Step 1: Add Configuration
.env
MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailgun.org
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=postmaster@sandbox659a0eea69cc4..
MAIL_PASSWORD=73c29..
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=mygoogle@gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"
Step 2: Create Mail
Run the below command:
php artisan make:mail MyTestMail
Changes in this file: app/Mail/MyTestMail.php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
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 ItSolutionStuff.com’)
->view(’emails.myTestMail’);
}
}
Step 3: Create Blade View
In this step, we will create blade view file and write email that we want to send. now we just write some dummy text. create bellow files on “emails” folder.
resources/views/emails/myTestMail.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Website.com</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 bellow web route for testing send email.
routes/web.php
Route::get('send-mail', function () {
$details = [
'title' => 'Mail from domain-name.com',
'body' => 'This is for testing email using smtp'
];
\Mail::to('your_receiver_email@gmail.com')->send(new \App\Mail\MyTestMail($details));
dd("Email is Sent.");
});
