Welcome to you In this article. Today, we will discuss you how to Send Email in Laravel 8(Laravel 8 Send Email Example Tutorial). we are using SMTP to send email in this article. laravel provides a swiftmailer package library and we use that library in this example.
So, You can follow our steps to send an email in laravel.
Overview
Step 1: Install Laravel 8
Step 2: Email Configuration
Step 3: Create a Mailable class
Step 4: Create Blade Files
Step 5: Create Route in web.php file
Step 6: Run Our Laravel Application
Step 1: Install Laravel 8
We are going to install laravel 8, so first open the command prompt or terminal and go to xampp htdocs folder directory using the command prompt. after then run the below command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel8_sendmail
Step 2: Email Configuration
After the complete installation of laravel. we have to mail configuration. now we will open the .env file and define the mail_driver, mail_host, mail_port, mail_username, mail_password and mail_encryption in the .env file. See below changes in a .env file.
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com MAIL_PORT=587 MAIL_USERNAME= // some username MAIL_PASSWORD= // some password MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Step 3: Create a Mailable class
We will create mail class using below command. Now, if you want to pass object for view then you can write and pass the object in this file. so here we pass the student_detail in the below file.
.
php artisan make:mail MySendMail
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 8 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 the below route in the routes/web.php file.
<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\StudentController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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::class, 'mail']);
?>
StudentController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use App\Mail\MySendMail;
class StudentController extends Controller
{
public function mail()
{
$student_detail = [
'first_name' => 'test',
'last_name' => 'xyz'
'address' => 'test xyz'
];
Mail::to('[email protected]')->send(new MySendMail($student_detail));
return 'Email has been sent';
}
}
?>
Step 6: Run Our Laravel Application
We can start the server and run this example using the below command.
php artisan serve
Now we will run our example using the below Url in the browser.
http://127.0.0.1:8000/student
