nodemailer-stub

Nodemailer-stub comes with a stub transport for Nodemailer. The Stub stores the messages in memory but mimics real mail behaviour. It also contains a smart testing class called InteractsWithMail, which allows users to access, read, count and flush the messages in memory in their testing environment.

Installation

$ yarn add nodemailer-stub -D
#... or via npm
$ npm install nodemailer-stub --save-dev

Usage

This is an example use case for the Stub.

import { stubTransport } from 'nodemailer-stub'
import nodeMailer from 'nodemailer'

let transport = nodeMailer.createTransport(stubTransport)

let mail = await transport.sendMail({
  from: '[email protected]',
  to: '[email protected]',
  subject: 'Nodemailer stub works!',
  text: 'Wohoo'
})

We've also included a testing utility class, called interactsWithMail. You can use it in your tests like this:

import { interactsWithMail as iwm } from 'nodemailer-stub'

const exampleMail = {
  to: '[email protected]',
  from: '[email protected]',
  subject: 'testing',
  content: 'foo',
  contentType: 'text/plain'
}

test('it retrieves the last message', () => {
  iwm.newMail(exampleMail)

  let lastMail = iwm.lastMail()

  lastMail.to.should.eq('[email protected]')
  lastMail.from.should.eq('[email protected]')
  lastMail.subject.should.eq('testing')
  lastMail.content.should.eq('foo')
  lastMail.contentType.should.eq('text/plain')
})
