Mailer

It is a simple Node.js server which forwards all “POST” submission by email. No database, 100% server (Nodejs), just sends the submissions by email.

How to use?

You create your front-end and style. Let’s build anything you want, we’ll take the backend!

Example form

<form action="https://YOUR-DEPLOYED-APP/post" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <label for="Email">Email
  <input id="Email" type="email" name="Email" required="true">
  </label>
  <label for="Name">Name
  <input id="Name" type="text" name="Name" required="true">
  </label>
  <input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>

Note: Whether you add a /post or another endpoint, the app will always handle your request

Deploy
