Installation

Usage

First, you need to import the MailBridge class.

const { MailBridge } = require("mail-bridge"); // CommonJS
import { MailBridge } from "mail-bridge"; // ES6

Then, you need to create an instance of the MailBridge class.

const mailBridge = new MailBridge({
  // First, you need to provide the configuration for the email providers.
  // You can provide the configuration for single or multiple providers.
  // Use environment variables or .env file to store sensitive information.
  config: {
    // AWS SES
    aws_ses: {
      region: "us-west-2",
    },
    // Brevo
    brevo: {
      host: "smtp-relay.brevo.com",
      port: 587,
      auth: {
        user: "user",
        pass: "pass",
      },
    },
    // Gmail
    gmail: {
      host: "smtp.gmail.com",
      port: 587,
      auth: {
        user: "user",
        pass: "pass",
      },
    },
    // Mailgun
    mailgun: {
      api_key: "key-1234",
      domain: "example.com",
    },
    // Resend
    resend: {
      api_key: "1234",
    },
    // Outlook
    outlook: {
      host: "smtp-mail.outlook.com",
      port: 587,
      auth: {
        user: "user",
        pass: "pass",
      },
    },
    // SMTP
    smtp: {
      host: "smtp.example.com",
      port: 587,
      auth: {
        user: "user",
        pass: "pass",
      },
    },
  },

  // Then, you need to provide the default "from" email address.
  defaultFrom: "[email protected]",

  // Optionally, you can provide the priority of the email providers (if you have configures multiple providers).
  // You don't need to provide the priority if you have configured only one provider.
  // It's not mandatory to provide the priority of all the providers.
  // If you don't provide the priority of a provider, it will be considered as the lowest priority.
  priority: ["resend", "brevo", "aws_ses", "smtp", "mailgun"],

  // Optionally, you can provide the default retry count for all the emails.
  // If you don't provide the retry count, the numbers of providers
  // defined in the 'config' will be used as the default retry count.
  retryCount: 3,
});

Finally, you can send an email using the send method.

// You can use async/await
const mail = await mailBridge.send(
  {
    // "from" is optional. If not provided, the default "from" email address will be used.
    from: "sender-email",
    to: "recipient-email",
    subject: "Email Subject",
    text: "Email Body",
  },
  // Optionally you can pass a provider and rety count as the second parameter
  {
    provider: "resend", // Optional. Puts the provider in the first priority.
    retryCount: 3, // Optional. Overrides the default retry count for the specific email.
  }
);

console.log(mail);

// Or you can use Promise(.then, .catch, .finally)
mailBridge
  .send(
    {
      // "from" is optional. If not provided, the default "from" email address will be used.
      from: "sender-email",
      to: "recipient-email",
      subject: "Email Subject",
      text: "Email Body",
    },
    // Optionally you can pass a provider and rety count as the second parameter
    {
      provider: "resend", // Optional. Puts the provider in the first priority.
      retryCount: 3, // Optional. Overrides the default retry count for the specific email.
    }
  )
  .then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error(err);
  })
  .finally(() => {
    console.log("done");
  });
