Sails-hook-mail NPM

Mail

The simple elegant way to send emails from a Sails application

Getting Started

npm i sails-hook-mail --save

Usage

In your Sails action you can use the send helper like so:

await sails.helpers.mail.send.with({
  subject: 'Verify your email',
  template: 'email-verify-account',
  to: user.email,
  templateData: {
    token: user.emailProofToken,
    fullName: user.fullName
  }
})

Mailers

Mail supports a couple of mailers including:

log
SMTP

To use Mail, create a config/mail.js and specify your default mailer as well as the mailers you'd like to support in your Sails application like so:

module.exports.mail = {
  default: process.env.MAIL_MAILER || 'log',
  mailers: {
    smtp: {
      transport: 'smtp'
    },
    log: {
      transport: 'log'
    }
  },
  from: {
    address: process.env.MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS || 'boring@sailscasts.com',
    name: process.env.MAIL_FROM_NAME || 'The Boring JavaScript Stack'
  }
}
