Configuration

The simplest way to 🛠️ configure the EmailOTP package is by calling the config method.

void main() {
  EmailOTP.config(
    appName: 'MyApp',
    otpType: OTPType.numeric,
    emailTheme: EmailTheme.v1,
  );
}

SMTP Configuration (Required)

⚠️ IMPORTANT: As of version 3.1.0, this package no longer uses a default server. You MUST configure your own SMTP server to send emails.

  EmailOTP.setSMTP(
    host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
    emailPort: EmailPort.port587,
    secureType: SecureType.tls,
    username: 'your-email@gmail.com',
    password: 'your-app-password',
  );

Note: For Gmail, use an App Password if 2-Step Verification is enabled.

Advanced Configuration

For more control over the OTP generation and email settings, you can pass various parameters to the config method.

void main() {
  EmailOTP.config(
    appName: 'App Name',
    otpType: OTPType.numeric,
    expiry : 30000,
    emailTheme: EmailTheme.v6,
    appEmail: 'me@rohitchouhan.com',
    otpLength: 6,
    headers: {
      'Reply-To': 'support@rohitchouhan.com'
    }
  );
}

Parameters

1. host: The hostname of your SMTP server.
2. emailPort: The port number used by the SMTP server. Supported values include:
   • EmailPort.port25
   • EmailPort.port465
   • EmailPort.port587
   • EmailPort.port1025 (For MailHog/Local Testing)
3. secureType: The type of security used by the SMTP server. Supported values include:
   • SecureType.none
   • SecureType.tls
   • SecureType.ssl
4. username: The username for your SMTP server account.

Template (Optional)

You can also customize the email 🌐 template used to send the OTP. Use the setTemplate method to provide your own HTML template.

void main() {
  EmailOTP.config();
  EmailOTP.setTemplate(
    template: '''
    <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; padding: 20px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
      <div style="background-color: #fff; padding: 20px; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);">
        <h1 style="color: #333;">{{appName}}</h1>
        <p style="color: #333;">Your OTP is <strong>{{otp}}</strong></p>
        <p style="color: #333;">This OTP is valid for 5 minutes.</p>
        <p style="color: #333;">Thank you for using our service.</p>
      </div>
    </div>
    ''',
  );
}

Parameters

• template: A string containing the HTML content of your custom email template. Use placeholders such as {{appName}} and {{otp}} to dynamically insert the application name and OTP respectively.

By configuring these parameters and using a custom template, you can ensure that your OTP emails are tailored to match your application's branding and style.

Sending OTP

To 📧 send an 🔐 OTP to a user's email address, use the sendOTP method. This method takes the recipient's email address as a parameter.

  bool isSent = await EmailOTP.sendOTP(email: emailController.text);
  if (!isSent) {
    print(EmailOTP.lastError); // Prints specific error (e.g. SMTP Auth failed)
  }

Parameters

• email: The recipient's email address where the OTP will be sent.

Resending OTP

If a user requests a new OTP because they didn't receive the first one, you can use resendOTP instead of generating a new one. This will re-send the existing valid OTP. If it has already expired, a new one will automatically be generated.

  EmailOTP.resendOTP(email: emailController.text);

Verifying OTP

To verify an 🔐 OTP entered by the user, use the verifyOTP method. This method takes the OTP entered by the user as a parameter and returns a boolean indicating whether the OTP is correct.

  EmailOTP.verifyOTP(otp: otpController.text)

Parameters

• otp: The OTP entered by the user.

Get OTP

This code will print the OTP generated by the getOTP() method.

  print(EmailOTP.getOTP());

Is Expired

This method will helps you to validate your otp expiry time.

  print(EmailOTP.isExpired());

Example

👉 For a complete example, refer to the Email OTP package documentation.
