Mailtruck

No-programming form submission route that automatically packages a form's result inside an email and sends it to a certain address.

Features:

• Simple to use! Configure the mailtruck route and you're ready to go, no programming required.
• Supports file uploads (sent as attachments to the email)
• Custom email templates (with mustache)
• Automatic input sanitization (xss sanitization)

Mailtruck route requires express and relies on Mandrill to send emails.

Example

 
var express   = require( 'express' );
var mailtruck = require( '../index' );
 
var app = express();
 
app.use( express.bodyParser() );
app.use( app.router );
 
app.get( '/', function( req, res, next ){
  res.send(
    [
      '<form method="POST" action="/">',
      ' First name: <input type="text" name="form[firstname]"><br>',
      ' Last name: <input type="text" name="form[lastname]"><br>',
      ' <button type="submit">send over email</button>',
      '</form>'
    ].join( '' )
  );
});
 
app.post( '/', mailtruck.route( 'olivier@keatonrow.com', { mandrillKey: "your-mandrill-key" } ) );
 
app.listen( 3000 );
 

Roadmap

• Finish writing a proper documentation ( including form scopes, file uploads, template and dictionary ).
• Support multiple email-sending backends.
• Support multiple templating engines for rendering.
• Remove express route, generalize to any http request.
• Make file deletion post-submit configurable.
• Add back-end mimetype verification (whitelist/blacklist) for file uploads.
• Make mailtruck-wide configuration available when requiring mailtruck (as function call).
