— I just want to fill the form with name, email, subject and message. And once filled send it to my email
Should be rather simple. Set up an express server, have a route to accept the form input, and send an email using nodemailer
— If you have any problems feel free to ask
— Is it necesary only to install nodemailer and express? Or also body-parser, oauth and nodemailer-smtp-transport?
— Just install the packages via npm or yarn. They will install all dependencies you need!
— Hi!!
— Body-parser: depends on if you're gonna have form-data request bodies
oath: depends on if you're gonna have oauth
nodemailer-smtp-transport: Probably not, nodemailer supports a bunch of stuff OOTB
— Well, as I said I have a form with name, email, subject and message. I've never used js to do a form so I'm kinda lost
— You don't need form-data for that, just use urlencoded POST
— Form-data is needed for file uploads tho
— Oh wait, lol
— You still need body-parser apparently
