Automatically fill out email on button click?

I want to showcase some javascript skills

I have a template made for emails that I want the user who views my project to be able to email the template to themselves so they can see it in action.

What are the steps I can do to get this done?

I’m assuming:

Use html/css to create email forms

Use html/css to create a send button

Use javascript to verify email and fields

Output a message when email is successfully sent

Can I use javascript to automatically fill the body of the email with my code?

You can pre-fill an email message body as well as the destination, subject etc.

Here's an article with tips on doing it from CSS-Tricks.
