Question

I follow this guide to install sendgrid on my azure web service: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/store-sendgrid-nodejs-how-to-send-email

The question is regarding the npm install sendgrid command.

When i run it on my console I get the following error, and the sendgrid do not get installed.

npm WARN package.json azure-mobile-apps-quickstarts.backend.node.try-mobile-apps@0.0.1 No README.md file found!

I also tried to install the package in the script editing portal on azure where I got the following result.

\> npm install sendgrid

I also get this error: typeerror sendgrid.email is not a function when running this code:

var email = new sendgrid.Email({
    to: 'john@contoso.com',
    from: 'anna@contoso.com',
    subject: 'test mail',
    text: 'This is a sample email message.'
});

Looks like the sendgrid package which you are using is deprecated. Please try uninstalling this one and install the one below -

npm i @sendgrid/mail
