Submitting an ejs template using nodemailer

Question

I am trying to create a web application using express.js. In my application, I use nodemailer to send mail. If I just use it to send the main mail, it works fine; however, when I try to use nodemailer to send a rendered ejs file, the recipient only receives empty mail. So here are the details of my code:

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
                host: 'smtp.zoho.com',
                port: 465,
                secure: true, // use SSL
                auth: {
                    user: '[e-mail]',
                    pass: '123456'
                }
            });
fs.readFile('/test.ejs', 'utf8', function (err, data) {
                if (err) {
                    return console.log(err);
                }
                var mainOptions = {
                    from: '"Tester" [e-mail]',
                    to: email,
                    subject: 'Hello, world'
                    html: ejs.render(data, {name: 'Stranger'});
                };
                console.log(mainOptions.html);
});
transporter.sendMail(mainOptions, function (err, info) {
                            if (err) {
                                console.log(err);
                            } else {
                                console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
                            }
                        });

Here test.ejs (also the result of console.log (mainOptions.html) is excellent, because it correctly prints the line of the processed ejs file (<% = name%> replaced by "Stranger")

<style type="text/css">

    color: #fff;
    padding-top: 15px;
  }
  .header .wrapper-inner {
    padding: 20px;
  }
  .header .container {
    background: transparent;

Answer 1

sendMail fs.readFile.

, readFile ejs.renderFile, HTML. .

var fs = require("fs");
var nodemailer = require("nodemailer");
var ejs = require("ejs");
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: 'smtp.zoho.com',
    port: 465,
    secure: true, // use SSL
    auth: {
        user: '[e-mail]',
        pass: '123456'
    }
});

ejs.renderFile(__dirname + "/test.ejs", { name: 'Stranger' }, function (err, data) {
if (err) {
    console.log(err);
} else {
    var mainOptions = {
        from: '"Tester" [e-mail]',
        to: "[e-mail]",
        subject: 'Hello, world',
        html: data
    };
    console.log("html data ======================>", mainOptions.html);
    transporter.sendMail(mainOptions, function (err, info) {
        if (err) {
            console.log(err);
        } else {
            console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
        }
    });
}

});
