Node.js SDK

Send email with Nuxt

Use Parcel Wing from Nuxt server API routes and call them from Vue components.

Install the SDK

The official SDK is published as @parcelwing/node.

Terminal

npm install @parcelwing/node

Server API route

Create a Nuxt server route that owns the Parcel Wing client and keeps your API key away from the browser.

server/api/send-welcome.post.ts

import { ParcelWing } from "@parcelwing/node";
 
const parcelWing = new ParcelWing({ apiKey: process.env.PARCEL_WING_API_KEY! });
 
export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const body = await readBody<{ email: string; firstName?: string }>(event);
 
  const [message] = await parcelWing.emails.send({
    from: "Acme <[email protected]>",
    to: body.email,
    template_alias: "welcome_email",
    template_params: { first_name: body.firstName ?? "friend" },
  });
 
  return { id: message?.id };
});

Production notes

Keep PARCEL_WING_API_KEY in server-only environment variables.
Validate recipient addresses and public form input before sending.
Use saved templates for onboarding, invites, receipts, and other repeatable lifecycle email.
