In this post we will learn how to send email using Swiftmailer library.

Steps:

Step 1: Install Laravel and Create Application

Using gmail we will send an email in laravel so we have to configure our gmail credentials inside .env file

php artisan config:cache

Create Controller using artisan command as mention below

php artisan make:controller SendmailController

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Mail;

class SendmailController extends Controller
{
    
    public function index(){

     $data = array('content'=>"Test Mail using laravel - Blogshub.co.in!!");
  
      Mail::send(['text'=>'mailer'], $data, function($message) {
         $message->to('blogshub4@gmail.com', 'Blogshub')->subject('Test Mail using laravel - Blogshub.co.in');
         $message->from('blogshub@gmail.com','Blogshub');
      });
      
      echo "Mmail sent successfully.";
    }
}

Create view file resources\views\mailer.blade.php for mailer template.

<h1>Mail by blogshub.co.in</h1>

Create route in web.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controller\SendmailController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('sendmailer',[SendmailController::class],'index');

Run application and access route

php artisan serve
