Laravel send email without Mailable

Introduction

Sometimes I forget how to send email in laravel without having to create a Mailable, and every time I get that problem, I always do a search on the internet, it’s quite often. finally after I created this blog and one of its functions is to document problems when I work. so I made this article because maybe you guys also have the same problem as me.

How to do that ?

Here’s how to send email in laravel without creating ‘Mailable‘ first.

1. Send Raw Message (Plain Text)

<?php

$email   = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'This is the subject of the email;

Mail::raw('Hello, welcome to Laravel!', function ($message) use($email, $subject) {
  $message->to($email)->subject($subject);
});

2. Send Plain Text Message with variable in body

<?php

$email   = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'This is the subject of the email';

Mail::plain('Hello {{ $name }}, welcome to Laravel!', ['name' => 'Dani'] function ($message) use($email, $subject) {
  $message->to($email)->subject($subject);
});

3. Send Message with Blade Template

<?php

//Send email with data and template from 'resource/views'


$email   = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'This is the subject of the email';

$data = [
    "name" => "Dani"
];

Mail::send('template.email', $data, function ($message) use($email, $subject) {
  $message->to($email)->subject($subject);
});
