Laravel Send Email Using Mailable Class Example
- Install laravel Fresh Setup
- Configuration SMTP in .env
- Mailable Class
- Create Route & Blade View

Install Laravel 8
First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command
|
1 |
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel larablog |
Configure Database In .env file
Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=larablog DB_USERNAME=root DB_PASSWORD= |
Configuration SMTP in .env
Now we will configure SMTP credentials in the .env file. Let’s open .env file.
.env
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
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 |
Mailable Class
Now, create a mailable class for sending emails, use the following command :
|
1 |
php artisan make:mail MailNotify |
|
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 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 |
<?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
Now, we need to create a route to send email, open your routes/web.php input the below route :
|
1 |
Route::get('laravel-send-email', 'EmailController@sendEmail'); |
Next, we will create an 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:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Laravel Send Email Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>This is test mail</h1> <p>Thank you, {{ $user->name }}</p> </body> </html> |
Create Controller & Method
In this step we will create a new controller EmailController with one method to send email. Open your terminal and run following command to create controller:
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller EmailController |
Now open the controller file and 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 |
<?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'); } } } |
Run Development Server
In this step, we will start the development server using following command:
|
1 |
php artisan serve |
Now, visit the following link to send email:
|
1 |
http://localhost:8000/laravel-send-email |
