使用 nodemailer 发送带有附件和 html 数据的邮件

Question

The problem I ran into is that I can only send an email with attachments OR template data, but I haven't found a way to send both.

Here's my code:

var EmailTemplate = require('email-templates').EmailTemplate;
var template = new EmailTemplate('templates/welcome');
template.render({}, function(err, results) {
  var send = transporter.templateSender({
    from: '<ouremail@gmail.com>',
    html: results.html,
    attachments: [{
      filename: 'file1.png',
      path: 'templates/file1.png',
      cid: 'file1'
    }, {
      filename: 'file2.png',
      path: 'templates/file2.png',
      cid: 'file2'
    }]
  });

  send({
    to: String(user.emailAddress),
    subject: 'Welcome to the Our Site!'
  }, {name: user.firstName}, callback);
});

If I do it the way shown above, the name template variable renders, but the pictures don't show up. If I instead do

var send = transporter.templateSender(template, ...

then the attachments render, and not the template variable.

I know that I could use a templating package like Jade or Handlebars for this kind of thing but that seems like overkill when nodemailer has all of the functionality I need.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I was doing exactly same and I wasted my precious 4 hours to solve this just before Go LIVE.. But finally I found answer to this.

The place to keep attachments is in the send() part rather than templateSender() , so the code should look like this:

send({
    to: String(user.emailAddress),
    subject: 'Welcome to the Our Site!',
    attachments:[{
      filename: 'file1.png',
      path: 'templates/file1.png',
      cid: 'file1'
    }, {
      filename: 'file2.png',
      path: 'templates/file2.png',
      cid: 'file2'
    }]
  }, {name: user.firstName}, callback);

Hope it helps someone!
