Title: Send hourly emails to Sean containing a random number Description:

Send an email every hour to sean@thrashplay.com containing a random number between 1 and 10. The email should be sent by a timed GitHub Action workflow

Implementation Plan

Sure, here's an updated implementation plan that uses nodemailer ^6.9.1:

Implementation Plan

1. Create a new function named "sendHourlyEmail" in the "utils.ts" file, which will send an email to the user every hour with a random number between 1 and 10.
2. Use the "nodemailer" library to send the email. Install it using the command "npm install nodemailer@^6.9.1" and add it to the dependencies section of the package.json file with a version of "^6.9.1".
3. Create a new GitHub Actions workflow file named "send_hourly_email.yml" in the ".github/workflows" directory.
4. Use the "cron" trigger to schedule the workflow to run every hour.
5. In the workflow file, use the "actions/checkout@v2" action to check out the latest code from the repository.
6. Use the "actions/setup-node@v2" action to set up the Node.js environment.
7. Use the "npm install" command to install the necessary dependencies, including the "nodemailer" library.
8. Use the "npm run build" command to build the project.
9. Store the SMTP configuration details in a GitHub Actions secret with the following keys:
   • "SMTP_HOST": The hostname or IP address of the SMTP server.
   • "SMTP_PORT": The port number of the SMTP server.
   • "SMTP_SECURE": Whether to use a secure connection to the SMTP server (true or false).
   • "SMTP_USER": The username to use for authentication with the SMTP server.
   • "SMTP_PASS": The password to use for authentication with the SMTP server.
   • "SMTP_FROM": The email address to use as the sender for the email.
   • "SMTP_TO": The email address to send the email to. Each key should be a separate secret in the GitHub Actions secret store.
10. In the sendHourlyEmail function, use the process.env object to retrieve the SMTP configuration details from the GitHub Actions secret.
11. Use the retrieved SMTP configuration details to create a transport object in the sendHourlyEmail function.
12. Use the transport object to send an email to the

Title: Send hourly emails to Sean containing a random number Description:

Send an email every hour to sean@thrashplay.com containing a random number between 1 and 10. The email should be sent by a timed GitHub Action workflow.

Reflections

The user could have provided more details on what the purpose of the email is, why a random number between 1 and 10 is being sent, and what the expected outcome is. Additionally, providing more context on what the "timed github action workflow" is would have been helpful.

To improve the prompts, it would be helpful to explicitly ask for the purpose of the email, the expected outcome, and more information on the "timed github action workflow". It may also be useful to prompt the user to provide any additional context that may be relevant. As a language model, I am designed to provide suggestions based on the information provided, so it is important for users to provide as much detail as possible to get the best possible response.

Implementation Plan

1. Create a new function named "sendEmail" in the "utils.ts" file, which will send an email to the user every hour.
2. Use the "nodemailer" library to send the email. Install it using the command "npm install nodemailer".
3. Use the "setInterval" function to call the "sendEmail" function every hour.
4. In the "sendEmail" function, use the "nodemailer" library to create a transport object with the appropriate email service, username, password, and other settings.
5. Use the transport object to send an email to the user's email address with a subject of "Hourly Report" and a message containing the necessary information.

Files to Change

• utils.ts: Add the "sendEmail" function.

This plan won't work because nothing will run the application. Instead, create a github action workflow with a cron trigger and use that to call your sendEmail function once.

Does the nodemailer library require SMTP configuration, such as server information and account credentials? If not, how does it work? If so, how will you obtain them?

[coco-b0t]

Yes, the nodemailer library requires SMTP configuration, such as server information and account credentials, to send emails. These details are used to create a transport object that is used to send the email.

To obtain the necessary SMTP configuration details, you can either ask the product owner or the relevant team members for the information or retrieve them from a secure location such as a password manager or a configuration file. Once you have the required information, you can use it to configure the transport object in the sendHourlyEmail function.

Ok, the configuration is good enough for now. However, remember that developers cannot run any commands such as npm and must edit all files by hand. Please detail what dependencies must be added to package.json and what versions to use.
