First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2 – Configuration SMTP in .env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com 
MAIL_PORT=587 
MAIL_USERNAME=Add your user name here

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Step 3 – Install PDF Library

In this step we will install a pdf library in laravel to send pdf file as email attahcment. we will install niklasravnsborg/laravel-pdf Package via the composer dependency manager. Use the following command to install niklasravnsborg/laravel-pdf Package.

composer require niklasravnsborg/laravel-pdf

1	composer require niklasravnsborg/laravel-pdf

After Installing, we need to add service provider and alias in config/app.php file as following.

config/app.php

'providers' => [
    // ...
    niklasravnsborg\LaravelPdf\PdfServiceProvider::class
]
'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'PDF' => niklasravnsborg\LaravelPdf\Facades\Pdf::class
]

'providers' => [

// ...

niklasravnsborg\LaravelPdf\PdfServiceProvider::class

]

'aliases' => [

// ...

'PDF' => niklasravnsborg\LaravelPdf\Facades\Pdf::class

]

Now, execute the following command to publish package’s config file to your config directory by using following command:

php artisan vendor:publish

1	php artisan vendor:publish

Step 4 – Add Send Email Route

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

use App\Http\Controllers\SendEmailController;

Route::get('send-email-pdf', [SendEmailController::class, 'index']);

use App\Http\Controllers\SendEmailController;

Route::get('send-email-pdf', [SendEmailController::class, 'index']);

Step 5 – Create Directory And Blade View

In this step, we will create a directory name test inside resources/views directory. Then create an test.blade.php blade view file inside resources/views/ directory. And put the following code into it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <title>Laravel 8 Send Email Example</title>
</head>
<body>
 
 <h1>This is test mail</h1>
 <p>Laravel 8 send email example</p>
 
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Laravel 8 Send Email Example</title>

</head>

<body>

<p>Laravel 8 send email example</p>

</body>

</html>

Step 6 – Create Send Email Controller

Now, lets create a controller named SendEmailController using command given below –

php artisan make:controller SendEmailController

1	php artisan make:controller SendEmailController

Then go to app/Http/Controllers directory and open SendEmailController.php. Then put the following code into it:

<?php
 
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 
use Mail;
 
use PDF;
 
class SendEmailController extends Controller
{
     
    public function sendmail(Request $request){
        $data["email"]=$request->get("email");
        $data["client_name"]=$request->get("client_name");
        $data["subject"]=$request->get("subject");
 
        $pdf = PDF::loadView('test', $data);
 
        try{
            Mail::send('mails.mail', $data, function($message)use($data,$pdf) {
            $message->to($data["email"], $data["client_name"])
            ->subject($data["subject"])
            ->attachData($pdf->output(), "invoice.pdf");
            });
        }catch(JWTException $exception){
            $this->serverstatuscode = "0";
            $this->serverstatusdes = $exception->getMessage();
        }
        if (Mail::failures()) {
             $this->statusdesc  =   "Error sending mail";
             $this->statuscode  =   "0";
 
        }else{
 
           $this->statusdesc  =   "Message sent Succesfully";
           $this->statuscode  =   "1";
        }
        return response()->json(compact('this'));
 }
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Mail;

use PDF;

class SendEmailController extends Controller

{

public function sendmail(Request $request){

$data["email"]=$request->get("email");

$data["client_name"]=$request->get("client_name");

$data["subject"]=$request->get("subject");

$pdf = PDF::loadView('test', $data);

try{

Mail::send('mails.mail', $data, function($message)use($data,$pdf) {

$message->to($data["email"], $data["client_name"])

->subject($data["subject"])

->attachData($pdf->output(), "invoice.pdf");

});

}catch(JWTException $exception){

$this->serverstatuscode = "0";

$this->serverstatusdes = $exception->getMessage();

}

if (Mail::failures()) {

$this->statusdesc = "Error sending mail";

$this->statuscode = "0";

}else{

$this->statusdesc = "Message sent Succesfully";

$this->statuscode = "1";

}

return response()->json(compact('this'));

}

Step 7 – Run Development Server

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve
