    You can use a Web Request to build an html template using handlebars or any other engine.

    Create a template

    First you must create an html template for the email body. In this example I used a handlebars hbs file.

    Do your design stuff with html and add the variables that you will need in the message:

       <!DOCTYPE html>
   <html>
    <head>
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title>Welcome Email Template</title>
    </head>
    <body>
     <p style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal;">Hi {{data.name}}</p>
    </body>
   </html>

    Create a template request

    You must create the access to this view. Then a request is created where we can send the template name as an url parameter to make the request parameterizable for other templates.

    const web = express.Router()

web.post('/template/email/:template', function(req, res) {
  res.render(`templates/email/${req.params.template}`, {
    data: req.body        
  })
})

    Mail function

    Finally you can send the email after making the request to the template. You can use a function like the following:

    const nodemailer = require('nodemailer')
const request = require("request")

function sendEmail(toEmail, subject, templateFile) {
    var options = {
        uri: `http://localhost:3000/template/email/${templateFile}`,
        method: 'POST',
        json: { name: "Jon Snow" } // All the information that needs to be sent
    };  
    request(options, function (error, response, body) {
        if (error) console.log(error)
        var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
            host: mailConfig.host,
            port: mailConfig.port,
            secure: true,
            auth: {
                user: mailConfig.account,
                pass: mailConfig.password
            }
        })
        var mailOptions = {
            from: mailConfig.account,
            to: toEmail,
            subject: subject,
            html: body
        }       
        transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info) {
            if (error) console.log(error)
        })
    })
}

    This can be done without templates.

    Try changing it to this:

    `Hello ${username}!`

    Make sure that these are not inverted commas but back ticks.

    For those using pug as templating engine

    Just a quick way to render a template in a separate file using pug's render function:

    // function to send an e-mail. Assumes you've got nodemailer and pug templating engine installed. 
// transporter object relates to nodemailer, see nodemailer docs for details
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const pug = require('pug');
function send_some_mail(iterable){
var message = {
  from: 'from@example.com',
  to: 'to@example.com',
  subject: 'Message title',
  html: pug.renderFile(__dirname + 'path_to_template.pug', {iterable: iterable})
};
transporter.sendMail(message, function(err, info){...})
}

// template.pug
each item in iterable
li
  p #{item.name}

    See https://pugjs.org/api/getting-started.html for further details. Note that this will cause template re-compilation every time a message is sent. That is fine for occasional e-mail deliveries. If you send tons of e-mails, you can cache the compiled template to work around that. Check out pug docs for that set up if you need it.

    If you're using Nodemailer 2.0.0 or higher, check this documentation: https://community.nodemailer.com/2-0-0-beta/templating/ There they explain how to make use of external rendering with templates like that:

    // external renderer
var EmailTemplate = require('email-templates').EmailTemplate;
var send = transporter.templateSender(new EmailTemplate('template/directory'));

    They also give this example:

    // create template based sender function
// assumes text.{ext} and html.{ext} in template/directory
var sendPwdReminder = transporter.templateSender(new EmailTemplate('template/directory'), {
    from: 'sender@example.com',
});

    where you see how to pass variables.

    You will need the email-templates module: https://github.com/crocodilejs/node-email-templates and a template engine of your choice.

    Also in the documentation of email-templates you'll find how to make your file structure in order that your templates can be found:

    html.{{ext}} (required) - for html format of email

    text.{{ext}} (optional) - for text format of email style.

    {{ext}}(optional) - styles for html format subject.

    {{ext}}(optional) - for subject of email

    See supported template engines for possible template engine extensions (e.g. .ejs, .jade, .nunjucks) to use for the value of {{ext}} above.

    You may prefix any file name with anything you like to help you identify the files more easily in your IDE. The only requirement is that the filename contains html., text., style., and subject. respectively.

    String replace isn't a good idea because you'll have to restore old strings or create a backup file to be able to change them another time, also it won't be asynchrone and it will cause a problem in every way! you can do it much easier and more cleaner:

    just go to your mail options and add context with your variables:

    var mailOptions = {
  from: 'nginx-iwnl@gmail.com',
  to: 'username@gmail.com',
  subject: 'Sending email',
  template: 'yourTemplate',
  context: {                  // <=
    username: username,
    whatever: variable
  }
};

    next thing to do is openning your html file and call your variables like:

    {{username}}

    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);
        }
    });
});
