I am trying to send the data from the form I created to my gmail account, when clicking the sumbit button I always get the same error. I found a lot of issues about nodemailer, but none of them seem to be the same issue as I am experiencing.
Ofcourse I have stated my clientId but just deleted for this post.
TypeError: Cannot create property 'mailer' on string 'SMTP'

this is my app.js:
// require modules
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const pug = require('pug');
const fs = require('fs')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const pg = require('pg');
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const xoauth2 = require('xoauth2');
//set view engine and views
app.set('views', 'src/views');
app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}));
app.use(express.static('./resources/'));
//display index page
app.get('/', function ( req, res ){
console.log('Index is displayed on localhost');
res.render('index');
});
app.post('/zorginstelling/ziekenhuis-olvg-locatie-west-voorheen-sint-lucas-andreas-ziekenhuis-amsterdam-109428/waardeer', function (req, res) {
var mailOpts, smtpTrans;
console.log('form word gepost')
//Setup Nodemailer transport, I chose gmail.
smtpTrans = nodemailer.createTransport('SMTP', {
service: 'Gmail',
auth: {
xoauth2: xoauth2.createXOAuth2Generator({
user: 'kylevantil14@gmail.com',
clientId: '-' ,
clientSecret: '-' ,
refreshToken: '-'
})
}
});
//Mail options
mailOpts = {
from: req.body.rating[name] + ' <' + req.body.rating[email][first] + '>',
to: 'kylevantil14@gmail.com',
subject: 'Test',
text: req.body.rating[comment] + req.body.rating[questions][behandeling] + req.body.rating[name]
};
smtpTrans.sendMail(mailOpts, function (error, response) {
//Email not sent
if (error) {
console.log('There was a problem')
}
//Yay!! Email sent
else {
console.log('Email sent!')
}
});
});
var server = app.listen(4000, function () {
console.log('Example app listening on port: ' + server.address().port);
});
The nodemailer has been reworked, so old code structure could throw such error. Try use the following structure:
var xoauth2 = require('xoauth2');
smtpTrans = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'Gmail',
auth: {
xoauth2: xoauth2.createXOAuth2Generator({
user: 'kylevantil14@gmail.com',
//and other stuff
Please, check official resource for more details:
The current problem Today for help is the change of information faster, and Alexander was good when he said "nodemailer is reworked";
i use this easy line to define the transporter:
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport("smtps://youruser%40gmail.com:"+encodeURIComponent('yourpass#123') + "@smtp.gmail.com:465");
i got it from here https://community.nodemailer.com/
I had similar problem. 'nodemailer-smtp-transport' module solved it
var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var smtpTransport = require('nodemailer-smtp-transport');
var transport = nodemailer.createTransport(smtpTransport({
service: 'Gmail',
auth:{
xoauth2: xoauth2.createXOAuth2Generator({
user: 'abc@gmail.com',
//and other stuff
install nodemailer-smtp-transport by 'npm install nodemailer-smtp-transport'
This is working for me-
sendEmail: function(account, params) {
// create reusable transporter object using the default SMTP transport
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'Gmail', // sets automatically host, port and connection security settings
auth: {
user: account.user,
pass: account.password
}
});
var toEmail = params.to[0];
for (var i = 1; i < params.to.length; i++) {
toEmail += ', ' + params.to[i];
}
// setup email data with unicode symbols
var mailOptions = {
from: params.from, // sender address
to: toEmail, // list of receivers
subject: params.subject, // Subject line
text: params.text, // plain text body
html: params.html, // html body
attachments: params.attachments
};
// send mail with defined transport object
smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
return console.log('Error while sending mail: ' + error);
} else {
console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
}
smtpTransport.close(); // shut down the connection pool, no more messages.
});
}
Do Note that you will have to turn on less secure apps from google. Visit https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps . Once turned on, refresh the page just to make sure that it actually got turned on (I got it turned on in 4 attempts).
Try below:
smtpTrans = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'Gmail',
auth: {
type: 'OAuth2',
user: 'kylevantil14@gmail.com',
// and other stuff
This worked for me please try it
function sendEmailTechnician() {
// Generate test SMTP service account from gmail
nodemailer.createTestAccount((err, account) => {
// create reusable transporter object using the default SMTP transport
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 587,
secure: false, // true for 465, false for other ports
auth: {
user: '', // generated gmail user
pass: '' // generated gmail account password
}
});
// setup email data with unicode symbols
let mailOptions = {
from: 'text <user@gmail.com>', // sender address
to: 'user@gmail.com', // list of receivers
subject: 'text', // Subject line
text: 'text', // plain text body
html: '<b>text</b>' // html body
};
// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
return console.log(error);
}
console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
// Preview only available when sending through an Ethereal account
console.log('Preview URL: %s', nodemailer.getTestMessageUrl(info));
// Message sent: <b658f8ca-6296-ccf4-8306-87d57a0b4321@example.com>
// Preview URL: https://ethereal.email/message/WaQKMgKddxQDoou...
