Swift Mailer Laravel Bundle

The power of Swift Mailer with the beauty of Laravel.

Installation

Install using the Artian CLI:

php artisan bundle:install messages

then edit application/bundles.php to autoload messages:

<?php

return array(

'messages' => array(
    'auto' => true
),

You can then set your configuration at config/config.php.

A Few Examples

Changing configurations in runtime

<?php

Config::set('messages::config.transports.smtp.host', 'smtp.gmail.com');
Config::set('messages::config.transports.smtp.port', 465);
Config::set('messages::config.transports.smtp.username', 'someone@gmail.com');
Config::set('messages::config.transports.smtp.password', 'password');
Config::set('messages::config.transports.smtp.encryption', 'ssl');

Sending a message:

Sending a message couldn't be easier.

<?php

Message::send(function($message)
{
    $message->to('someone@gmail.com');
    $message->from('me@gmail.com', 'Bob Marley');

    $message->subject('Hello!');
    $message->body('Well hello Someone, how is it going?');
});

Or, you can simply chain the methods directly from the Message class.

<?php

Message::to('someone@gmail.com')
    ->from('me@gmail.com', 'Bob Marley')
    ->subject('Hello!')
    ->body('Well hello Someone, how is it going?')
    ->send();

Sending an email with HTML

<?php

Message::send(function($message)
{
    $message->to('someone@gmail.com');
    $message->from('me@gmail.com', 'Bob Marley');
    $message->subject('Hello!');

    $message->body('Well hello <b>Someone</b>, how is it going?');

    $message->html(true);
});

Using Views

Emails with HTML can become quite cumbersome. Therefore, it is recommended that you store your emails in views.

<?php

Message::send(function($message)
{
    $message->to('someone@gmail.com');
    $message->from('me@gmail.com', 'Bob Marley');

    $message->subject('Hello!');
    $message->body('view: emails.hello');

    // You can add View data by simply setting the value
    // to the message.
    $message->body->name = 'Someone';

    $message->html(true);
});

Sending an email with an attachment

<?php

Message::send(function($message)
{
    $message->to('someone@gmail.com');
    $message->from('me@gmail.com', 'Bob Marley');

    $message->subject('Hello!');
    $message->body('Well hello Someone, how is it going?');

    $message->attach('/path/to/file.extension');

    // or:
    $generated_content = 'Some content';

    $message->attach($generated_content, 'file-name.extension', 'mime/type');
});

Sending emails to multiple email addresses

<?php

Message::send(function($message)
{
    $message->to(array('someone@gmail.com', 'email@address.com' => 'name'));
    $message->cc('more@addresses.com');
    $messages->bcc(array('evenmore@address.com' => 'Another name', 'onelast@address.com'));

    $message->from('me@gmail.com', 'Bob Marley');
    $message->subject('Hello!');
    $message->body('I really like spamming people!');
});

Sending an email with a reply address

<?php

Message::send(function($message)
{
    $message->to('someone@gmail.com');
    $message->from('me@gmail.com', 'Bob Marley');
    $message->reply('replytome@gmail.com');

    $message->subject('Hello!');
    $message->body('Well hello Someone, how is it going?');
});

Checking if the message was sent

<?php

Message::send(function($message)
{
    $message->to(array('someone@gmail.com', 'email@address.com' => 'name'));
    $message->cc('more@addresses.com');
    $messages->bcc(array('evenmore@address.com' => 'Another name', 'onelast@address.com'));

    $message->from('me@gmail.com', 'Bob Marley');
    $message->subject('Hello!');
    $message->body('I really like spamming people!');
});

if(Message::was_sent())
{
    echo 'Sweet it worked!';
}

// You can even check if a specific email address received
// the message.
if(Message::was_sent('someone@gmail.com'))
{
    echo 'Someone got the email!';
}
