         }

Just like it is pointed out in the nodemailer documentation https://nodemailer.com/smtp/

You need to configure a transporter with your custom domain info (host, port, user and password) You can find this info in the email configuration of your specific hosting provider.

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: 'something.yourdomain.com',
    port: 465,
    secure: true, // true for 465, false for other ports
    auth: {
      user: '[email protected]', // your domain email address
      pass: 'password' // your password
    }
  });

Then you can go on and define the mail options:

  var mailOptions = {
    from: '"Bob" <[email protected]>',
    to: '[email protected]',
    subject: "Hello",
    html : "Here goes the message body"
  };

Finally you can go on and use the transporter and mailOptions to send an email using the function sendEmail

  transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function (err, info) {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
      return ('Error while sending email' + err)
    }
    else {
      console.log("Email sent");
      return ('Email sent')
    }
  });
