Include in the var mailOption the key attachments, as follow:

var mailOptions = { ... attachments: [     {   // utf-8 string as an attachment         filename: 'text1.txt',         content: 'hello world!'     },     {   // binary buffer as an attachment         filename: 'text2.txt',         content: new Buffer('hello world!','utf-8')     },     {   // file on disk as an attachment         filename: 'text3.txt',         path: '/path/to/file.txt' // stream this file     },     {   // filename and content type is derived from path         path: '/path/to/file.txt'     },     {   // stream as an attachment         filename: 'text4.txt',         content: fs.createReadStream('file.txt')     },     {   // define custom content type for the attachment         filename: 'text.bin',         content: 'hello world!',         contentType: 'text/plain'     },     {   // use URL as an attachment         filename: 'license.txt',         path: 'https://raw.github.com/andris9/Nodemailer/master/LICENSE'     },     {   // encoded string as an attachment         filename: 'text1.txt',         content: 'aGVsbG8gd29ybGQh',         encoding: 'base64'     },     {   // data uri as an attachment         path: 'data:text/plain;base64,aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ='     } ] 

}

Your code is almost right, just need to add, "attachments" property for attaching the files in your mail,

YOUR mailOption:

var mailOption = {         from: from,         to:  to,         subject: subject,         text: text,         html: html } 

Just add attachments like

var mailOption = {         from: from,         to:  to,         subject: subject,         text: text,         html: html,         attachments: [{             filename: change with filename,             path: change with file path         }] } 

attachments also provide some other way to attach file for more information check nodemailer community's documentation HERE
