Emails: configure nodemailer with Gmail and Microsoft azure

1. Go to routes/contact.js. Inside this document there is the configuration user and password for gmail.

transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    service: 'Gmail',
    auth: {
        user: '<yourGMAILAccount>',
        pass: '<yourGMAILPassword>'
    }
});

2. There is not a good idea to publish this private data into github publicily. So you have to configure Enviroments variables.

3. Create config.json and set process Enviroments variables into nodeemailr.

4. Launch your application and pass your local Enviroments variable

GMAIL_PASSWD=YOURPASSWOED npm start

5. Now, we can say azure to work with this Enviroments vairbales.

From: http://tstringer.github.io/nodejs/azure/2015/11/24/get-and-set-node-azure-web-app-env-vars.html

$ npm install --save azure
$ azure login
$ azure site appsetting list your-web-app-name
$ azure site appsetting add NEW_ENVIRONMENT_VAR=yourValue your-web-app-name

$ azure site appsetting delete GMAIL_PASSWD newferreiro
$ azure site appsetting add GMAIL_PASSWD=<GMAILPASSWORD>;

In order to work on your server (in this case Microsoft azure) you have also add those variables into the server Enviroments variables
