How to use Laravel's Mail for sending emails with vue js triggers

To use Laravel's Mail for sending emails with Vue.js triggers, you can follow these general steps. I'll assume you already have Laravel and Vue.js set up in your project.

  1. Set Up Laravel Mail:

    • In your Laravel application, make sure you have configured your mail settings in the config/mail.php file. Set the driver to something like smtp or mailgun based on your preference.
    • Create a Mailable class using the following Artisan command:
      go
      php artisan make:mail MyCustomMail
    • Edit the MyCustomMail class to define the email content and subject.

  2. Create a Vue Component for Trigger:

    • Create a Vue.js component that will trigger the email sending. This could be a form or any other interface element.
    • You might use a library like Axios for making HTTP requests to your Laravel backend.

  3. Backend Controller for Handling Vue Trigger:

    • Create a controller in Laravel that handles the request from your Vue.js component. This controller will use the Mail functionality to send emails.

      php
      // ExampleController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
use App\Mail\MyCustomMail;

class ExampleController extends Controller
{
    public function sendEmail(Request $request)
    {
        // Validate your request data if needed
        // ...

        // Send email
        $emailData = $request->all(); // or get the data you need
        Mail::to($emailData['recipient_email'])->send(new MyCustomMail($emailData));

        return response()->json(['message' => 'Email sent successfully']);
    }
}

  4. Define a Route for the Controller:

    • In your web.php routes file or wherever your routes are defined, add a route for the controller.

      php
      // web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\ExampleController;

Route::post('/send-email', [ExampleController::class, 'sendEmail']);

  5. Make the Vue.js Component Send a Request:

    • In your Vue component, use Axios or any other HTTP library to make a request to your Laravel backend when the email trigger action happens.

      javascript
      // Your Vue component

methods: {
    sendEmail() {
        // Make an HTTP request to Laravel backend
        axios.post('/send-email', {
            recipient_email: 'recipient@example.com',
            // other data needed for the email
        })
        .then(response => {
            console.log(response.data.message);
            // Handle success if needed
        })
        .catch(error => {
            console.error('Error sending email:', error);
            // Handle error if needed
        });
    }
}

  6. Test:

    • Test your setup by triggering the email sending action from your Vue.js component.

This is a basic outline, and you may need to adapt it based on your specific requirements and the structure of your application. Additionally, make sure your Laravel application is properly configured to handle email sending based on your chosen mail driver.
