I am currently working on a project using Ember.js and want to send an email with the body containing a generated code that I have built an algorithm to make. My only problem is no matter where I search I can't seem to find a solution to sending emails with Ember as it is a front end framework. Would someone mind pointing me in the right direction as to where I need to go to complete this?

    You can't do this with a frontend framework. You need a backend framework for this. – Lux May 21 '17 at 23:12
  • Thanks Lux, I was so stumbled on it because a startup I am in the process of joining gave me a task and this was part of it and it was the only thing I couldn't complete. So there is really no way of doing this? – Mitchell Lubanko May 21 '17 at 23:18

You cannot do this with an only frontend framework.

But there are some different ways to achive this:

  • You can send e-mail by using client machines' email applications. This can be done via mailto. reference1, reference2. But this does not guarantee to send the e-mail!
  • You can send e-mail via a server by using the api's of that server. This can be done in several ways. For example, by using user's mail server's rest api. Such as outlook rest api. Or by using a mail service providers. Such as mailgun. For these alternatives, have a look at this answer.
