Install Laravel 5.7
First We need Download fresh Laravel 5.7 setup. Use the below command to download the laravel 5.7 fresh setup on your system.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel LaravelMail
Configuration SMTP in .env
In this step, we will set SMTP credential in .env file. Let’s open .env file.
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
Note that:- If you are sending a mail using Gmail you have to allow non-secure apps to access Gmail you can do this by going to your Gmail settings here.
Once less secure apps are enabled; now you can use your Gmail for sending the emails.
Mailable Class
We need to create mailable class for sending emails, use the below command :
php artisan make:mail MailNotify
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
class MailNotify 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
}
}
Create Route & Blade View
We need to create route, open your routes/web.php in put the below route :
Route::get('laravel-send-email', 'EmailController@sendEMail');
Next, we need to create email blade view file in views folder of view. Go to the resources/views/emails and create a view file name email.blade.php. Put bellow code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Laravel Send Email Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is test mail from Tutsmake.com</h1>
<p>Thank you, {{ $user->name }}</p>
</body>
</html>
Create Controller & Method
We need to create new controller EmailController that will manage one method. lets use this below command and create Controller.
php artisan make:controller EmailController
Now open the controller let’s go to the => app/Http/Controllers/EmailController.php. Put the below Code
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Redirect,Response,DB,Config;
use Mail;
class EmailController extends Controller
{
public function sendEmail()
{
$user = auth()->user();
Mail::to($user)->send(new MailNotify($user));
if (Mail::failures()) {
return response()->Fail('Sorry! Please try again latter');
}else{
return response()->success('Great! Successfully send in your mail');
}
}
}
Start Development Server
In this step, we will use the php artisan serve command . It will start your server locally
php artisan serve
If you want to run the project diffrent port so use this below command
php artisan serve --port=8080
Now we are ready to run our example so run bellow command to quick run.
http://localhost:8000/laravel-send-email
If you are not run php artisan server command , direct go to your browser and type the url
http://localhost/LaravelMail /public/laravel-send-email
