I recently started programming my first node.js. However, I discovered that I am unable to create a contact me form that sends straight to my email since I can't find any modules from node that is able to send emails.

Does anyone know of a node.js email library or an sample contact form script?

Answer 1

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: "[e-mail]",
        pass: "gmail_password"
    }
});

var mail = {
    from: "Yashwant Chavan <[e-mail]>",
    to: "[e-mail]",
    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);
    }

Answer 3

campaign is a comprehensive solution for sending emails in Node, and it comes with a very simple API.

You instance it like this.

var client = require('campaign')({
  from: '[e-mail]'
});

To send emails, you can use Mandrill, which is free and awesome. Just set your API key, like this:

process.env.MANDRILL_APIKEY = '<your api key>';

_{(if you want to send emails using another provider, check the docs)}

Then, when you want to send an email, you can do it like this:

client.sendString('<p>{{something}}</p>', {
  to: ['[e-mail]', '[e-mail]'],
  subject: 'Some Subject',
  preview': 'The first line',
  something: 'this is what replaces that thing in the template'
}, done);

The GitHub repo has pretty extensive documentation.

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
