Setting the from name with nodemailer and sestransport

I am sending emails from NodeJS using Nodemailer and sestransport on AWS, and am wondering how I can change the 'from name'?

fFr example, for from I put

    const mailOptions =
    {
      from:     '<[email protected]>',
      to:       '[email protected]',
      subject:  'Hi',
    }

When I get the email, it appears to come from 'noreply'. I would like to be able to change to name to anything, for example 'tom hanks', but still have the reply address [email protected]. Is that possible?

You can specify Address object with name and address properties. name property will be friendly-name for the sender, and address field will be the actual sender email.

const mailOptions = {
  from: { name: 'Naruto Uzumaki', address: '[email protected]' },
  to: '[email protected]',
  subject: 'Hi',
}

If you don't want to hard code your name you can use template string

const mailOptions = 
{
  from:   `${myNameVariable} <[email protected]>`,
  to:      mySenderVariable,
  subject: mySubjectVariable
}

Simply specify it before the email address:

const mailOptions =
{
  from:     '"Tom Hanks" <[email protected]>',
  to:       '[email protected]',
  subject:  'Hi',
}
