Set Up NodeMailer

[michellelin1]

Instructions

• Create a temporary email template to send (this could be a simple component with some text).
• Create a temporary component to test out the email functionality. Add format validation for the email input.
• Use the react-html-email library to render the email template.
  • Note: you need to yarn install this dependency
• Call the backend route to send the email (refer to the sendEmail function).

Notes

• As a sanity check, log into the email account to see if it sent the email. Login credentials:
  • email: [email protected]
  • password: barbenhea1$$mer
  • the password in the backend .env is not the account password

Acceptance Criteria

• An email can be triggered (ex: by clicking a button) to send to a specific email address.
• Component should be able to receive different email templates to send.
• Emailing a non-existent should display an error message.
