Send an email from BS player using a web form and nodemailer running on node server
- Download the repo to your PC/Mac
- Copy the content of the CopytoSDCard folder to a blank SD card
-
Insert the SD card in the player and Power ON the layer
-
Navigate to the location where you have unzipped the repo and from the terminal enter
npm install
The above step should install all the necessary node_modules that are required based on the content of the package.json file
- I would suggest running your first test with Gmail account to send emails. Go to https://nodemailer.com/usage/using-gmail/ for further details on how to get a password for sending emails
- Once you have obtained the password for your Gmail account change the user and pass values in the index.js file
From that point you can install other modules and/or change the code to suit your requirements. when you're ready to build your bundle.js file enter:
npx webpack --config webpack.config.js
This step should generate a new bundle.js file in the dist folder.
You are now ready to upload the bundle.js file to the pluginNodeApp folder using the player DWS or a suitable REST API mechanism.
Restart the autorun.brs or reboot the player to see your updated code running.
