You can also define shorthands in the /presets/ folder for widely used configurations
{
"template": "registrationEmail.hbs",
"from": "[email protected]",
"subject": "Please confirm your signup",
"to": "[email protected]"
}
This presets file can be selected by sending the x-presets header.
Additional headers like x-to or x-subject will override the preset configuration.
The templates use handlebars and they are compiled and cached on the application startup to optimise runtime performance.
The mails are sent using nodemailer library using a stmp pool. Environment files in /config/ define the transport and pool size.
