# emailjs [](http://travis-ci.org/eleith/emailjs)
|
|
|
|
send emails, html and attachments (files, streams and strings) from node.js to any smtp server
|
|
|
|
## INSTALLING
|
|
|
|
npm install emailjs
|
|
|
|
## FEATURES
|
|
- works with SSL and TLS smtp servers
|
|
- supports smtp authentication ('PLAIN', 'LOGIN', 'CRAM-MD5', 'XOAUTH2')
|
|
- emails are queued and the queue is sent asynchronously
|
|
- supports sending html emails and emails with multiple attachments (MIME)
|
|
- attachments can be added as strings, streams or file paths
|
|
- supports utf-8 headers and body
|
|
|
|
## REQUIRES
|
|
- auth access to an SMTP Server
|
|
- if your service (ex: gmail) uses two-step authentication, use an application specific password
|
|
|
|
## EXAMPLE USAGE - text only emails
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var email = require("./path/to/emailjs/email");
|
|
var server = email.server.connect({
|
|
user: "username",
|
|
password:"password",
|
|
host: "smtp.your-email.com",
|
|
ssl: true
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// send the message and get a callback with an error or details of the message that was sent
|
|
server.send({
|
|
text: "i hope this works",
|
|
from: "you <username@your-email.com>",
|
|
to: "someone <someone@your-email.com>, another <another@your-email.com>",
|
|
cc: "else <else@your-email.com>",
|
|
subject: "testing emailjs"
|
|
}, function(err, message) { console.log(err || message); });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## EXAMPLE USAGE - html emails and attachments
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var email = require("./path/to/emailjs/email");
|
|
var server = email.server.connect({
|
|
user: "username",
|
|
password:"password",
|
|
host: "smtp.your-email.com",
|
|
ssl: true
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
var message = {
|
|
text: "i hope this works",
|
|
from: "you <username@your-email.com>",
|
|
to: "someone <someone@your-email.com>, another <another@your-email.com>",
|
|
cc: "else <else@your-email.com>",
|
|
subject: "testing emailjs",
|
|
attachment:
|
|
[
|
|
{data:"<html>i <i>hope</i> this works!</html>", alternative:true},
|
|
{path:"path/to/file.zip", type:"application/zip", name:"renamed.zip"}
|
|
]
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// send the message and get a callback with an error or details of the message that was sent
|
|
server.send(message, function(err, message) { console.log(err || message); });
|
|
|
|
// you can continue to send more messages with successive calls to 'server.send',
|
|
// they will be queued on the same smtp connection
|
|
|
|
// or you can create a new server connection with 'email.server.connect'
|
|
// to asynchronously send individual emails instead of a queue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## EXAMPLE USAGE - sending through hotmail/outlook
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var email = require("./path/to/emailjs/email");
|
|
var server = email.server.connect({
|
|
user: "username",
|
|
password:"password",
|
|
host: "smtp-mail.outlook.com",
|
|
tls: {ciphers: "SSLv3"}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
var message = {
|
|
text: "i hope this works",
|
|
from: "you <username@outlook.com>",
|
|
to: "someone <someone@your-email.com>, another <another@your-email.com>",
|
|
cc: "else <else@your-email.com>",
|
|
subject: "testing emailjs",
|
|
attachment:
|
|
[
|
|
{data:"<html>i <i>hope</i> this works!</html>", alternative:true},
|
|
{path:"path/to/file.zip", type:"application/zip", name:"renamed.zip"}
|
|
]
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
// send the message and get a callback with an error or details of the message that was sent
|
|
server.send(message, function(err, message) { console.log(err || message); });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
