Congratulatory Emails 📩

I have added a new feature to send you an email with a congratulatory message upon completion of a book

• Changing the email subject name

  Go to src/pages/api/books/update and replace the subject field name with yours

       if (book.end !== null) {
          const message = randomCongratulationMessage(book.title);
          await sendEmail({
            to: process.env.EMAIL_NAME,
            subject: "Congratulations John 🎉",
            html: message,
          });
        }

• Adding to or changing the congratulation message

Go to src/lib/emails/congrats-message.ts file and add or change the messages in the array to your own liking.

Note : If you don't like this new feature you can comment out the above code in your repo.And incase you don't know how to setup gmail for use with nodemailer, don't fail to send me an email at dev.johnmwendwa@gmail.com, for step by step walkthrough.
