React Form: How to send email using Nodemailer

Question

I am trying to send mail to my GoDaddy email from my website contact box using NodeMailer . But when sending it I am getting 500 error of net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE .

I have gone through some of the solution from SO as well but it seems I have missed some seetings or so. Should I need to change my configuration or anything related to get emails in godaddy mail box? Any suggestion what needs to be done here.

//ReactForm

class BookAConsultation extends Component{
    constructor(props){
        super(props);
        this.state={
            name: '',
            phone: '',
            email: '',
            comment: ''
        };
        this.handleOnChange = this.handleOnChange.bind(this);
        this.handleOnSubmit = this.handleOnSubmit.bind(this);
    }

    handleOnChange = (e) => {
        this.setState({ [e.target.name] : e.target.value });
    }

    async handleOnSubmit(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        const { name,  phone, email, comment } = this.state;
        const bookConsultation = await axios.post('api/consultation',{
            name,
            phone,
            email,
            comment
        })
    }

It seems everything is correct, that error appears when the server doesn't response anything and frontend side is waiting for an answer, so in your sendMail callback just try to use:

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (err, info) => {
  if (error) {
    // ERROR SERVER RESPONSE
    res.status(500).send({status: 'FAIL', msg: 'Internal error: email not sent'})
    ...
  } else {
    ...
    // SUCCESS SERVER RESPONSE
    res.status(200).json({status: 'OK', msg: 'Email sent'})
    ...
  }
});

This should resolve the problem.
