novu VS Nodemailer

In the past, I worked for Novu, an open-source notification infrastructure tool, and with my help, it grew to 31k stars in two years.

Let's explore the customization pyramid concept using Novu’s new component as an example. By the way, our source code is open-source and publicly available in the Novu GitHub Repository.

If you would like to check Novu on GitHub, here is the link to their repository.

✅Try out Novu

I'll guide you on how to swiftly build an In-App Notification system for your next app using Novu and the Dev.to API. While it might not exactly resemble the system mentioned above, it'll have many similarities.

PR for Reference: https://github.com/novuhq/novu/pull/5187

Remember, this is just a glimpse into Novu's broad range of functionalities. Hopefully, you've gained a solid understanding of the core workflow. If you're interested in learning more, I highly recommend exploring the project's GitHub repository.

5. Nodemailer

Nodemailer transporter for sending confirmation emails, enabling a smooth double opt-in process;

Nodemailer is a module developed in 2010 to simplify email sending. It has a flexible and easy-to-use interface and utilizes various email services or SMTP servers, including EmailEngine. This self-hosted email gateway allows you to make REST requests against IMAP and SMTP servers. This makes Nodemailer more flexible, as it gives you a choice to use different email services or SMTP servers based on your requirements. Note that while it is free to use Nodemailer, you may incur costs depending on the email service you choose.

The Nodemailer module is used to connect to the SMTP server through the nodemailer.createTransport function, then the email is sent with transporter.sendMail. At the beginning of the function, each parameter of the mail is verified. If something is missing, the status code 405 is returned.

Simple Express backend and then use nodemailer, https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemailer

For email, we’re going to use the very popular nodemailer package. Throw an npm install nodemailer and import it at the top of our function, and we’ll create our transporter instance:

According to my google search (https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/issues/1410) this is caused by a particular function not being implemented in Windows 7. Anyone met this particular problem before? Is there a workaround?

Nodemailer is a popular library for sending emails in Node.js. It allows you to send emails using various transport methods, such as SMTP, AWS SES, and more. In this post, we will be using Nodemailer with TypeScript to send emails from a Next.js application.

I am using nodemailer to send an email e.g. resetting the password. So far this package is working for me and it is easy to use with nuxt. Here is the setup of it https://ibb.co/SyzJ4T9
