Android

Maybe you need to add (if you encounter error with mimetypes during build), in android/app/build.gradle:

android {
	...
	packagingOptions {
		exclude 'META-INF/mimetypes.default'
		exclude 'META-INF/mailcap.default'
	}
}

Usage

import RNSmtpMailer from "react-native-smtp-mailer";

RNSmtpMailer.sendMail({
  mailhost: "smtp.gmail.com",
  port: "465",
  ssl: true, // optional. if false, then TLS is enabled. Its true by default in android. In iOS TLS/SSL is determined automatically, and this field doesn't affect anything
  username: "usernameEmail",
  password: "password",
  fromName: "Some Name", // optional
  replyTo: "usernameEmail", // optional
  recipients: "toEmail1,toEmail2",
  bcc: ["bccEmail1", "bccEmail2"], // optional
  subject: "subject",
  htmlBody: "<h1>header</h1><p>body</p>",
  attachmentPaths: [
    RNFS.ExternalDirectoryPath + "/image.jpg",
    RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/test.txt",
    RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/test2.csv",
    RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/pdfFile.pdf",
    RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/zipFile.zip",
    RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/image.png"
  ], // optional
  attachmentNames: [
    "image.jpg",
    "firstFile.txt",
    "secondFile.csv",
    "pdfFile.pdf",
    "zipExample.zip",
    "pngImage.png"
  ], // required in android, these are renames of original files. in ios filenames will be same as specified in path. In a ios-only application, no need to define it
})
  .then(success => console.log(success))
  .catch(err => console.log(err));

RNFS is from react-native-fs library, used just to demonstrate a way of accessing files in phone filesystem.
