Prerequisites

To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

1. Install

Get the Resend Node.js SDK.

bun install resend

2. Create an email template

Start by creating your email template on email-template.tsx.

email-template.tsx
import * as React from 'react';

interface EmailTemplateProps {
  firstName: string;
}

export const EmailTemplate: React.FC<Readonly<EmailTemplateProps>> = ({
  firstName,
}) => (
  <div>
    <h1>Welcome, {firstName}!</h1>
  </div>
);

3. Send email using React

Create a new file index.tsx and send your first email.

index.tsx
import { Resend } from 'resend';
import { EmailTemplate } from './email-template';

const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);

const server = Bun.serve({
  port: 3000,
  async fetch() {
    const { data, error } = await resend.emails.send({
      from: 'Acme <onboarding@resend.dev>',
      to: ['delivered@resend.dev'],
      subject: 'Hello World',
      react: EmailTemplate({ firstName: 'Vitor' }),
    });

    if (error) {
      return new Response(JSON.stringify({ error }));
    }

    return new Response(JSON.stringify({ data }));
  },
});

console.log(`Listening on http://localhost:${server.port} ...`);

Start the local server by running bun index.tsx and navigate to http://localhost:3000.
