Referencing another file within a function #33243

|
I have a Gatsby function that sends email (api/sendmail/sendmail.ts). When it executes, it needs to grab an EJS template file (api/sendmail/email_templates/template.ejs) to create the HTML email output. Included below are a few pieces of the Gatsby function to illustrate how I'm trying to do it. It works when running Gatsby locally, but when I push it to Netlify it can't find the file. Is there a trick to referencing a file within a Gatsby function? |

Yes or you can use the raw-loader to directly import the template like:

Whoa, I didn't know that raw-loader trick. You just saved the day, thanks @KyleAMathews! |

Gatsby functions only bundle files that you require. So instead of using
ejs.renderFile, require the template and compile it and then useejs.render.
