Interactive CLI to scaffold a full-stack MERN role-based auth app with Google OAuth and .env setup.

  service: 'gmail',
  auth: {
    user: process.env.GMAIL_USER,
    pass: process.env.GMAIL_PASS,
  },
});

const sendVerificationEmail = async (email, token) => {

  const mailOptions = {
    from: `"Authentication" <${process.env.GMAIL_USER}>`,
    to: email,
    subject: 'Verify your email address',
    html: `
      <h2>Welcome to Mern Auth 👋</h2>
      <p>Click the link below to verify your email:</p>
      <a href="${verificationLink}" target="_blank">${verificationLink}</a>
    `,
