What is Wasp
I'll assume you already know Wasp, it's basically a Full-Stack framework similar to Laravel but for Javascript. If you don't know anything about it yet, then I guess this is a sign that you should start exploring now.
For more information, please check their website -> Wasp-lang. Please read about OpenSaaS as well.
What is MailHog
- Mailhog is an open source email testing tool that works locally. That only means you don't need internet to test emails.
- To install MailHog, please check their GitHub repository for more info
How to use MailHog in Wasp
Step 1: In main.wasp
file
- set the email sender provider to SMTP
// main.wasp file
emailSender: {
...
provider: SMTP
...
}
Step 2: Update .env.server
- To use MailHog, simply set the SMTP configuration with the following values:
SMTP_HOST=localhost
SMTP_PORT=1025
SMTP_USERNAME=mailhog
SMTP_PASSWORD=mailhog
- Usually you don't need to set the SMTP_USERNAME and SMTP_PASSWORD, however this won't work as Wasp uses nodemailer and the
secured
option is set totrue
by default if not specified.- Currently, there's no way to override that option. This works because I also don't know, maybe it's related to encryption or some restriction of nodemailer. Maybe you can help me explain it more π
Step 3: Testing
- Open the web interface of MailHog, this is where you will receive all the emails sent through Wasp, you can access it @
localhost:8025
or0.0.0.0:8025
- Try sending an email, if you are using the OpenSaaS template, you can simply try reset password.
- You should receive the email
If these instructions doesn't work and you found a working solution, please let me know :) I only tested this on a mac machine
