How send email from jhipster application

I've developed an application using jhipster. I've setted application-dev.yml file with this information

mail:
    host: smtp.gmail.com
    port: 587
    username: **********@gmail.com
    password: ****************
    protocol: smtp
    tls: true
    properties.mail.smtp:
            auth: true
            starttls.enable: true
            ssl.trust: smtp.gmail.com

and everything work correctly.If a new user registers, the activation mail correct arrive to user email address. My question is, I've write a page contact-me, but I don't understand how send button work, I've, in java backend this method

@Async
public void sendEmail(String to, String subject, String content, boolean isMultipart, boolean isHtml) {
    log.debug("Send e-mail[multipart '{}' and html '{}'] to '{}' with subject '{}' and content={}",
        isMultipart, isHtml, to, subject, content);

    // Prepare message using a Spring helper
    MimeMessage mimeMessage = javaMailSender.createMimeMessage();
    try {
        MimeMessageHelper message = new MimeMessageHelper(mimeMessage, isMultipart, CharEncoding.UTF_8);
        message.setTo(to);
        message.setFrom(jHipsterProperties.getMail().getFrom());
        message.setSubject(subject);
        message.setText(content, isHtml);
        javaMailSender.send(mimeMessage);
        log.debug("Sent e-mail to User '{}'", to);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        log.warn("E-mail could not be sent to user '{}'", to, e);
    }
}

that I think is the method to use for send mail from contact me form. I need a controller of contact-me html page? This is my contact me html page http://pastebin.com/h8NniSj1

Extend your REST API with a "contact me" method (e.g. /api/contactmes) that you will call from your contact form. The endpoint could accept POST requests with the "contact me" form parameters:

{
    "subject": "...",
    "from": "...",
    "message": "..."
}

Then you have options:

  • it could internally use the MailService::sendEMail method to contact you (via email)
  • it could save the info in a DB for you to see it later through your admin panel (if you have one)
  • it could broadcast the message through multiple contact-channels (e.g. Slack, e-mail, FB, etc)
  • etc.

As you are using JHipster, I suppose you have a controller and service on your Angular front-end.

So, I think you can create a Spring-MVC controller to receive your parameters (TO, Subject, etc..) and call this Mail Service (sendMail) you post in your question.

Please let me know if I've understand you question correctly.
