How to use rudders with nodemailer to send emails?

I am using nodemailer to send emails using the following nodemailer-express-handlebars plugin. I have used this Blog post as a link

The code compiles the template welcome

but doesn't uselayout

My code looks like this:

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var mg = require('nodemailer-mailgun-transport');
var hbs = require('nodemailer-express-handlebars');

var config = {auth: {api_key: "key-xxx",domain: "mydomain.com}}
var nodemailerTransport = nodemailer.createTransport(mg(config));

var options = {
    viewEngine: {
        extname: '.handlebars',
        layoutsDir: 'views/email/',
        defaultLayout : 'layout',
    },
    viewPath: 'views/email/'
}

nodemailerTransport.use('compile', hbs(options));

nodemailerTransport.sendMail({
        from: 'from@mydomain.com',
        to: 'to@gmail.com',
        subject: 'Welcome to the XXX',
        template: 'welcome'
    }, function (err, results) {
        if (err) console.log('Error: ' + err);
        else console.log('Response: ' + results);
});

Mine layout.handlebars

has the following code

<html>
<body>
{{> _header }}
    {{{body}}}
{{> _footer }}
</body>
</html>

You are missing an option partialsDir

.

I've tested with the following parameters and it works great:

 var options = {
   extName:'.hbs', /* or '.handlebars' */
   viewPath:__dirname+'/views/email/',
   layoutsDir:__dirname+'/view/email',
   defaultLayout:'template',
   partialsDir:__dirname+'/views/email/partials/'
 }


To use my directory structure:

  • Where script the folder is placed: views

  • Inside this place a folder with a name is placed email

    ("template.hbs" is stored here)
  • Inside your email folder create a folder partials

    (here as example store 'header.hbs')
