Trap and test AWS SES emails locally
You can simply use docker to run the service locally
docker run -d --name local-ses -p 8282:8282 kamranahmed/local-ses:latestThis will start the service on port 8282. Next, modify your SES client to use the local service.
For example, if you are using aws-sdk you can do something like
import { SESClient, SendEmailCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-ses";
const client = new SESClient({
region: credentials.region,
credentials: {
accessKeyId: credentials.accessKeyId,
secretAccessKey: credentials.secretAccessKey,
},
endpoint: "http://localhost:8282", // <--- Add this to trap emails locally
});
// Send emails as usual
const command = new SendEmailCommand({/*...*/});
const result = await sesClient.send(command);
logInfo(`Email sent to ${toAddress} with message ID ${result.MessageId}`);MIT © Kamran Ahmed
