }

    smtpTransport.close();
});

npm has a few packages, but none have reached 1.0 yet. Best picks from npm list mail:

email@0.2.2
mail@0.1.1
mailer@0.3.0
