Nodemailer Email Adapter for Payload

This adapter allows you to send emails using the Nodemailer library.

It abstracts all of the email functionality that was in Payload by default in 2.x into a separate package.

NOTE: Configuring email in Payload 3.0 is now completely optional. However, you will receive a startup warning that email is not configured and also a message if you attempt to send an email.

Installation

pnpm add @hanzo/cms-email-nodemailer nodemailer

Usage

Using nodemailer.createTransport

import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@hanzo/cms-email-nodemailer'
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer'

export default buildConfig({
  email: nodemailerAdapter({
    defaultFromAddress: '[email protected]',
    defaultFromName: 'Payload',
    // Any Nodemailer transport
    transport: await nodemailer.createTransport({
      host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
      port: 587,
      auth: {
        user: process.env.SMTP_USER,
        pass: process.env.SMTP_PASS,
      },
    }),
  }),
})

Using transportOptions

import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@hanzo/cms-email-nodemailer'

export default buildConfig({
  email: nodemailerAdapter({
    defaultFromAddress: '[email protected]',
    defaultFromName: 'Payload',
    // Nodemailer transportOptions
    transportOptions: {
      host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
      port: 587,
      auth: {
        user: process.env.SMTP_USER,
        pass: process.env.SMTP_PASS,
      },
    },
  }),
})

During development, if you pass nothing to nodemailerAdapter, it will use the ethereal.email service.

This will log the ethereal.email details to console on startup.

import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@hanzo/cms-email-nodemailer'

export default buildConfig({
  email: nodemailerAdapter(), // This will be the old ethereal.email functionality
})
