Emails module for Mono

Installation

npm install --save mono-mail

Then, in your configuration file of your Mono application (example: conf/application.js):

module.exports = {
  mono: {
    modules: ['mono-mail']
  }
}

Configuration

mono-mail will use the mono.mail property of your configuration (example: conf/development.js):

module.exports = {
  mono: {
    mail: {
      exposeRoutes: true, // enabled by default on development environment
      provider: { // not required
        name: 'smtp || ses',
        ... //conf of the provider
      },
      from: '[email protected]', //sender email adress (required)
      smtp: // https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/924fafffc09cfeb0267573af2c847cdbfcfa464d/types/nodemailer-smtp-transport/index.d.ts#L47
    }
  }
}

Providers

Mono mail is currently supporting two providers to send your email:

• SMTP provider, using nodemailer with the nodemailer-smtp-transport transport
• SES Amazon, using nodemail with the nodemailer-ses-transport transport.

If no provider is provided the library will remove the /mails/send route and the send method.
