I have a very simple application, just starting to get my hands dirty with nodemailer. When I run the app I get errors in the module itself.
app.js:
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport('smtps://me%40gmail.com:[email protected]');
var mailOptions = {
from: '"Me" <[email protected]>', // sender address
to: '[email protected], [email protected]', // list of receivers
subject: 'Hello dude', // Subject line
text: 'Test email with text', // plaintext body
html: "Testing 1..2..7" // html body
};
// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function (error, info) {
if (error) {
return console.log(error);
}
console.log('Message sent: ' + info.response);
});
And I get this error:
C:\Users\Andrew\desktop\messy4\node_modules\nodemailer\lib\mailer\index.js:31
compile: [(...args) => this._convertDataImages(...args)],

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...

Really not sure what's happenning here.
Node.js version 6+ is required. Check your Node version with the following command:
node --version
If you are not at least 6+ then you must upgrade.
You may receive another error message instructing you to login to your account. In that case, go to your email inbox and you will see a message from Google with a link to a page for setting up less secure app permissions.
