Creating Laravel Email
In Laravel, every type of mail is sent from the application which is marked as a mailable class. The user can create any mailable class with any name and paste the standard command on the SSH terminal.
It makes use of all the free features available in the SwiftMailer library to send emails without any hassles. The templates of the email are fed into the same view which can imply blade syntax and push the data into the templates.
The below shows the standard attributes and syntax of send functions.
The standard syntax is void send (string| array $view, array $data, Close|string $callback)
The parameters used are $view (string | array) to view the name which comprises an email message. $data (array) to pass the view on data. $callback is a closure callback that receives the instance message which enables to customize the subjects, recipients, and other parts of the email message. These values return nothing and the description can be sent in the mail.
The third argument closure message instance is also comprised of other instances. The following messages and functions which are used for editing the messages is shown below,
$message -> subject ('welcome to educba')
$message -> from ([email protected], "EDUCBA")
$message -> to ([email protected] "EDUCBA")
Few of the common methods are,
$message → sender ([email protected] "EDUCBA");
$message → returnPath (([email protected]);
$message → cc ([email protected] "EDUCBA");
$message → bcc ([email protected] "EDUCBA");
$message → replyTo ([email protected] "EDUCBA");
$message → priority (3);
To assign the embed files, the user can choose,
$message -> attach ('path /to/attachment.txt');
$message -> embed ('path /to/attachment.txt');
$message -> attach ('path /to/attachment.pdf');
$message -> attach ('path /to/attachment.jpg');Laravel Email Installation

It can be configured free if is signed by an account. There are multiple options available for Laravel mail configuration. It offers a simple API with an advanced Swiftmailer library with adaptive drivers for Mailgun, Postmark, SMTP, Amazon SES, and Sendmail to enable the mails to send it quickly according to the format and choice of the user.
How to Send Email via Laravel?
The email via Laravel can be sent in text or HTML format. The user can indicate the format and type of the mail which can be passed as the first argument and the default is selected as HTML.
PHP artisan make: mail cloud hosting product
Once the above command is executed, the main class is created with the given name inside the cloud hosting product, so the user can create the file inside the app\ mail\ cloud hosting product.php
The user can define the mail address which needs to be communicated.
*/
public function build()
{
return $this -> from ("[email protected]")
> view ('emails.cloud hosting. Product.php);
}If the user has the same address across all the web applications, then it needs to be configured in the config file inside the folder config/ mail.php file inside the Laravel to use the code.
'from' => [ 'address' => ("[email protected]") 'mail name' => 'Application Name'],Inside the mailable class, the build technique is used in the view technique to mention the template which is used for mail communication to render the contents of the mail.
public function build ()
{
return $this -> view ('emails.cloud hosting. Product.php);
}To view the data and functions, the user can use all the options from mail templates to prevent the rendering of mails and can be implied effectively in two ways,
The public property is defined in the mailable class which automates the availability of views when the concerned data is provided. For example, if the user passes the constructor of a mailable class, he can configure the data in public properties which is defined inside the class. Once the data is configured to public property it automates the availability view. The template of Laravel mail can be configured as follows,
<div>
Name : { $name }
<//div>To configure the routes, create the route by writing the code to the web.php file.
Route :: get ('/send/mail’, 'HomeController@mail');The controller file is created with the standard user-preferred name and it should be scripted along with the home controller code.
public function mail ()
{
$name = 'educba';
Mail:: to ("[email protected]') -> send (new SendMail ($name);
return 'mail sent success';
}Conclusion
