Laravel send email with mailable and mailtrap example. In this tutorial i will show you how to send mail in laravel with the mailable class. And also you will learn how to create mailable notification class in the laravel web applications
This is the first step, go to .env file and set SMTP details in .env file.
You could do like:
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com MAIL_PORT=587 MAIL_USERNAME=Add your user name here MAIL_PASSWORD=Add your password here MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
The above email SMTP details are default and necessary. You can also set the following things:
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS= MAIL_FROM_NAME=
The above are used by Laravel web applications when you will send emails/mails to users. The from email address and name part of the email that is displayed to users.
You can use the php artisan make:mail command to create a new mailable class in your laravel web application.
You could do like:
php artisan make:mail MailNotification
After that go to app/Mail and update the following code into your MailNotification class:
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
class MailNotification extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
//
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* @return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->view('view.name');
//here is your blade view name
}
}
This is the second step. in this step, we will create a controller for sending emails/mails.
Just open your command prompt (CMD) and go to your project root directory. Then type the below command for creating a new controller.
php artisan make:controller MailController
After that, You need to create one method in your controller. So go to the => app/Http/Controllers/MailController.php And update the below given code into your controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Redirect,Response,DB,Config;
use Mail;
class MailController extends Controller
{
public function sendEmail()
{
$data['title'] = "This is first mail from w3alert1.com";
$data['name']= 'w3alert1.com';
Mail::to($user)->send(new MailNotify($data));
if (Mail::failures()) {
return response()->Fail('Sorry! Please try again latter');
}else{
return response()->success('Great! Successfully send in your mail');
}
}
}
Next step, here you need to create one route and one blade view file.
So go to routes/web.php and update the following route in your file:
use App\Http\Controllers\MailController;
Route::get('lara-email-send', [MailController::class, 'sendEmail']);
After that, go to your resources/views/ and create a new blade view file name email.blade.php and update the below code into your file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Laravel Send Email Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is first mail using laravel mailable class </h1>
<p>Thank you, {{ $name }}</p>
</body>
</html>
Hit the following URL in your browser and test:
http://localhost:8000/lara-email-send
If you are not run PHP artisan server command, direct go to your browser and type the URL
http://localhost/your-project-name/public/lara-email-send
