1. Install Laravel Fresh Setup
First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel using the below command
|
1 |
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog |
2. Configuration SMTP in .env

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 |
3. Create Route & Blade View
After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.
routes/web.php
|
1 |
Route::get('laravel-send-email', 'EmailController@sendEmail'); |
Next, we will create email blade view file in view folder of view. Go to the resources/views/ and create a view file name email.blade.php. Put bellow code:
|

<h1>{{ $title }}</h1> <p>This is my first Email using Laravel Application</p> |
4. Create Controller & Method
Now, lets create a controller named EmailController using command given below –
|

php artisan make:controller EmailController |
Now open the controller let’s go to app/Http/Controllers/EmailController.php. Put the following code in it:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Redirect,Response,DB,Config; use Mail; class EmailController extends Controller { public function sendEmail() { $data['title'] = "This is Test Mail"; Mail::send('emails.email', $data, function($message) { $message->to('yoursite@gmail.com', 'Receiver Name') ->subject('Test Mail'); }); if (Mail::failures()) { return response()->Fail('Sorry! Please try again latter'); }else{ return response()->success('Great! Successfully send in your mail'); } } } |
5. Run Development Server
Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –
|

php artisan serve |
Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –
