Emails — Resend Delivery & Magic Links

Zero-dependency Resend REST client, NextAuth magic links, and verified domains.

Emails

Send (Transactional)

libs/resend.js:sendEmail({ to, subject, text, html, replyTo, from }) — delivers emails directly via the Resend REST API (https://api.resend.com/emails) using native fetch. Zero external npm dependencies.

Reads RESEND_API_KEY (or extracts the key from EMAIL_SERVER). From address defaults to RESEND_FROM or config.resend.fromAdmin (Boring <[email protected]>).

import { sendEmail } from "@/libs/resend";

await sendEmail({
  to: "[email protected]",
  subject: "Your receipt",
  html: "<p>Thank you for your order!</p>",
});

Magic links (NextAuth)

Email sign-in (EmailProvider in libs/next-auth.js) sends magic links via Resend:

Uses per-DB adapters' verification-token tables with identical UX on SQLite, MongoDB, and Supabase.

Test CLI
