Bug Description

I am facing an issue while integrating the email functionality using @react-email/render and nodemailer packages. The code crashes with an "ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND" error.

The code crashes with an "ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND" error. The error message indicates that a specific module is not found. Error: module not found at ... ...

// Code snippet or relevant configurations
import User from '../schemas/User.schema.js';

const userRoute = async (fastify) => {

    const giftHTML = render(Email);

    fastify.post('/', async (request, reply) => {
        try {
            const userData = request.body

Hey! I'm facing the same issue! Is there any update on this?

Hey @joaopcm, since you were the last one to comment here, could you make a minimal reproduction repo of this?

Hey, @gabrielmfern! Thank you for reminding me I left this comment in this thread! I found the solution and shared it here. My issue was more about supporting React.js components in a Node.js environment using a NestJS project.

Hey, I am also difficulty in using react-email components in nodejs server. Is it possible to import react-email components in express sever to send emails?

Hey, @Nithishprem! I believe I had a similar issue. I was using NestJS (which uses Express as the main API engine) with TypeScript. As I'm using SWC to build my project, I needed to add the proper configurations to support JSX/TSX files when compiling the project. Have you already tried something similar to this?

Hey @joaopcm!

Both links you provided redirect to a twitter (X) post that doesn't have any comments or solutions present. Were you able to find a solution to the above issue? I have been stuck on it for longer than I care to admit 😅

@LockeandDropit, this is what I see when I open the X link ↓

No able to find the solution, I have tried so many things already and nothing could make it work properly...

[gabrielmfern]

@gusmagnago Could you make a reproduction of it? Seems to me that everyone having this issue here is having it for different reasons.

It could be that you might have something misconfigured, as @joaopcm did.

We're having issues too getting our NestJS backend to use React Email to send out emails.

@basememara Would you be willing to share a minimal reproduction of it? With one I can help you for sure.
