Api2Mailer

This package enables you to test remote smtp/mailer functionality from localhost without changing nodemailer's Api.

What is included?

• A web server. (This Repo)
• An importable package. api2mailer

Web Server

This webserver should be hosted on the same server your main project is using.

It takes in nodemailer's sendMail data via post request and sends the mail on the server.

Hosting the server.

• clone this repo
• run npm install or yarn install
• run node api2mailer cli @makeConfig (Creates env.json)

Env.json Example:

{
  "port": 2222,
  "transporters": {
    "default": {
      "host": "smtp.mailtrap.io",
      "port": 2525,
      "auth": {
        "user": "",
        "pass": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

Start Server

node api2mailer
# OR using pm2
pm2 start api2mailer.js

This will start a server at http://localhost:2222 or using your desired port.

Sending Mail to Server

// Example of how you send mail using `nodemailer`
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer')
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({/* Transporter Settings */})
await transporter.sendMail({/* Mail Options */});

// Example of how you send mail using `api2mailer`
const nodemailer = require('api2mailer')
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({/* Transporter Settings */})
await transporter.sendMail({/* Mail Options */});

The difference between both is: api2mailer proxies your data to your api2mailer-server endpoint which then sends your mail on the remote server.
