# Beautymail for Laravel

Beautymail makes it super easy to send beautiful responsive HTML emails. It's made for things like:

* Welcome emails
* Password reminders
* Invoices
* Data exports

If you're on Laravel 4, use the `1.x` branch.

## Templates

There are tons of great looking HTML email templates out there. Campaign Monitor and Mailchimp has released hundreds for free. It is pretty simple to adapt a template to Beautymail. If you do, please send a PR.

## Installation

Add the package to your `composer.json` by running:

composer require snowfire/beautymail

When it's installed, publish assets to your public folder

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Snowfire\Beautymail\BeautymailServiceProvider"

Configure your settings such as logo url and social links in `config/beautymail.php`

## Send your first Beauty mail

Add this to your `routes/web.php`

```php
Route::get('/test', function()
{
$beautymail = app()->make(Snowfire\Beautymail\Beautymail::class);
$beautymail->send('emails.welcome', [], function($message)
{
$message
->from('[email protected]')
->to('[email protected]', 'John Smith')
->subject('Welcome!');
});

});
```

Now create `resources/views/emails/welcome.blade.php`

```html
@extends('beautymail::templates.widgets')

@section('content')

@include('beautymail::templates.widgets.articleStart')

Hello World


This is a test

@include('beautymail::templates.widgets.articleEnd')

@include('beautymail::templates.widgets.newfeatureStart')

Hello World again


This is another test

@include('beautymail::templates.widgets.newfeatureEnd')

@stop
```

That's it!

## Options

### _Template:_ Widgets

To change colours for the different segments, pass a colour variable:

```php
@include('beautymail::templates.widgets.articleStart', ['color' => '#0000FF'])
```

@include('beautymail::templates.minty.button', ['text' => 'Sign in', 'link' => '#'])





@include('beautymail::templates.minty.contentEnd')

```

### Ark template example

])

@include('beautymail::templates.ark.contentStart')

'level' => 'h2'
])

@include('beautymail::templates.ark.contentStart')

@stop
```

#### Sunny template example

```html
@extends('beautymail::templates.sunny')

@section('content')

@include ('beautymail::templates.sunny.heading' , [
'heading' => 'Hello!',
'level' => 'h1',
])

@include('beautymail::templates.sunny.contentStart')

Today will be a great day!

@include('beautymail::templates.sunny.contentEnd')

@include('beautymail::templates.sunny.button', [
'title' => 'Click me',
'link' => 'http://google.com'
])

@stop
```

## Lumen support

In order to get this working on Lumen follow the installation instructions except for the `artisan vendor:publish` command, since Lumen does not provide this command. Instead you have to copy the assets folder from `vendor/snowfire/beautymail/public/` to the public folder in your Lumen project manually.

Make sure to also put the `beautymail.php` config file in the `config` folder (default available in `src/config/settings.php`)

### Enable mailing in Lumen

After this you will need to install and configure `illuminate/mailer` with:

composer require illuminate/mail

and add this to your `bootstrap/app.php`:

$app->withFacades();
$app->register(App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class);

See [this blog post](https://medium.com/@edwardsteven/using-lumen-and-laravel-mail-with-mailgun-270415daed37) for more details and how to use different mail libraries in lumen:

### Configure Beautymail classes and configuration parameters

In order to get Beautymail working on Lumen you need to add the following to your `bootstrap/app.php` in order to resolve missing config files, parameters and classes (before you register `BeautymailServiceProvider`):

// Provide required path variables
$app->instance('path.config', env("STORAGE_DIR", app()->basePath()) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'config');
$app->instance('path.public', env("STORAGE_DIR", app()->basePath()) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'public');

// Enable config for beautymail
$app->configure('beautymail');

// Provide class alliases to resolve Request and Config
class_alias(\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request::class, "\Request");
class_alias(\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Config::class, "\Config");

### Start using Beautymail
