Send email using Nodemailer - Vuemail

1. Install dependencies

Get the @vuemaildev/vuemail and nodemailer packages.

npm install nodemailer @vuemaildev/vuemail

yarn add nodemailer @vuemaildev/vuemail

pnpm add nodemailer @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 a HTML string, and use the Nodemailer SDK to send it.

import { render } from '@vuemaildev/vuemail';
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';
import Email from './email.vue';

const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  host: 'smtp.forwardemail.net',
  port: 465,
  secure: true,
  auth: {
    user: 'my_user',
    pass: 'my_password',
  },
});

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

const options = {
  from: 'you@example.com',
  to: 'user@gmail.com',
  subject: 'hello world',
  html: emailHtml,
};

await transporter.sendMail(options);
