MySendMail.php

<?php

namespace App\Mail;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

class MySendMail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;
    public $student_detail;

    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($student_detail)
    {
        $this->student_detail = $student_detail;
    }

    /**
     * Build the message.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    public function build()
    {
        return $this->view('emails.mySendMail');
    }
}
?>

Step 4: Create Blade Files

First we will create the new directory “resources/views/emails” and that directory in create a “resources/views/emails/mySendMail.blade.php” file.

mySendMail.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel 6 Send Email Example - XpertPhp</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
	 <p>{{ $student_detail['first_name'] }}</p>
	 <p>{{ $student_detail['last_name'] }}</p>
	 <p>{{ $student_detail['address'] }}</p>
	 <p>Thank you</p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Step 5: Create Route in web.php file

We have to need put below route in routes/web.php file.

<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
Route::get('/', function () {
   // return view('welcome');	
});
Route::get('/send/email', 'StudentController@mail');
?>

StudentController.php

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use App\Mail\MySendMail;

class StudentController extends Controller
{
    public function mail()
	{
	 $student_detail = [
        'first_name' => 'test',
        'last_name' => 'xyz'
        'address' => 'test xyz'
		];
	   Mail::to('test@gmail.com')->send(new MySendMail($student_detail));
	   
	   return 'Email has been sent';
	}
}
?>
