I have a simple contact form using the Node Sendgrid helper library.
I would like to use a template email/contact.jade
that compiles to HTML and adds the right context. I know it needs to go in the payload.html
value, however I'm stuck on how to send the email with the template.
routes.js
app.route('/contact')
.post(function(req, res) {
var template = 'email/contact.jade';
var payload = {
to: req.body.email,
from: '[email protected]',
subject: req.body.subject,
html: req.body.message
};
var email = new sendgridClient.Email(payload);
sendgridClient.send(email, function(err, json) {
if (err) {
return console.error(err);
} else {
res.redirect('/thanks');
}
});
});
email/contact.jade
p Thanks
p Name {{ name }}
p Email {{ email }}
p Subject {{ subject }}
p Message {{ message }}

First I'm not sure your jade syntax is correct. You could try this instead:
email/contact.jade
p Thanks
p Name #{name}
p Email #{email}
p Subject #{subject}
p Message #{message}
And to render this into HTML:
var jade = require('jade');
var templatePath = __dirname + '/contact.jade';
app.route('/contact')
.post(function(req, res) {
var payload = {
to: req.body.email,
from: '[email protected]',
subject: req.body.subject,
html: jade.renderFile(templatePath, req.body)
};
//...
});
