Hey Developers!

I have created a tutorial for sending emails from your deno project using third party module called smtp.

Introduction

You can send email from your deno application.
Where we use this thing?
- Sending verification email to the user after his registration on our project.
- Sending emails like monthly newsletter, blogs, etc.

Getting Started

Packages:
- SMTP third party module - https://deno.land/x/smtp/
- Dotenv third party module - https://deno.land/x/dotenv
Importing packages

import { SmtpClient } from "https://deno.land/x/smtp/mod.ts";
import "https://deno.land/x/dotenv/load.ts";

Creating an instance of SmtpClient

const client = new SmtpClient();

Accessing environmental variables

const { SEND_EMAIL, PWD, RECV_EMAIL } = Deno.env.toObject();

Configuring & Creating the connection

const connectConfig: any = {
  hostname: "smtp.gmail.com",
  port: 465,
  username: SEND_EMAIL,
  password: PWD,
};
await client.connectTLS(connectConfig);

Sending the e-mail to the rec. account

await client.send({
  from: SEND_EMAIL,
  to: RECV_EMAIL,
  subject: "Welcome!",
  content: "Hi from Vuelancer!",
});

Finally, closing the smtp client connection

await client.close();

Run the app

$ deno run --allow-read --allow-env --allow-net server.ts

Or else clone this repo and sculpt it!
