Hi guys,
In this API I will explain how to generate a link to verify email from using firebase-admin and send this link to the user using nodemailer. Let's start now.
- 1 let's create the email-verification folder, inside the folder we will open the terminal and run the following commands:
yarn init -y To start a Nodejs project.
yarn add firebase-admin express nodemail
yarn add nodemon typescript -D
2 Second, let's create a firebase.ts file
require('dotenv').config()
import admin from 'firebase-admin';
import { serviceAccount } from './service'
admin.initializeApp({
credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
databaseURL: process.env.DATABASEURL
});
export const adminAuth = admin.auth()
- 3 Third, we will create the sendEmail.service.ts file which is the body of the message that will be sent to the user:
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer'
import { adminAuth } from '../config/firebase';
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: "Your hsot",
port: 3333,
auth: {
user: "username",
pass: "password"
}
})
export const emailVerification = async (req, res) => {
const { email } = req.body;
const first_name = "Francisco"
try {
adminAuth.generateEmailVerificationLink(email)
.then(async(emailLink) => {
const uid = await (await adminAuth.getUserByEmail(email)).uid;
await await transporter.sendMail({
from: "Francisco Inoque <accounts@franciscoinoque.tech>",
to: email,
subject: "Email Verification",
html: `Hello ${first_name}, to verify your email please, <a href="${emailLink}"> click here </a>`
})
return await res.json({success_msg: "please check in your inbox, we sent verification email"})
}).catch(error => {
return res.json(error)
})
} catch (error) {
return res.json(error)
}
}
- Fourth, let's create the router.ts file:
import { Router } from 'express'
import { emailVerification } from '../services/emailVerification.service';
export const router = Router();
router.post('/send-email-verification',emailVerification)
- And finally we're going to create the server.ts file:
import { config } from 'dotenv'
config()
import express from 'express'
import {router} from './routes/router'
const app = express()
app.use(express.json())
app.use('/api', router)
const port = process.env.PORT || 3033;
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}`));
