Description

This is an application built with Next.js to create and send React email templates using React Email and Nodemailer.

Features

• Next.js 13 (App Router)
• TypeScript
• TailwindCSS
• React Email
• Nodemailer
• Email service: Google Mail.

Getting Started

First, install the project dependencies:

npm run install:all

Development

Run the the Next.js app, React Email's preview server, or the both:

  #run root app
  npm run dev

  #run email preview only
  npm run preview

  #run root app and email preview server
  npm run dev:preview

The root Next.js app runs on localhost:3000 while React Email's preview server runs on localhost:3001.

You can start creating or editing email templates by modifying files in react-email-starter/emails. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

Google Mail Setup

To send emails from your Google account, Google requires you to enable 2FA and generate an application password. Follow the steps on that page to create yours and add to your .env.local file.
