Add customer name in confirm mail notification laravel

To add the customer name in the confirm mail notification in Laravel, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a new notification

In your Laravel project, run the following command to create a new notification:

php artisan make:notification ConfirmEmailNotification

This will create a new file ConfirmEmailNotification.php in the app/Notifications directory.

Step 2: Modify the notification

In the ConfirmEmailNotification.php file, add the following code:

namespace App\Notifications;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage;

class ConfirmEmailNotification extends Notification
{
    use Queueable;

    private $customerName;

    public function __construct($customerName)
    {
        $this->customerName = $customerName;
    }

    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['mail'];
    }

    public function toMail($notifiable)
    {
        return (new MailMessage)
            ->subject('Confirm Your Email Address')
            ->greeting('Hello '. $this->customerName. '!')
            ->line('You are receiving this email because you requested to confirm your email address.')
            ->action('Confirm Email', url('/email/confirm'))
            ->line('Thank you for confirming your email address.');
    }
}

In this code, we're adding a new property customerName to the notification, and then using it in the toMail method to include the customer's name in the email subject and greeting.

Step 3: Update the email confirmation controller

In your EmailConfirmationController.php file, update the sendConfirmationEmail method to pass the customer's name to the notification:

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;

use App\Notifications\ConfirmEmailNotification;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class EmailConfirmationController extends Controller
{
    //...

    public function sendConfirmationEmail(Request $request)
    {
        $customer = Auth::user();
        $notification = new ConfirmEmailNotification($customer->name);
        $notification->send($request->user());
        return redirect()->route('home');
    }
}

In this code, we're creating a new instance of the ConfirmEmailNotification class and passing the customer's name to it. We then send the notification using the send method.

Step 4: Update the email template

In your resources/views/emails directory, update the confirm-email.blade.php file to include the customer's name:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Confirm Email</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello {{ $customerName }}!</h1>
    <p>You are receiving this email because you requested to confirm your email address.</p>
    <p><a href="{{ url('/email/confirm') }}">Confirm Email</a></p>
    <p>Thank you for confirming your email address.</p>
</body>
</html>

In this code, we're using the {{ $customerName }} variable to include the customer's name in the email template.

That's it! Now, when a user requests to confirm their email address, they should receive an email with their name included in the subject and greeting.
