Receiving email of confirm

I use nodemailer. But can use to any SMTP-server.

1. Registration to mailtrap.io

2. Enter to your account on this service.

3. In list "Inboxes" open "Demo inbox".

4. Get your information about your SMTP or POP3-server.

5. Create .env file at server/ and enter your values in it. More on this below.

    NODE_ENV=development
    PORT=3003
   
    JWT_SECRET=
    JWT_MAX_AGE=
   
    NODEMAILER_HOST=
    NODEMAILER_PORT=
    NODEMAILER_USER=
    NODEMAILER_PASS=
   
    CLOUDINARY_NAME=
    CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=
    CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=
   
   

6. Specify in the NODEMAILER_HOST and etc the data that gave you mailtrap.io.

7. Restart your backend.

8. After every registration of an account in chat, in section "Demo inbox" (Mailtrap) you will receive confirmation emails.

P.S.: You can also confirm your account without Mailtrap. Just find your user in the DB and specify confirmed: true or follow the link http://localhost:{FRONTEND_PORT}/signup/verify?hash={HASH}.
