When the button is clicked, execute an ajax POST request to your express server, i.e "/contactus". /contactus can fetch the email, subject, and content out of the post data and send to the mail function.

In React:

$.ajax({
    url: '/contactus',
    dataType: 'json',
    cache: false,
    success: function(data) {
        // Success..

        console.error(status, err.toString());
    }.bind(this)
});

In express add the nodemailer code within an express post handler:

app.post('/contactus', function (req, res) {
    // node mailer code
});
