This script generates an Ethereal email account, logs in the email address and password to the console, and then exits. The email and password are needed for local development, as they are used as the "from" email address for all emails sent from the server.

import nodemailer from 'nodemailer';

async function generateEtherealAccount() {
    const testAccount = await nodemailer.createTestAccount();
    console.log('Ethereal Email credentials:');
    console.log('ETHEREAL_USER=' + testAccount.user);
    console.log('ETHEREAL_PASSWORD=' + testAccount.pass);
}
