e-mail server

a simple e-mail server that handles incoming messages to a contact form.

Project intent:

Taking messages from users and sending reception-confirmation.

Techs used:

• Node.js
• Javascript
• Handlebars
• Express

Summary:

Created the server app using Express which handles the HTTP requests: currently the server responds to two HTTP requests; a post and a get request as these are the ones I needed for the contact form. for more information about how to use them visit instruction page Here POST request takes a json object with this form:

{
  "name": "The name to send",
  "email": "the e-mail to send",
  "message": "the message to send"
}

Proposed POST function for frontend application:

async function sendMail(name:string, email:string, message:string) {
    const response = await fetch('https://oj-contact-server.herokuapp.com/api/contact', {
        method: 'POST',
        credentials: 'same-origin',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({name, email, message})
    });
}

Generated html messages:

Both the incoming and the confirmation messages are generated by Hanndlebars and CSS.
