Handle and pass errors from Nodemailer sendMail

Tried these solution

Nothing worked. So I', trying to throw my own exception from within sendMail errors like this

try{  transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, response) => {
        if(error){
            console.log(`couldn't send mail ${error}`);
            throw 500;
        }else{
            console.log('Message sent: %s', response);
        }       
  });
    } catch (error) {
        console.log('error =' + error);
    }

I'm getting an error:

throw 500;
^
500
(Use `node --trace-uncaught ...` to show where the exception was thrown)
app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

How can I return a response success or error to my client?

In javascript, try/catch block does not catch an exception that is throwed from a callback in a function which returns a promise.

transporter.sendMail function returns a promise. So, try/catch block can not catch the exception from the callback function.

You can do this, instead;

try {
  const response = await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions);
  console.log('Message sent: %s', response);
        
} catch (error) {
  console.log('error =' + error);
  throw 500; // or throw Error("your error message");
}
