``
npm install aws-ses-v2-local
Run it as a command line tool (in your package.json scripts, or install it globally with npm install -g aws-ses-v2-local)
`
aws-ses-v2-local
Alternatively, you can import it and run it yourself (along with optional config for the port):
`typescript
import server from 'aws-ses-v2-local'
server({ port: 8005 })
console.log('aws-ses-v2-local: server up and running')
`
You can treat the server as an AWS SES endpoint. See the starter for your language:
JavaScript/TypeScript for the V2 API with the V3 SDK (recommended)
`typescript
import { SESv2Client, SendEmailCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-sesv2"
const ses = new SESv2Client({
endpoint: 'http://localhost:8005',
region: 'aws-ses-v2-local',
credentials: { accessKeyId: 'ANY_STRING', secretAccessKey: 'ANY_STRING' },
});
await ses.send(new SendEmailCommand({
FromEmailAddress: 'sender@example.com',
Destination: { ToAddresses: ['receiver@example.com'] },
Content: {
Simple: {
Subject: { Data: 'This is the subject' },
Body: { Text: { Data: 'This is the email contents' } },
}
},
}))
`
JavaScript/TypeScript for the V1 API with the V3 SDK
`typescript
import { SES, SendEmailCommand } from '@aws-sdk/client-ses'
const ses = new SES({
endpoint: 'http://localhost:8005',
region: 'aws-ses-v2-local',
credentials: { accessKeyId: 'ANY_STRING', secretAccessKey: 'ANY_STRING' },
})
await ses.send(new SendEmailCommand({
Source: 'sender@example.com',
Destination: { ToAddresses: ['receiver@example.com'] },
Message: {
Subject: { Data: 'This is the subject' },
Body: { Text: { Data: 'This is the email contents' } },
},
}))
`
JavaScript/TypeScript for the V2 API with the V2 SDK
`typescript
import AWS from 'aws-sdk'
const ses = new AWS.SESV2({
endpoint: 'http://localhost:8005',
region: 'aws-ses-v2-local',
credentials: { accessKeyId: 'ANY_STRING', secretAccessKey: 'ANY_STRING' },
})
ses.sendEmail({
FromEmailAddress: 'sender@example.com',
Destination: { ToAddresses: ['receiver@example.com'] },
Content: {
Simple: {
Subject: { Data: 'This is the subject' },
Body: { Text: { Data: 'This is the email contents' } },
}
},
})
`
JavaScript/TypeScript with nodemailer for the V1 raw API with the V3 SDK
`typescript
import * as aws from '@aws-sdk/client-ses'
const ses = new aws.SES({
endpoint: 'http://localhost:8005',
region: 'aws-ses-v2-local',
credentials: { accessKeyId: 'ANY_STRING', secretAccessKey: 'ANY_STRING' },
})
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({ SES: { ses, aws } })
await transporter.sendMail({
from: 'sender@example.com',
to: ['receiver@example.com'],
subject: 'This is the subject',
text: 'This is the email contents',
attachments: [{
filename: some-file.pdf,`
contentType: 'application/pdf',
content: Buffer.from(pdfBytes),
}],
})
Using another language or version? Submit a PR to update this list :)
Navigate to the address and port where the server is running in your browser (e.g. localhost:8005).
A Dockerfile that bakes the /dist/cli.js is provided. There is also a docker-compose.example.yml` template to create a container running the aws-ses-v2-local mock server.
