Tutorial

We will be creating a simple AngularJS web application which will send an email to the website administrator when any users wish to contact regarding any issue. We are going to implement the above functionality in just 3 steps

Craft the user interface (front end client side) Configure the email client (Sendgrid) Create the server and make the server talk to Sendgrid and AngularJS frontend (Using NodeJS)

Step-1

Let’s build the user interface using google’s material design and our friend AngularJS

Let’s use the material design CSS library provided by materializecss.com

Step-2

To send email we will use some node libraries

nodemailer
nodemailer-sendgrid-transport

For this we need to create a sendgrid account and generate a api key and use in index.js
