# MailHog Integration Patterns

## Framework Integration Guides

### Node.js Integration

#### Nodemailer Configuration

```javascript
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

// MailHog transporter configuration
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransporter({
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 1025,
    secure: false, // TLS not required for MailHog
    auth: false,   // No authentication required
    tls: {
        rejectUnauthorized: false
    }
});

// Send email function
async function sendEmail(options) {
    try {
        const info = await transporter.sendMail({
            from: options.from || 'test@sender.local',
            to: options.to,
            subject: options.subject,
            text: options.text,
            html: options.html
        });

        console.log('Email sent successfully:', info.messageId);
        return info;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Email sending failed:', error);
        throw error;
    }
}

// Usage examples
await sendEmail({
    to: 'recipient@example.com',
    subject: 'Test Email',
    text: 'This is a test email sent via MailHog',
    html: '<p>This is a <strong>test email</strong> sent via MailHog</p>'
});
```

#### Express.js Integration

```javascript
const express = require('express');
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

// Configure transporter for different environments
const getTransporter = () => {
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
        // Production SMTP configuration
        return nodemailer.createTransporter({
            host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
            port: process.env.SMTP_PORT,
            secure: true,
            auth: {
                user: process.env.SMTP_USER,
                pass: process.env.SMTP_PASS
            }
        });
    } else {
        // Development with MailHog
        return nodemailer.createTransporter({
            host: 'localhost',
            port: 1025,
            auth: false
        });
    }
};

// Email endpoint
app.post('/send-email', async (req, res) => {
    try {
        const transporter = getTransporter();
        const { to, subject, text, html } = req.body;

        await transporter.sendMail({
            from: process.env.EMAIL_FROM || 'noreply@localhost',
            to,
            subject,
            text,
            html
        });

        res.json({ success: true, message: 'Email sent successfully' });
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Email error:', error);
        res.status(500).json({ success: false, error: error.message });
    }
});

// Test endpoint for development
app.get('/test-email', async (req, res) => {
    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
        return res.status(404).json({ error: 'Not available in production' });
    }

    try {
        const transporter = getTransporter();
        await transporter.sendMail({
            to: 'test@recipient.local',
            subject: 'Test Email from Express',
            text: 'This is a test email from the Express application',
            html: '<h1>Test Email</h1><p>This email was sent from Express using MailHog.</p>'
        });

        res.json({ success: true, message: 'Test email sent to MailHog' });
    } catch (error) {
        res.status(500).json({ error: error.message });
    }
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Server running on port 3000');
    console.log('Environment:', process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development');
});
```

#### Jest Testing Integration

### Python Integration

### Ruby on Rails Integration

```ruby
# config/environments/development.rb
Rails.application.configure do
  # ... other configurations ...

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    address: 'localhost',
    port: 1025,
    authentication: 'plain',
    user_name: nil,
    password: nil,
    enable_starttls_auto: false
  }

  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: 'localhost', port: 3000 }
end

# config/environments/production.rb
Rails.application.configure do
  # ... other configurations ...

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
    address: ENV.fetch('SMTP_HOST'),
    port: ENV.fetch('SMTP_PORT', 587).to_i,
    authentication: 'plain',
    user_name: ENV.fetch('SMTP_USER'),
    password: ENV.fetch('SMTP_PASS'),
    domain: ENV.fetch('SMTP_DOMAIN'),
    enable_starttls_auto: true
  }

  config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: ENV.fetch('APP_HOST') }
end
```

```ruby
# app/mailers/application_mailer.rb
class ApplicationMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default from: 'from@example.com'
  layout 'mailer'
end

# app/mailers/user_mailer.rb
class UserMailer < ApplicationMailer
  def welcome_email(user)
    @user = user
    mail(to: @user.email, subject: 'Welcome to Our App!')
  end

  def test_email
    return false if Rails.env.production?

    mail(to: 'test@recipient.local', subject: 'Rails Test Email') do |format|
      format.text { render plain: 'This is a test email from Rails' }
      format.html { render html: '<h1>Test Email</h1><p>This email was sent from Rails using MailHog.</p>'.html_safe }

### Testing Framework Integration

#### Cypress E2E Testing

```javascript
