Laravel - Send Email Example

In order to send an email message from laravel, there are numerous ways to do so. Here is the least complicated one.

1. Create email
   

   php artisan make:mail MyTestMail​
   
   //This will create this file app/Mail/MyTestMail.php

   
   


2. Create .blade view in views/emails folder
   

   //resources/views/emails/myTestMail.blade.php
   
   
   
   {{-- @component('mail::message') --}}
   
   <div style="padding: 20px 40px;border: 0px solid red;background-color:#fff;"">
   
   <br> Hello <b>{{$data['formData']['emailAddress']}},</b> <br><br>
   
   Your friend, <i><b>'{{$data['formData']['senderName']}}'</b></i> shared this bill event with you.
   
   <br><br>
   
   Bill info : <br>
   
   
   
   <span style=''>
   
   Bill <b>{{$data['formData']['billNumber']}} {{$data['formData']['billTitle']}}</b>  <br> 
   
   {{-- Bill Event Id: {{$data['formData']['eventId']}} <br> --}}
   
   Bill Event : {{$data['formData']['eventName']}} <br>
   
   Clock <a href="{{$data['formData']['eventFile']}}"> the event file </a> to download <br>
   
   </span> <br>
   
   
   
   @php 
   
   $billId = $data['formData']['billId'];
   
   @endphp 
   
   
   
   To view this bill please click <a href="@if($data['formData']['billType'] == 'federal'){{ route('bill',['id'=>$billId]) }}@else{{ route('provincialBill',['id'=>$data['bill']->id]) }}@endif">here</a>.
   
   
   
   <br>
   
   <br>
   
   Thanks,<br><br>
   
   {{ config('app.name') }}
   
   </div>
   
   {{-- @endcomponent --}}​

   
   


3. Add routing
   

   Route::get('shareByEmail'  ,['as'=>'shareByEmail' ,'uses'=>'Member@shareByEmail']);​

   
   


4. Send the email message
   

   public function shareByEmail(Request $request){
   
           $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
   
               'emailAddress'       => 'required|email',
   
           ]);
   
           $errors = $validator->errors();
   
                   
   
           if(count($errors))
   
           {//NO Errors
   
               $responseArray['myResponseMessage'] = view("template.response",['errors'=> $errors ])->render();
   
               $responseArray['myResponseStatus']  = true ;
   
               $responseArray['myResponseStatusResult']  = false ;
   
           }
   
           else
   
           {
   
               $formData = $request->all();
   
               $loggedInUserId  = Auth::user() ;
   
               $formData['senderEmail'] = $loggedInUserId->email;
   
               $formData['senderName'] = $loggedInUserId->name;
   
   
   
               $data = [
   
                   'formData' => $formData,
   
               ];
   
           
   
               \Mail::to($formData['emailAddress'])->send(new \App\Mail\ShareByEmail($data));
   
   
   
               $responseArray['myResponseStatus']  = true ;
   
               $responseArray['myResponseMessage'] = view("template.response",['successInfo'=>"Your invitation message has been successfully sent"])->render();
   
               $responseArray['myResponseStatusResult']  = true ;
   
             }
   
   
   
           if(TheRequest::ajax()){
   
               return response()->json($responseArray);
   
           }
   
           return $responseArray 
   
       }​

   
   


5. In case you needed the ajax call, here it is:
   

   $('#shareByEmailBTN').on('click', function(){ 
   
       $("#modalResponseDiv").html('');
   
   
   
       var theForm = $("#shareByEmailForm") ;
   
       var action = theForm[0].action;
   
       var method = theForm[0].method;
   
       var formData = theForm.serialize();
   
                       
   
       $.ajax({
   
           type: "post",
   
           url: action,
   
           data:formData,
   
           beforeSend: function(){
   
               loader('modalResponseDiv', "afterbegin");
   
           },
   
           headers: {
   
                       'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
   
                   },
   
           dataType: "json",
   
           success: function (msg) {//alert('Success');
   
   
   
               if (msg) {
   
                   if(msg['myResponseStatus'])
   
                       {
   
                           $("#modalResponseDiv").html(msg['myResponseMessage']);
   
   
   
                           if(msg['myResponseStatusResult'] === true) {
   
                               setTimeout(()=>{
   
                                   $("#shareModal").modal('hide');
   
                                   theForm.trigger("reset");
   
                                   $("#modalResponseDiv").html('');
   
                               }, 3000);
   
                           }
   
                       }
   
                   else
   
                       {
   
                           //The process has failed on srerver
   
                           alert('Nooo');
   
                       }
   
   
   
               } else {
   
                   alert('There is NO message');
   
               }
   
           },
   
   
   
       }).done(function(msg){
   
           Removeloader();
   
       }).fail(function () {alert('Failure');
   
           alert('Failed to load.');
   
       }); 
   
   
   
   });​
