Laravel provides a mail class to send emails. you can use several drivers for sending emails in laravel. you can use SMTP, Mailgun, Postmark, Amazon SES, and send an email. you have to configure on the env file what driver you want to use.
In this tutorial, I will give you step-by-step instructions to send emails in laravel 6. you can create a blade file design and also with dynamic information for mail layout. so let’s see step by step guide and send an email to your requirement.
Step 1: Make Configuration
In the first step, you have to add send mail configuration with mail driver, mail host, mail port, mail username, and mail password so laravel will use those sender details on email. So you can simply add as like following.
.env
MAIL_DRIVER=smtpMAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.comMAIL_PORT=587MAIL_USERNAME=mygoogle@gmail.comMAIL_PASSWORD=rrnnucvnqlbslMAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Step 2: Create Mail
In this step, we will create a mail class MyTestMail for email sending. Here we will write code for which view will call and the object of the user. So let’s run the below command.
php artisan make:mail MyTestMailapp/Mail/MyTestMail.php
<?phpnamespace App\Mail;use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;class MyTestMail extends Mailable{use Queueable, SerializesModels;public $details;/*** Create a new message instance.** @return void*/public function __construct($details){$this->details = $details;}/*** Build the message.** @return $this*/public function build(){return $this->subject('Mail from raviyatechnical')->view('emails.myTestMail');}}
Step 3: Create Blade View
In this step, we will create a blade view file and write the email that we want to send. now we just write some dummy text. create the below files in the “emails” folder.
resources/views/emails/myTestMail.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>raviyatechnical</title></head><body><h1>{{ $details['title'] }}</h1><p>{{ $details['body'] }}</p><p>Thank you</p></body></html>
Step 4: Add Route
Now at last we will create “MyTestMail” for sending our test email. so let’s create the below web route for testing and send an email.
routes/web.php
Route::get('send-mail', function () {$details = ['title' => 'Mail from raviyatechnical','body' => 'This is for testing email using smtp'];\Mail::to('your_receiver_email@gmail.com')->send(new \App\Mail\MyTestMail($details));dd("Email is Sent.");});
Now you can run and check examples.
It will send you an email, let's see.
