Your nodejs instructions do not work

I tried to switch over from mailgun-js to the official mailgun.js and everything broke. Following your official documentation:

const DOMAIN = "placeholderDomainHere"
const formData = require('form-data');
const Mailgun = require('mailgun.js');
const mailgun = new Mailgun(formData);
const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY);

mg.messages.create(DOMAIN, data)
    .then((result) => { console.log(result) } )
    .then((err) => { console.log(err) } )

it returns an error:

TypeError: this.formData is not a constructor

this is my current package version:

"form-data": "^4.0.0"
"mailgun.js": "^3.4.0"

Am I missing something here? If not, might want to consider updating the documentation to something that works? 😃

Hmm I think it seems to be working now. Not too sure what was going on there. Does this mean it only works with form-data@3.0.1 then? Should that be something that’s part of the documentation or am I mistaken? Apologies, am not a js developer so I am not 100% sure around the practices

It should work with fresher version of form-data package.(At least for me it works with “form-data”: “^4.0.0” and “mailgun.js”: “^3.4.0”). I may be wrong but It seems like you had some npm problem when you tried to install packages the previous time. You can try a newer version but before the install makes sure that you removed node_modules and package-lock.json file if they exist.

@jtsw1990 I think you’re issue is elsewhere then. It works fine for me based on the code you provided. You are however missing a closing } in this statement const mg = mailgun.client({username: 'api', key: process.env.MAILGUN_API_KEY); But from the error you gave it doesn’t match up with missing a closing brace.

Are you able to set up a minimal public repository to reproduce the issue and provide a stack trace of where the issue is occuring?
