MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Step 4: Add Route

In this is step we need to create routes for items listing. so open your "routes/web.php" file and add following route.

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\PDFController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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-email-pdf', [PDFController::class, 'index']);

Step 5: Add Controller

Here,we require to create new controller PDFController that will manage index method of route. So let's put bellow code.

app/Http/Controllers/PDFController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use PDF;
use Mail;
  
class PDFController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $data["email"] = "aatmaninfotech@gmail.com";
        $data["title"] = "From ItSolutionStuff.com";
        $data["body"] = "This is Demo";
  
        $pdf = PDF::loadView('emails.myTestMail', $data);
  
        Mail::send('emails.myTestMail', $data, function($message)use($data, $pdf) {
            $message->to($data["email"], $data["email"])
                    ->subject($data["title"])
                    ->attachData($pdf->output(), "text.pdf");
        });
  
        dd('Mail sent successfully');
    }
}

<html>
<head>
