To use Laravel's Mail for sending emails triggered by ReactJS, you'll typically follow these general steps:
Set up Laravel Mail:
config/mail.php
file.Create a Mailable:
This will generate a new Mailable class in thebashphp artisan make:mail YourMailClassName
App\Mail
directory.Configure Mailable:
App\Mail\YourMailClassName.php
) and configure it to define the email content and other details.Trigger Email from ReactJS:
Make an API Request from ReactJS:
axios
or fetch
to make a request to the Laravel backend's API endpoint that you created in step 4. Pass any necessary data to the backend, such as the recipient email address, subject, and other relevant information.Handle the Request in Laravel:
Mail::to()
method to specify the recipient and the send()
method to send the email.Here's a simplified example:
In your ReactJS component:
javascriptimport axios from 'axios';
const sendEmail = async () => {
try {
const response = await axios.post('/api/send-email', {
to: 'recipient@example.com',
subject: 'Your Email Subject',
// Other relevant data
});
console.log(response.data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error sending email:', error);
}
};
// Call the function when needed
sendEmail();
In your Laravel backend:
php// routes/api.php
Route::post('/send-email', 'EmailController@sendEmail');
// EmailController.php
use App\Mail\YourMailClassName;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
class EmailController extends Controller
{
public function sendEmail(Request $request)
{
$to = $request->input('to');
$subject = $request->input('subject');
// Other relevant data
// Send the email
Mail::to($to)->send(new YourMailClassName($subject, /* other data */));
return response()->json(['message' => 'Email sent successfully']);
}
}
Remember to adjust the code according to your specific needs and the structure of your Laravel application.
