hey @unclebay143
I walk through your blog in this link
https://unclebigbay.com/build-an-email-application-using-node-js-express-js-with-gmail-and-nodemailer-all-in-one-article
and find a problem there .
in this snippet :
// Post route to handle retrieving data from HTML form to server
app.post("/send_email", (req, res) => {
if (error) {
console.log(err);
return res.send("Error uploading file");
} else {
const recipient = req.body.email;
const subject = req.body.subject;
const message = req.body.message;
const attachmentPath = req.file.path;
console.log("recipient:", recipient);
console.log("subject:", subject);
console.log("message:", message);
console.log("attachmentPath:", attachmentPath);
}
});
you forgot one line that is
attachmentUpload(req, res, function (error) {
but in repo every thing seems good .
I enjoy your blog .
