Send MAIL In Laravel 9

Today I am going to explain how you can send MAIL using SMTP in Laravel 9.

Laravel UI Installation.

After Installing Laravel 9 we will open the code in Editor.

Step - 1

Open .env file and change the MAIL Provider SMTP Details

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailhog
MAIL_PORT=1025
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

You can use MailTrap to generate basic SMTP Details and test your email faeture.

Step - 2

Now Generate the email class by running command

php artisan make:mail TestEmail

this command will generate the file in app/Mail/TestEmail.php

Open the file and update the code below.

<?php

namespace App\Mail;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

class TestEmail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;

    public $mailData;
    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($mailData)
    {
        $this->mailData = $mailData;
    }

    /**
     * Build the message.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    public function build()
    {
        return $this->subject('Test Email')->view('email.test');
    }
}

Step - 3

Now Let's create a blade view file, for that let's create email folder first inside resources/view.

Now create a test.blade.php file inside email folder and paste the code below.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>Test Email</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Test EMAIL</h1>
    <p>Name: {{ $mailData['name'] }}</p>
    <p>DOB: {{ $mailData['dob'] }}</p>
</body>
</html>

Step - 4

Now create a route to send email put the code below to routes/web.php


use App\Mail\TestEmail;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;

Route::get('send-email', function(){
    $mailData = [
        "name" => "Test NAME",
        "dob" => "12/12/1990"
    ];

    Mail::to("hello@example.com")->send(new TestEmail($mailData));

    dd("Mail Sent Successfully!");
});
