Laravel 6/7 - Send Mail using Markdown Mailable Class

Sending email is, in my opinion, a key feature of any project. So I want to tell you how Laravel 6/7 send mail using markdown mailable class . We send emails with the class that can be sent in Laravel 7/6. Basically, we use the markdown email template in Laravel 7/6.

Laravel Markdown offers components, spreadsheets, email links, buttons, embedded images, etc. Nice markdown design that you can use with the email template.

In this tutorial, I will explain how to Laravel 6/7 send mail using markdown mailable class . This is very easy and the best way. You only have to follow a few steps and get a simple example of sending emails in your Laravel 6 application.

Follow the next step in your Laravel 6 project.

Step 1: Set Mail Configuration

The first step is to add your Gmail SMTP settings like your username, password, etc. So open your ENV file and add your settings.

.env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com

MAIL_PORT=587

MAIL_USERNAME=itsolutionstuff@gmail.com

MAIL_PASSWORD=mypassword

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Step 2: Create Mailable Class with Markdown

Laravel 6 introduces a new class that can be broadcast so that we can easily use it as a Laravel event. You can reuse them anywhere in your Laravel application. So first create the Mailable class with the craft command and then trigger the following command:

php artisan make:mail MyDemoMail --markdown=emails.myDemoMail

Ok, now you can see a new file in your application folder (app / Mail / MyDemoMail.php). So open this file and enter the following code.

app/Mail/MyDemoMail.php

<?php

   

namespace App\Mail;

   

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;

use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

   

class MyDemoMail 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->markdown('emails.myDemoMail')

                    ->with('details', $this->details);

    }

}

Step 3: Create Route

In this step we add a new path for the test email. So open your web path file and add the following path.

routes/web.php

Route::get('my-demo-mail','HomeController@myDemoMail');

Step 4: Create Controller Method

Now we insert myDemoMail () in the controller file "HomeController". We write the send code of the mail in this file. So if you haven't created a HomeController, create the HomeController.php file and enter the following code.

In the variable $ myEmail you can configure your own email to test the email.

app/Http/Controllers/HomeController.php

<?php

   

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

  

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Mail\MyDemoMail;

use Mail;

   

class HomeController extends Controller

{

  

    /**

     * Show the application dashboard.

     *

     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable

     */

    public function myDemoMail()

    {

        $myEmail = 'aatmaninfotech@gmail.com';

   

        $details = [

            'title' => 'Mail Demo from ItSolutionStuff.com',

            'url' => 'https://www.itsolutionstuff.com'

        ];

  

        Mail::to($myEmail)->send(new MyDemoMail($details));

   

        dd("Mail Send Successfully");

    }

}

Step 5: Add View File

In the last step we create an email template file. So first create the "E-Mails" folder in your resource folder, create the myDemoMail.blade.php file and enter the following code.

resources/views/emails/myDemoMail.blade.php

@component('mail::message')

# {{ $details['title'] }}

  

The body of your message. 

   

@component('mail::button', ['url' => $details['url']])

Button Text

@endcomponent

   

Thanks,<br>

{{ config('app.name') }}

@endcomponent

Ok, now you can run our test example. Try it ...

You can run your project with the following command:

php artisan serve

Now open this URL:

http://localhost:8000/my-demo-mail

You will receive an email.
