Parse Mailtrap Adapter

With this adapter you can test emails sent for reset password and email verification in Parse with MailTrap.

It is based on simple-parse-smtp-adapter by Jose Luis.

Installation

Install npm module in your parse server project

$ npm install --save parse-mailtrap-adapter

Use

In the configuration of your parse server you must pass parse-mailtrap-adapter as email adapter and set your MailTrap access and also the path to your jade template and its less file.

This is an example using parse server as express module:

"use strict";
 
const Express = require('express');
const ParseServer = require('parse-server').ParseServer;
 
const app = Express();
const APP_PORT = 1337;
 
let options = {
 
};
 
let api = new ParseServer({
    appName: "Parse Test",
    appId: "12345",
    masterKey: "abcde12345",
    serverURL: "http://localhost:1337/parse",
    publicServerURL: "http://localhost:1337/parse",
    databaseURI: "mongodb://user:pass@host:27017/parse",
    port: APP_PORT,
    //This is the config for email adapter
    emailAdapter: {
        module: "parse-mailtrap-adapter",
        options: {
            host: 'smtp.mailtrap.io',
            port: 2525,
            fromAddress: 'your@sender.address',
            user: 'Your mailtrap username',
            password: 'Your mailtrap password', 
            templates: {
                //This template is used only for reset password email
                resetPassword: {
                    //Path to your template
                    template: __dirname + '/templates/email/reset-password',
                    //Subject for this email
                    subject: 'Reset your password'
                },
                verifyEmail: {
                    template: __dirname + '/templates/email/verify-email',
                    subject: 'Verify Email'
                }
            }
        }
    }
});
 
/**
 * Parse Server endpoint
 */
app.use('/parse', api);
 
app.listen(APP_PORT, function () {
    console.log(`Parse Server Ready and listening on port ${APP_PORT}`);
});

Template

The path you pass to the email adapter must be a directory and not a file, this path must contain 2 mandatory files html.jade and style.less. In the template you can use 3 variables:

#{appName} //This is the name of your parse app
#{link} //This is the link for reset the password
#{user} //This is a Parse object with the current user, so you can use any field in your User class of parse for example the user name #{user.get('username')}

Example Template

The following is an example of /templates/email/reset-password:

<p>Hi #{user.get('firstname')},</p>
<p>You requested a password reset for #{appName}.</p>
<p>Click here to reset it:<br><a href="#{link}">#{link}</a></p>

style.less must exist, even if it is just an empty file.
