Sending email using hapi js and nodemailer

Prerequisites -

1. nodejs and postgresql should be installed.
2. In the config file, update your username and password for node and postgresql server.
3. Install postman to test the api.

Clone the repository and follow the below steps:

  Step 1: Install the npm packages by executing the following command in the terminal

npm install

Step 2: Create database Here, I have used sequelize ORM to create the database. Follow instructions from their official website https://sequelize.org/master/manual/model-basics.html or follow instructions below.

          Step 1: Install Sequelize CLI

npm install --save-dev sequelize-cli

        Step 2: For creating a project execute the below command

npx sequelize-cli init

        Step 3: Update the config file as per your server details

        Step 4: Create model Product

npx sequelize-cli model:generate --name Product --attributes name:string,description:string

Here, I have just added name and description of the Product as our main focus is to send email to the user. You may further details of the Product sch as its price and image.

        Step 5: Insert this model into database

npx sequelize-cli db:migrate

Now, the table Product has been created in your database.

Here, we have completed the step of creating a database.

Step 3: Update sender email address details Go to factory.js file in the factory folder. Update the sender email and password.

Step 4: Testing the api Open postman and execute a post request with below body and gievn api /send/email

{
  "id": "Enter product id here",
  "email": "Enter user's email address here"
}

For testing purpose, enter one of your email address to check if email is received. You will receive the product details in table format. You may add css for formatting the output.

That's all!!! Let me know if this helped :)
