javascript - Meteor's Email is undefined

Question

After adding Meteor's email package and restarting the server (for good measure), I do this:

Template.messaging.events({
  'click #send-message' : function () {
    Email.send({
      from: 'test@gmail.com',
      to:   'test2@gmail.com',
      html: 'heyo buddy.'
    });
  }
});

When I fire the event, the console spits out:

Uncaught ReferenceError: Email is not defined

The docs say that even unconfigured, Email.send() should output to standard output. I get the same problem when deployed to meteor.com, which should be automatically set up with Mailgun.

Any ideas?

As mentioned in the docs, Email is a server-side only package. You are trying to invoke it client-side within a Template callback. I suggest you move your above calls into a server-side method via Meteor.methods, and then invoke it client-side via Meteor.call
