How to configure jhipster properties to send mail
To configure JHipster to send mail, you need to set up the mail properties in your application's configuration file. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Create a application.yml
file
In your JHipster project, create a file named application.yml
in the src/main/resources
directory. This file will contain your application's configuration settings.
Step 2: Add mail properties
In the application.yml
file, add the following properties to configure mail settings:
spring:
mail:
host: your-mail-host
port: 587
username: your-mail-username
password: your-mail-password
protocol: smtp
default-encoding: UTF-8
Replace your-mail-host
, your-mail-username
, and your-mail-password
with your actual mail server settings.
Step 3: Configure mail sender
To configure the mail sender, add the following properties:
spring:
mail:
from: your-mail-from
Replace your-mail-from
with the email address that will be used as the sender.
Step 4: Configure mail templates
If you want to use mail templates, you need to configure the template engine. Add the following properties:
spring:
mail:
template:
engine: thymeleaf
prefix: classpath:/templates/
This configuration uses Thymeleaf as the template engine and sets the template prefix to classpath:/templates/
.
Step 5: Update your JHipster application
After updating the application.yml
file, restart your JHipster application. The mail settings should now be applied.
Step 6: Test mail sending
To test mail sending, you can use the MailService
class in your JHipster application. For example, you can send a test email using the following code:
@Service
public class MailService {
@Autowired
private MailProperties mailProperties;
public void sendTestEmail() {
SimpleMailMessage message = new SimpleMailMessage();
message.setTo("[email protected]");
message.setSubject("Test email");
message.setText("This is a test email.");
JavaMailSenderImpl mailSender = new JavaMailSenderImpl();
mailSender.setHost(mailProperties.getHost());
mailSender.setPort(mailProperties.getPort());
mailSender.setUsername(mailProperties.getUsername());
mailSender.setPassword(mailProperties.getPassword());
mailSender.send(message);
}
}
Call the sendTestEmail()
method to send a test email.
That's it! With these steps, you should be able to configure JHipster to send mail using your mail server settings.
