Is it possible to send emails only with the client-side?

Question

I need to send emails in a front-end application that I'm using Vue.js, I would like to know if it's possible to send mail only with Javascript .. or do I need a server-side language for this? Thank you!

Answer 1

所有电子邮件都是通过某种服务器发送的，因此您需要在线使用 API 或托管可以发送和接收邮件的服务器（ Gmail 的 API要求您托管服务器）。

Answer 2

It is possible but not practical. You can use smtpjs.com. After you setup all the information, add these to your html:

HTML -> Head:

<script src="https://smtpjs.com/v2/smtp.js"></script>

JS

Email.send("from@you.com",
"to@them.com",
"This is a subject",
"this is the body",
"smtp.yourisp.com",
"username",
"password");

If you don't want to send your credentials over http, there's also a way to encrypt it as well.

You can encrypt your SMTP credentials, and lock it to a single domain, and pass a secure token instead of the credentials instead, for example:

Email.send("from@you.com",
"to@them.com",
"This is a subject",
"this is the body",
{token: "63cb3a19-2684-44fa-b76f-debf422d8b00"});

Answer 3

No you can't send an email directly with javascript. But you can open user's mail client like this:

window.open('mailto:abc@example.com?subject=subject&body=body');

Where subject and body are optional parameters. I found it here .

Answer 4

不，您不能从 javascript 或 Html 客户端发送电子邮件，因为它生成的 OTP 页面必须经过验证，然后它必须是服务器或使用任何第三方 API，您可以通过它发送电子邮件。

Answer 5

In theory no, you can not. However, there are options nowadays to send e-mail from the client side using third party services such as FormSpree and EmailJS .
