I try to send email via nodemailer but getting error - TypeError: Cannot read property 'method' of undefined
. It looks like sendMail
function is not defined. Any advise please?
P.S. This code for chatbot hosted on AWS
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');
module.exports = function someName() {
// create reusable transporter object using the default SMTP transport
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: '7384093@gmail.com',
pass: '*******'
}
}))
// setup e-mail data with unicode symbols
var mailOptions = {
from: '"nerd studio" <7384093@gmail.com>', // sender address
to: '7384093@gmail.com', // list of receivers
subject: 'Подтверждение запроса \\ разработак чат-ботов \\ nerd studio', // Subject line
text: 'Добрый день! Вы оставили нашему Валере запрос и мы с радостью подтверждаем его получение. В ближайшее время с вами свяжется наш менелдер', // plaintext body
html: '<b>Добрый день! Вы оставили нашему Валере запрос и мы с радостью подтверждаем его получение. В ближайшее время с вами свяжется наш менелдер</b>' // html body
};
// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
console.log(mailOptions);
console.log(info);
if(error){
return console.log(error);
}
console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
});
}
You don't need to install npm nodemailer-smtp-transport, only nodemailer is enough to send email to gmail. But first, go to the https://myaccount.google.com/security google account and scroll down and check Allow less secure apps: ON and keep ON. you will send your gmail email. Here, is the full code -
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
app.post('/contactform', function (req, res) {
var mailOpts, smtpTrans;
//Setup Nodemailer transport, I chose gmail. Create an application-specific password to avoid problems.
smtpTrans = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
service: 'gmail',
// host:'smtp.gmail.com',
// port:465,
// secure:true,
auth: {
user: "xxxxxx@gmail.com",
pass: "xxxxxx"
}
}));
var mailoutput = "<html>\n\
<body>\n\
<table>\n\
<tr>\n\
<td>Name: </td>" + req.body.form_name + "<td></td>\n\
</tr>\n\
<tr>\n\
<td>Email: </td><td>" + req.body.form_email + "</td>\n\
</tr>\n\
<tr>\n\
<td>MN: </td>" + req.body.form_phone + "<td></td>\n\
</tr>\n\
<tr>\n\
<td>Messge: </td>" + req.body.form_message + "<td></td>\n\
</tr>\n\
</table></body></html>";
//Mail options
mailOpts = {
to: "Your_App_Name <xxxxxxxx@gmail.com>",
subject: req.body.form_subject,
html: mailoutput
};
smtpTrans.sendMail(mailOpts, function (error, res) {
if (error) {
// res.send("Email could not send due to error" +error);
return console.log(error);
}
});
console.log('Message sent successfully!');
res.render('contact.ejs');
});
//console.log(query.sql);
});
I have nodemailer currently working this way: Create a file config/mail.js:
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'yourHost',
port: 2525, //example
auth: {
user: 'yourUser',
pass: 'yourPass'
}
});
module.exports = function(params) {
this.from = 'yourEmail';
this.send = function(){
var options = {
from : this.from,
to : params.to,
subject : params.subject,
text : params.message
};
transporter.sendMail(options, function(err, suc){
err ? params.errorCallback(err) : params.successCallback(suc);
});
}
}
And then, anytime I want to send an email:
var Mail = require(path.join(__dirname, '..', '..', 'config', 'mail.js'));
var options = {
to: 'example@example.com',
subject: 'subject',
message: 'your message goes here'
}
var mail = new Mail({
to: options.to,
subject: options.subject,
message: options.message,
successCallback: function(suc) {
console.log('success');
},
errorCallback: function(err) {
console.log('error: ' + err);
}
});
mail.send();
Try this code.First you have to create an app in Google Cloud Console
and Enable Gmail API
from library.Get the credentials of your app.For that click on Credentials
and in the place of Authorized redirect URIs
keep this link https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground and save it.Next in another tab open this link https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/ click on settings symbol on right side.And make a tick on check box(i.e,Use your own OAuth credentials) after this You have to give your clientId and clientSecret.And at the sametime on left side there is a text box with placeholder like Input Your Own Scopes
there keep this link https://mail.google.com/
and click on Authorize APIs then click on Exchange authorization code for tokens
then you will get your refreshToken
and accessToken
keep these two in your code.Hope this hepls for you.
const nodemailer=require('nodemailer');
const xoauth2=require('xoauth2');
var transporter=nodemailer.createTransport({
service:'gmail',
auth:{
type: 'OAuth2',
user:'Your_Email',
clientId:'Your_clientId',//get this from Google Cloud Console
clientSecret:'Your_clientSecret',
refreshToken:'Your_refreshToken',//get this from https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/
accessToken:'Your_accessToken'
},
});
var mailOptions={
from:'<Your_email>',
to:'Your firends mail',
subject:'Sample mail',
text:'Hello !!!!!!!!!!!!!'
}
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions,function(err,res){
if(err){
console.log('Error');
}
else{
console.log('Email Sent');
}
})
I find solution for ,
How to send email from="userEmail" to="myEmail"?
THIS IS TRICK
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer'); router.post('/contacts-variant-2', (req, res, next) => { var name=req.body.name; var email=req.body.email; var message=req.body.message; const output=`
<h3>Contact Details</h3>
<ul>
<li>Name is : ${req.body.name}</li>
<li>Email is : ${req.body.email}</li>
</ul>
<h3>Message</h3>
<p>${req.body.message}</p>
`; var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({ service: 'yahoo', auth: { user: 'create_new_email@yahoo.com', pass: 'password' } }); var mailOptions = { from:'create_new_email@yahoo.com', to:'myFriend@gmail.com', subject: name, text: 'Your have a new
contact request', html:output }; transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){ if (error) { console.log("errors is somthing "+error); res.send(404); } else { console.log('Email sent: ' + info.response); res.send(200); } }); });
Using Gmail
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
// Create the transporter with the required configuration for Gmail
// change the user and pass !
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 465,
secure: true, // use SSL
auth: {
user: 'myemail@gmail.com',
pass: 'myPassword'
}
});
// setup e-mail data
var mailOptions = {
from: '"Our Code World " <myemail@gmail.com>', // sender address (who sends)
to: 'mymail@mail.com, mymail2@mail.com', // list of receivers (who receives)
subject: 'Hello', // Subject line
text: 'Hello world ', // plaintext body
html: '<b>Hello world </b><br> This is the first email sent with Nodemailer in Node.js' // 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);
});
Using Hotmail
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
// Create the transporter with the required configuration for Outlook
// change the user and pass !
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "smtp-mail.outlook.com", // hostname
secureConnection: false, // TLS requires secureConnection to be false
port: 587, // port for secure SMTP
tls: {
ciphers:'SSLv3'
},
auth: {
user: 'mymail@outlook.com',
pass: 'myPassword'
}
});
// setup e-mail data, even with unicode symbols
var mailOptions = {
from: '"Our Code World " <mymail@outlook.com>', // sender address (who sends)
to: 'mymail@mail.com, mymail2@mail.com', // list of receivers (who receives)
subject: 'Hello ', // Subject line
text: 'Hello world ', // plaintext body
html: '<b>Hello world </b><br> This is the first email sent with Nodemailer in Node.js' // 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);
});
Alternatively, if your account is hotmail instead of outlook, you can use the buil-in hotmail service using the following transport:
var transport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP", {
service: "hotmail",
auth: {
user: "user@hotmail.com",
pass: "password"
}
});
Using Zoho
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
// Create the transporter with the required configuration for Gmail
// change the user and pass !
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.zoho.com',
port: 465,
secure: true, // use SSL
auth: {
user: 'myzoho@zoho.com',
pass: 'myPassword'
}
});
// setup e-mail data, even with unicode symbols
var mailOptions = {
from: '"Our Code World " <myzoho@zoho.com>', // sender address (who sends)
to: 'mymail@mail.com, mymail2@mail.com', // list of receivers (who receives)
subject: 'Hello ', // Subject line
text: 'Hello world ', // plaintext body
html: '<b>Hello world </b><br> This is the first email sent with Nodemailer in Node.js' // 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);
});
