Hi I'm using nodemailer and I need to change the password if the user logged in with the personal email. I want to create a separate function that can sent emails for multiple purposes like password reset, order confirmations, etc.

I am using nodemailer-express-handlebars and want to sent a template located in views, and create the logic within the /api/reset-password endpoint.

const {sendEmail} = require('../../services/nodemailer.js');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

exports.reset = (req, res, next) => {
    const {userID, email} = req.body;
    const emailTemplateSource = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, '../../views/password-refresh.handlebars'), "utf8")
    
    res.send({userID, email});

    sendEmail(email, {
        subject: 'Password recovery',
        text: 'Please use this page to reset your password. Your password will be securey stored in our database and will be available imediatelly.',
        html: emailTemplateSource
    });
}

Above is the current configuration of the controller.emailTemplateSource is the try where I attempt to locate the view and use the html view inside the email to change it. Beside that the view does not load the CSS, if I press Reset button, the gmail send me to an external page..... This is a behaviour I need to change. Or find another solution...

Bellow is the nodemailer function where I try to implement the send functionality with parameters, in order to be reusable.

const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
require('dotenv').config()
const hbs = require('nodemailer-express-handlebars');


exports.sendEmail = async (userEmail, options) => {
      let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
        host: "smtp-mail.outlook.com", 
        secureConnection: false, 
        port: 587, 

        tls: {
           ciphers:'SSLv3'
        },
          auth: {
              user: process.env.BUSINESS_EMAIL,
              pass: process.env.EMAIL_PASSWORD
          }
      });

      /* Configure the nodemailer for the handlebars views */
      transporter.use('compile', hbs({
          viewEngine: 'express-handlebars',
          viewPath: './views/'
      }));

      let mailOptions = {
          from: process.env.BUSINESS_EMAIL,
          to: userEmail,
          subject: options.subject,
          text: options.text,
          html: options.html
      }

      transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, success) => {
        if (error) return console.log(error);
        else return console.log('Email send');
      })
}

Anyone know what should I do? The template send me to another page

Thanks, Daniel
