Almost all the web applications we create, we need to send emails to users, whether it be a support email or verification one. In the below article we will go through all the steps of sending emails directly with ReactJs.
All we need is a basic knowledge of React and EmailJs account.
So developers fasten up your seat belt! Here we go !! π
1. Creating EmailJs account
- Click on the link and create a free account on EmailJs
- Select the service you want to start with. I am using Gmail Service.
- Connect your account and click on add service.
- You will see Gmail service in added services .
2. Creating mail template
- In your EmailJs dashboard click on Email Templates -> Create New template. Setup your template name and id.
- You can configure the template as per your requirement.
- You can use curly braces for the fields that will receive data from react code as shown below. I have made "To email" field dynamic.
3. Time for some code .. π
- Create a new React App
- Install the EmailJs package using command
$ npm install emailjs-com --save
- Import Email js in your App.js file
import * as emailjs from "emailjs-com";
- Grab the service Id and template id from your template-> Copy Code
- Copy your user id from Account-> API Keys -> User ID
- Modify your App.js file
- Create the handleChange function
And you are done!!!
Woo! now you can send emails directly from react . π
You can find the complete code on my github repository React-Emailjs
