In this tutorial, I will give you step-by-step instructions to send emails using markdown in laravel 10. so, just follow bellow few steps and make it done.

Step 1: Install Laravel 10

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Make Configuration

In first step, you have to add send mail configuration with mail driver, mail host, mail port, mail username, mail password so laravel 10 will use those sender configuration for sending email. So you can simply add as like following.

.env

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_USERNAME=mygoogle@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=rrnnucvnqlbsl
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=mygoogle@gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Step 3: Create Mailable Class with Markdown

In this step we will create mail class MyDemoMail for email sending. Here we will write code for which view will call and object of user. So let's run bellow command.

php artisan make:mail MyDemoMail --markdown=emails.myDemoMail

now, let's update code on MyDemoMail.php file as bellow:

app/Mail/MyDemoMail.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Mail;
  
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailables\Content;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailables\Envelope;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
  
class MyDemoMail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;
    public $mailData;
  
    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     */
    public function __construct($mailData)
    {
        $this->mailData = $mailData;
    }
  
    /**
     * Get the message envelope.
     */
    public function envelope(): Envelope
    {
        return new Envelope(
            subject: 'Mail from ItSolutionStuff.com',
        );
    } 
  
    /**
     * Get the message content definition.
     */
    public function content(): Content
    {
        return new Content(
            markdown: 'emails.myDemoMail',
        );
    }
  
    /**
     * Get the attachments for the message.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function attachments(): array
    {
        return [];
    }
}

Step 4: Create Controller

In this step, we will create MailController with index() method where we write code for sending mail to given email address. so first let's create controller by following command and update code on it.

php artisan make:controller MailController

Now, update code on MailController file.

app/Http/Controllers/MailController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
   
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Mail;
use App\Mail\MyDemoMail;
  
class MailController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $mailData = [
            'title' => 'Mail from ItSolutionStuff.com',
            'url' => 'https://www.itsolutionstuff.com'
        ];
         
        Mail::to('to_your_email@gmail.com')->send(new MyDemoMail($mailData));
         
        dd("Email is sent successfully.");
    }
}

Step 5: Create Routes

In this step, we need to create routes for list of sending email. so open your "routes/web.php" file and add following route.

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\MailController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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('send-mail', [MailController::class, 'index']);

Step 6: Create Blade View

In this step, we will create blade view file and write email that we want to send. now we just write some dummy text. create bellow files on "emails" folder.

resources/views/emails/demoMail.blade.php

@component('mail::message')
# {{ $mailData['title'] }}
  
The body of your message.
  
@component('mail::button', ['url' => $mailData['url']])
