Install Laravel App

First create new laravel application adding the following command in terminal.

Configuration SMTP & Database

In this step, we need to add the database credentials and update the smtp details in .env file like following:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=db name
DB_USERNAME=db user name
DB_PASSWORD=db password

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com 
MAIL_PORT=587 
MAIL_USERNAME=Add  user name here
MAIL_PASSWORD=Add  password here
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Create Mailable Class

Now we need to make the mail class using the following command:

php artisan make:mail NotifyMail

Now open the recent generated file and put the below code on it;

<?php
 
namespace App\Mail;
 
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
 
class NotifyMail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;
 
    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }
 
    /**
     * Build the message.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    public function build()
    {
        return $this->view('emails.test-email');
    }
}

Do not forget to add an email template name in build class of the above created notifymail class.

return $this->view('view.name');
to
return $this->view('emails.test-email');

Make Routes

In this step, open /web.php, so navigate to routes directory. And then open routes/web.php file add the following routes for send email;

Route::get('send-email', function(){

$details['email'] = 'your_email@gmail.com';

dispatch(new App\Jobs\SendEmailJob($details));

dd('done');
});

Create Blade Files

Now create an test-mail.blade.php blade view file inside resources/views/emails directory and update the following code into it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <title>Laravel 9 Send Email Example</title>
</head>
<body>
 
 <h1>This is test mail from Tutsmake.com</h1>
 <p>Laravel 9 send email example</p>
 
</body>
</html>

Configuration Mail Queue

In this step, configuration on queue driver. So open .env file and define database queue driver on “.env” file like following:

QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

Then open the terminal and run following command for queue database tables:

php artisan queue:table

Next, migrate tables into database:

php artisan migrate

Build Queue Job For Sending Mail

In this step. create queue job using the following command:

php artisan make:job SendEmailJob

Then open SendEmailJob.php file which is placed on “app/Jobs” directory. And update the following mail queue code into it:

<?php
   
namespace App\Jobs;
   
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use App\Mail\SendEmailTest;
use Mail;
   
class SendEmailJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
   
    protected $details;
   
    /**
     * Create a new job instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($details)
    {
        $this->details = $details;
    }
   
    /**
     * Execute the job.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $email = new SendEmailTest();
        Mail::to($this->details['email'])->send($email);
    }
