Nodemailer and Amazon SES

Question

My structure:

site
-- node_modules
---- nodemailer
-- webclient
---- js
------- controller.js

site/node_modules/nodemailer
site/webclient/js/controller.js

site/webclient/js/controller.js:

    var nodemailer = require('../../node_modules/nodemailer');

    var transport = nodemailer.createTransport('SES', {
        AWSAccessKeyID: 'xxx', // real one in code
        AWSSecretKey: 'xxx', // real one in code
        ServiceUrl: 'email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com'
    });

    var message = {
        from: '[email protected]', // verified in Amazon AWS SES
        to: '[email protected]', // verified in Amazon AWS SES
        subject: 'testing',
        text: 'hello',
        html: '<p><b>hello</b></p>' +
              'test'
    };

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

This code is part of a controller where all other functions within it work perfectly.

• Is there something I am missing?
• Perhaps I'm calling for the incorrect nodemailer module?
• Or should the transport be SMTP, not SES?

I'm stuck.

Please use aws-sdk directly. It work for me. Hope it will help you.`

let nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
let AWS = require('aws-sdk');

// configure AWS SDK
AWS.config.update({
  accessKeyId: << SES_ACCESS_KEY >>,
  secretAccessKey: << SES_SECRET_KEY >>,
  region: << SES_REGION >>,
});

// create Nodemailer SES transporter
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
SES: new AWS.SES({
  apiVersion: '2010-12-01'
})
});

// send some mail
transporter.sendMail({
  from: '[email protected]',
  to: '[email protected]',
  subject: 'Message',
  text: 'I hope this message gets sent!'
}, (err, info) => {
  console.log(info.envelope);
  console.log(info.messageId);
});
