For anyone having an error similar to "Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/mnt/c/users/name/Email/views/layouts/main.handlebars'", Use res.render('contact', {layout: false}); instead of res.render('contact');

Guys, don't skip the ads that play on this channel. It will help the channel. I used to skip the ads in the beginning as I wasn't aware of it. Thanks Brad for these awesome videos. Cheers! 🍻

[@shando_tube]

In order for the KZbinr to get compensated for the ad, you must either sit through 30 seconds of the ad or through the completion of the ad - whichever one comes first.

[@AdamTillontheWeb]

Not sure this is actually true. Otherwise the KZbinr is being held accountable for how good the ad actually is, which isn't the case. Would like a reference for this otherwise, since I've heard that it doesn't matter to the channel owner (they just decide how many commericals/where they're placed)

[@TenaciousDanR]

Ads? What are those? I never see them thanks to AdBlock. I dont think that google would let you skip ads by default anyways...

Brad, you have helped me immensely. I was finding outdated posts on how to use Nodemailer. I finally came across your video and got my form to work. You are awesome and deserve way more than 183K subscribers. I hope you get to one million. Keep up the good work, and you've gained a subscriber :)

Thank you very much :) hopefully someday

[@ozzyfromspace]

You made it so easy for me to understand how nodemailer works! Thanks to you, I've successfully implemented nodemailer into my portfolio project (verifying an email address for an express app). You rock, Brad! Seriously, you do!

[@ludaxofficial]

im having an issue integrating this into my existing portfolio, could you pleasae help me out?

[@ozzyfromspace]

@@ludaxofficial hi, I can try. What’s not adding up?

[@ludaxofficial]

@@ozzyfromspace thanks for responding quickly! So, im implementing this back end code into my website and i dont understend if i have to put all my html into the contact.handlebar or only the html of the form.

[@ozzyfromspace]

@@ludaxofficial hi, do you wanna meet on jitsi. It’s an opensource video platform where people can chat in real-time without creating an account?

[@ozzyfromspace]

The approach I would generally recommend is to have an html form so you can post inputs to an app.js type server. Then copy-paste the node-mailer code and replace their test account with your own, and pass an html object (scoped to a div) to the html field. Hopefully this helps. It’s hard to say more without seeing relevant parts of your code. I’m online watching a lecture so I’ll see your response if you’re quick enough (within the next 40 minutes or so). Best wishes

[@doitwithdevon]

Just about the only tutorial I've seen where I was able to roll through a test email on the first try. Kudos my friend. *Please make sure to use environment variables when going live. Search for environment variables for NodeJS and you should have no problem you don't wanna expose your credentials to the world!

[@PandemicGameplay]

one tip for actually planning on using this live: you can setup system environment variables through your web deploymsnt service (example Heroku) that way you can use those in place of actual usernames passwords for better security.

[@TraversyMedia]

Thanks

[@PandemicGameplay]

Np! btw I love your videos. You practically taught me MEAN JS. Great work!

In lieu of installing the body-parser, you could also use the express parser. It's one line of code: app.use(express.urlencoded( {extended: true} ));

[@saif1858]

i too have the same query. @tony shah have you got the solution for this. if yes please let me know the how can it be done.

[@sunex579]

You wouldn’t use the req.body.email. Think of it like this... if a user is filling out your form to contact you, they would fill out their name, their email, and their message, etc. You would want to send the form they filled out to your inbox. The req.body.email (which is the email address they fill in the box) is there so you can have a way to respond to the person sending the form. If you had the email sent to req.body.email (which wouldn’t work), then the person filling out the form would be essentially emailing themself.
