Attach a document in mail using js
To attach a document to an email using JavaScript, you can use the FileReader
API to read the file and then use the multipart/form-data
format to send the file as an attachment.
Here is an example of how you can do this:
// Get the file input element
const fileInput = document.getElementById('fileInput');
// Get the email body and subject
const emailBody = 'Hello, this is an email with an attachment!';
const emailSubject = 'Test Email with Attachment';
// Create a new email message
const email = {
from: '[email protected]',
to: '[email protected]',
subject: emailSubject,
body: emailBody,
attachments: []
};
// Add the file to the attachments array
fileInput.addEventListener('change', (event) => {
const file = event.target.files[0];
const reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = (event) => {
const fileData = event.target.result;
const attachment = {
filename: file.name,
type: file.type,
data: fileData
};
email.attachments.push(attachment);
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(file);
});
// Send the email
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', 'https://your-email-service.com/send-email', true);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data');
xhr.send(JSON.stringify(email));
This code assumes that you have a file input element with the ID fileInput
and that you have a service that can send emails with attachments.
You can also use libraries like emailjs
or nodemailer
to send emails with attachments.
Here is an example using emailjs
:
const emailjs = require('emailjs');
// Create a new email message
const email = {
from: '[email protected]',
to: '[email protected]',
subject: emailSubject,
body: emailBody,
attachments: []
};
// Add the file to the attachments array
fileInput.addEventListener('change', (event) => {
const file = event.target.files[0];
const attachment = {
filename: file.name,
type: file.type,
data: file
};
email.attachments.push(attachment);
});
// Send the email
const server = emailjs.server('your-email-service.com');
server.send(email, (err, message) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log(message);
}
});
This code assumes that you have installed emailjs
using npm or yarn and that you have a service that can send emails with attachments.
You can also use nodemailer
to send emails with attachments.
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
// Create a new email message
const email = {
from: '[email protected]',
to: '[email protected]',
subject: emailSubject,
body: emailBody,
attachments: []
};
// Add the file to the attachments array
fileInput.addEventListener('change', (event) => {
const file = event.target.files[0];
const attachment = {
filename: file.name,
type: file.type,
data: file
};
email.attachments.push(attachment);
});
// Send the email
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'your-email-service.com',
port: 587,
secure: false,
auth: {
user: '[email protected]',
pass: 'your-password'
}
});
transporter.sendMail(email, (err, info) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log(info);
}
});
This code assumes that you have installed nodemailer
using npm or yarn and that you have a service that can send emails with attachments.
Please note that you need to replace the placeholders with your actual email service and credentials.
