Php artisan make mail

A new mail!

php artisan make:mail is a command in Laravel that helps you create a new mail class. Here's what it does:

1. It generates a new PHP class in the app/Mail directory with a name based on the input you provide.
2. The class extends the Illuminate\Mail\Mailable class, which provides a basic structure for creating mail messages.
3. The class includes a build() method, which is where you'll define the content and layout of your mail message.

To use this command, simply run:

php artisan make:mail [MailName]

Replace [MailName] with the name you want to give your mail class. For example:

php artisan make:mail WelcomeEmail

This will generate a new file WelcomeEmail.php in the app/Mail directory.

Here's an example of what the generated code might look like:

// app/Mail/WelcomeEmail.php

namespace App\Mail;

use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;

class WelcomeEmail extends Mailable
{
    public function build()
    {
        return $this->markdown('emails.welcome');
    }
}

In this example, the WelcomeEmail class extends the Mailable class and defines a build() method that returns a Markdown instance. The markdown method specifies the view file that will be used to render the mail message.

You can then use this mail class in your Laravel application to send mail messages. For example:

// app/Http/Controllers/AuthController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Mail\WelcomeEmail;

class AuthController extends Controller
{
    public function register(Request $request)
    {
        //...

        Mail::to($user->email)->send(new WelcomeEmail());

        //...
    }
}

In this example, the AuthController sends a WelcomeEmail instance to the user's email address using the Mail facade.

That's it! With php artisan make:mail, you can quickly create new mail classes and start sending custom mail messages in your Laravel application.
