Best way to set up in Laravel 7.0

[alvarose]

In my new Laravel 7.0 project, I don't know how to configure SparkPost with this package. In the ReadMe it is not very clear how to do it.

Hi,

I can see that Laravel 7.x have changed the settings name in .env from MAIL_DRIVER to MAIL_MAILER so i have updated the readme.

1. You have to install the package.

composer require vemcogroup/laravel-sparkpost-driver

2. Then in your config/services.php you need to insert this

   'sparkpost' => [
   'secret' => env('SPARKPOST_SECRET'),
   'guzzle' => [
       'verify' => true,
       'decode_content' => true,
       ...
   ],
   'options' => [
       'endpoint' => env('SPARKPOST_ENDPOINT'),
       'open_tracking' => false,
       'click_tracking' => false,
       'transactional' => true,
   ],
   ],

Then insert the following into your .env file with the correct values from your sparkpost account

MAIL_MAILER=sparkpost
SPARKPOST_SECRET=
SPARKPOST_ENDPOINT=

Then your application will use sparkpost.

config/mail.php also changed in Laravel 7.0

With your config: Mailer [sparkpost] is not defined.

You need to add the sparkpost settings (2) in mail.php 'mailer' section instead of services.php:

'mailers' => [
    'sparkpost' => [
        'secret' => env('SPARKPOST_SECRET'),
        'guzzle' => [
            'verify' => true,
            'decode_content' => true,
           ...
        ],
        'options' => [
            'endpoint' => env('SPARKPOST_ENDPOINT'),
            'open_tracking' => false,
            'click_tracking' => false,
            'transactional' => true,
        ],
    ],
]

At the moment, I get a 503 errorService Temporarily Unavailable. I will continue testing.

Hi @AlvaroSE think i found out a way to use this package in L7, have updated the README.ME with and Laravel 7.x description in the bottom.

Let me know if it works

[alvarose]

In my case no, I still getting error 503. :(

also not working for my Laravel 7 installation

[eldor]

I just tried a new L7 installation with the setup in Readme and mails are sent from the system without issues. Could you add some logs or error messages?
