Usage

Configure your mail template driver and credentials in config/mail-template.php.

Basic

After you've installed the package and filled in the values in the config-file working with this package will be a breeze. All the following examples use the facade. Don't forget to import it at the top of your file.

use MailTemplate;

$mailTemplate = MailTemplate::make()
    ->setSubject('Welcome aboard')
    ->setFrom(config('mail.name'), config('mail.email'))
    ->setRecipient('Recipient Name', '[email protected]')
    ->setLanguage('en')
    ->setTemplate('welcome-aboard')
    ->setVariables([
        'first_name' => 'Recipient',
    ]);
    
$response = $mailTemplate->send();

If an error occurs in the send method it will throw a SendError::responseError exception.

Via Notification

Create a new notification via php artisan:

php artisan make:notification WelcomeNotification

Set via to MailTemplateChannel:

/**
 * Get the notification's delivery channels.
 *
 * @param  mixed  $notifiable
 * @return array
 */
public function via($notifiable)
{
    return [MailTemplateChannel::class];
}

Implement toMailTemplate method and prepare your template:

public function toMailTemplate($notifiable)
{
    return MailTemplate::prepare(
        'Welcome aboard',
        [
            'name' => config('mail.from.name'),
            'email' => config('mail.from.email'),
        ],
        [
            'name' => $notifiable->full_name,
            'email' => $notifiable->email,
        ],
        $notifiable->preferredLocale(),
        'welcome-aboard',
        [
            'first_name' => $notifiable->first_name
        ]
    );
}

And that's it. When MailTemplateChannel will receive the notification it will automatically call send method from MailTemplate facade.

Mailjet Specifics

Mailjet API allows to set an email to debug templates. When a template error is encountered on email sending, Mailjet sends an error report to this mailbox. To do so, set the email in config/mail-template.php, in key mailjet.debug_email.
