Nodemailer Contact Form

Node.js/Express app using Nodemailer to send emails, from static http POST

For example: fixing contact forms when generating a static wordpress site using WP2static plugin and WPServerless forms plugin

app.js

• GET / (root) results in "health ok"
• POST /send (configurable path) takes form parameters, encodes as JSON, sends email using handlebars template

appWithTestPage.js

• GET / (root) results in a fancy static contact form, that submits to /send
• POST /send (configurable path) takes form parameters, encodes as JSON, sends email using handlebars template

Configuration:

• debugRequests: true
  • This would output debugging information for each request: headers, body pre and post middleware encoding (json, urlencode, multipart)
    • stdout
    • docker logs
    • kubectl logs
• resultPage:
  • html returned on successful submission
• errorPage:
  • html returned upon failure of any type (can't connect to smtp)
• mail: ->
  • body: | #handlebars template, default json formats entire form submission (up to 2000 key:value pairs via multer (no files allowed), 100kb via x-www-form-urlencoded)

        <p>Form submission</p>
        <p>{{{json body}}}</p>  
        If you know exact form elements:
            <p>Form submission</p>
            <p>{{{body.email}}}</p>

TODO testing security? cross domain / CORS requirements? reCaptcha? redirect after completion url, delay seconds? should the success/failure be separate static paths for caching purposes?
