Attach file with mail in node

In Node.js, you can attach a file to an email using a library such as nodemailer. Here's an example of how to do it:

First, install nodemailer using npm:

npm install nodemailer

Then, create a Node.js script that sends an email with an attached file:

const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

// create a transporter object
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  host: 'smtp.example.com',
  port: 587,
  secure: false, // or 'STARTTLS'
  auth: {
    user: '[email protected]',
    pass: 'your_password'
  }
});

// define the email options
let mailOptions = {
  from: '[email protected]',
  to: '[email protected]',
  subject: 'Test email with attachment',
  text: 'Hello from Node.js!',
  attachments: [
    {
      filename: 'example.txt',
      path: './example.txt' // path to the file you want to attach
    }
  ]
};

// send the email
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
  if (error) {
    return console.log(error);
  }
  console.log('Email sent: ' + info.response);
});

In this example, we create a transporter object using nodemailer.createTransport() and specify the SMTP server settings. We then define the email options using an object, including the from, to, subject, text, and attachments properties.

The attachments property is an array of objects, where each object specifies the file to attach. In this case, we're attaching a file named example.txt located in the current working directory.

Finally, we call transporter.sendMail() to send the email. If the email is sent successfully, the callback function will log a success message to the console.

Note that you'll need to replace the placeholders ([email protected], your_password, [email protected], and example.txt) with your actual email credentials and file path.
