Email

The Boring JavaScript Stack uses sails-hook-mail for email delivery. It provides a simple API for sending emails through configurable transports (SMTP, Resend, log) with EJS-based templates and a shared layout system.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Configuring sails-hook-mail in config/mail.js (transports, from address, mailers)
• Writing EJS email templates in views/emails/
• Using the shared email layout (views/layouts/layout-email.ejs)
• Sending emails via sails.helpers.mail.send.with()
• Setting up SMTP providers (Mailgun, SendGrid, AWS SES) or Resend
• Implementing transactional email patterns (verification, password reset, magic links, 2FA codes)
• Switching between log transport (development) and real transports (production)
