How to make it so that it sends out the pdf only after the pdf is generated using async await
How to make the mail transporter to wait until the pdf is generated?
I attached the code that I have tried. My browser hangs and failed to send out the email. The issue is that the mail transporter tries to send out email before the pdf is generated. I am guessing that I did not use the async and await at the right place.
async () => {
await pdf.create(document, options).then(res => {
console.log(res)
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error)
})
let message = "Testing"
let mailOptions = {
from: "xxx@gmail.com",
to: "yyy@gmail.com",
subject: 'Subject testing',
text: message,
attachments: [{
path: __dirname + '/../public/reports/' + 'test.pdf',
}]
}
await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log("sent email")
res.json({
email: "sent"
});
}
})
}

You can onlyawaita promise. You need to use promises.

I figured it out. I didn't call the function so the operation is not being executed. I removed the await in the transporter.sendMail because it is not doing anything.
sendPDF();
async function sendPDF() {
await pdf.create(document, options).then(res => {
console.log(res)
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error)
})
let message = "Testing"
let mailOptions = {
from: "xxx@gmail.com",
to: "yyy@gmail.com",
subject: 'Subject testing',
text: message,
attachments: [{
path: __dirname + '/../public/reports/' + 'test.pdf',
}]
}
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log("sent email")
res.json({
email: "sent"
});
}
})
}
