In this tutorial i am going to discuss about sending e-mail with Node.js. I have already covered Express.js tutorials and in this tutorial also i am going to use Express.js and NodeMailer<\/strong> package. In many forums and blogs people used to ask about sending e-mail’s using Node.js for account verification, password recovery and promotion. So let’s begin with tutorial and at the end you will have Node application which is able to send e-mail’s to any one’s account.<\/p>\n

What we are Building ?<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Create package.json <\/strong>file and keep it in any folder. Put the below code in it.<\/p>\n

package.json<\/strong><\/div>\n


\n{
\n \"name\": \"email-node\",
\n \"version\": \"1.0.0\",
\n \"dependencies\": {
\n \"nodemailer\": \"latest\",
\n \"express\": \"latest\"
\n }
\n}<\/p>\n

<\/code><\/p>\n

Once done. Switch to that folder using Command prompt or Terminal and type npm install. <\/strong>It will download and install the dependencies our project need. After completion you will able to see node_modules <\/strong>folder in your project directory.<\/p>\n

Implementing Server.js:<\/h2>\n

Let’s begin with creation of our Server file. Paste code shown below in file named as “Server.js”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Server.js<\/strong><\/div>\n


\nvar express=require('express');
\nvar nodemailer = require(\"nodemailer\");
\nvar app=express();
\napp.listen(3000,function(){
\nconsole.log(\"Express Started on Port 3000\");
\n});
\n<\/code>
\nThis is basic block of our app. If you run it in Terminal you will see console message. Now let’s add some routing logic to tell our app what is supposed to do when Request comes from browser. Add these code just above the app.listen<\/b> line.
\n
\napp.get('\/',function(req,res){
\nres.sendfile('index.html');
\n});
\n<\/code>
\nNow when you try to open your app from browser, it will return the index.html as response. Let me show you basic snippet of HTML code.<\/p>\n

index.html<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
