In this comprehensive guide, we will explore how to integrate Nodemailer with Next.js 14 or above to enable email functionality in your application. Whether you are building a contact form, sending notifications, or handling transactional emails, this tutorial will provide you with the tools and knowledge needed to set up and use Nodemailer effectively.

At I Plus T Solutions, we understand the importance of seamless communication for modern web applications. One essential feature for many applications is the ability to send emails efficiently. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to send emails using Nodemailer in Next.js 14 or above. Whether you're sending transactional emails, notifications, or any other type of email, this tutorial will help you integrate email functionality into your Next.js application.

Nodemailer is a popular Node.js module for sending emails. It provides a simple and straightforward API for sending emails from your application, making it a great choice for use with Next.js. Some of the key benefits of using Nodemailer include:

Before we dive into the Nodemailer integration, let's set up a basic Next.js project. If you already have a project, you can skip this step.

If you haven't already created a Next.js project, you can do so by running the following command:

1npx create-next-app@latest my-nextjs-email-app

Replace `my-nextjs-email-app` with your preferred project name.

1cd my-nextjs-email-app

Next, install Nodemailer and any other dependencies you might need:

1npm install nodemailer

To use Nodemailer in your Next.js project, you'll need to set up an email transporter. This transporter will handle the process of sending emails. In this example, we'll use SMTP as the transport method, but Nodemailer supports other methods as well.

In Next.js, API routes allow you to build server-side functionality easily. We can use an API route to handle the email-sending logic.

Create a file named route.js in the pages/api/email directory:

1import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';
2export async function GET() {
3    const mailOptions = {
4        from: 'process.env.Email_ID',
5        to: 'personal.vijayji1137@gmail.com',
6        subject: 'We are Testing On I Plus T Solution',
7        html: '<h1>Test Body</h1>'
8    };
9    const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
10        host: "smtp.hostinger.com",
11        port: 465,
12        secure: true,
13        auth: {
14            user: 'process.env.Email_ID',
15            pass: 'process.env.Email_PASSWORD',
16        },
17    });
18    const res = await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions);
19    return Response.json(res)
20}

Run the following command to start your development server:

1npm run dev

Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:3000/api/email`.

If everything is set up correctly, you should receive the email at the specified address. Check your email inbox and spam folder to verify.

Integrating Nodemailer into your Next.js 14 or above application provides a robust solution for sending emails. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can easily set up email functionality and start sending emails from your Next.js application. Whether you're building a contact form, sending notifications, or handling transactional emails, Nodemailer offers a powerful and flexible solution to meet your needs.
