• Make sure you have Node.js installed. If you don't have it. go to the node.js site and download it or read the previous post in which I have installed the node.js.
• Open vs code and download the node-modular from NPM(Node package Module).
  open terminal and type npm install node-mailer.

Now copy-paste the whole code.

const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const config = require('./config.json');

let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    service: 'gmail',
    auth: {
        user: config.from,
        pass: config.pass
    }
});
let mailOptions = {
    from: config.from,
    to: config.to,
    subject: 'Hive Post',
    text: 'This is mail sent by Noed-Mailer '
};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
    } else {
        console.log('Email sent to the given adress');
    }
});

Create a new file name it index.js and paste the whole code int it.
create another file and name it confog.json.

{
    "from": "YOUR-GMAIL",
    "to": "WHERE-YOU-WANT-SEND",
    "pass": "YOUR-PASSWORD"
}

copy the above code into it and change its values.

• Now we are ready to send our Email. Let's run our code.
