Sending mails with attachment via NodeJS

Question

Is there any library for NodeJS for sending mails with attachment?

Answer 1

Yes, it is pretty simple, I use nodemailer: npm install nodemailer --save

var mailer = require('nodemailer'); mailer.SMTP = {     host: 'host.com',      port:587,     use_authentication: true,      user: '[email protected]',      pass: 'xxxxxx' }; 

Then read a file and send an email :

fs.readFile("./attachment.txt", function (err, data) {      mailer.send_mail({                sender: '[email protected]',         to: '[email protected]',         subject: 'Attachment!',         body: 'mail content...',         attachments: [{'filename': 'attachment.txt', 'content': data}]     }), function(err, success) {         if (err) {             // Handle error         }      } });

Try with nodemailer, for example try this:

  var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');   nodemailer.SMTP = {      host: 'mail.yourmail.com',      port: 25,      use_authentication: true,      user: '[email protected]',      pass: 'somepasswd'    };    var message = {            sender: "[email protected]",             to:'[email protected]',            subject: '',             html: '<h1>test</h1>',           attachments: [           {                filename: "somepicture.jpg",                 contents: new Buffer(data, 'base64'),                cid: cid             }            ]        }; 

finally, send the message

    nodemailer.send_mail(message,          function(err) {            if (!err) {              console.log('Email send ...');         } else console.log(sys.inspect(err));            });
