Send email using AWS SES - Vuemail

1. Install dependencies

Get the @vuemaildev/vuemail package and the AWS SES Node.js SDK.

npm install @aws-sdk/client-ses @vuemaildev/vuemail

yarn add @aws-sdk/client-ses @vuemaildev/vuemail

pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-ses @vuemaildev/vuemail

2. Create an email using Vue

Start by building your email template in a .vue file.

email.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Button, Html } from '@vuemaildev/vuemail';

const { url } = defineProps<{ url: string }>();
</script>

<template>
  <Html lang="en">
    <Button :href="url">Click me</Button>
  </Html>
</template>

3. Convert to HTML and send email

Import the email template you just built, convert into an HTML string, and use the AWS SES SDK to send it.

import type { SendEmailCommandInput } from "@aws-sdk/client-ses";
import { render } from '@vuemaildev/vuemail';
import { SES } from '@aws-sdk/client-ses';
import Email from './email.vue';

const ses = new SES({ region: process.env.AWS_SES_REGION })

const emailHtml = await render(Email, { url: 'https://example.com' });

const params: SendEmailCommandInput = {
  Source: 'you@example.com',
  Destination: {
    ToAddresses: ['user@gmail.com'],
  },
  Message: {
    Body: {
      Html: {
        Charset: 'UTF-8',
        Data: emailHtml,
      },
    },
    Subject: {
      Charset: 'UTF-8',
      Data: 'hello world',
    },
  },
};

await ses.sendEmail(params);
