I searched the past days without any outcome to accomplish exact this: a raw mail that can be queued.
Unfortunately I didn't found a solution without using Mailables and Views.
I assume you have the same reason as me: You want to send a 100% dynamically generated Mail from a string.
My solution was:
- creating a view that only contains one variable:
<?php echo $content;
- create a mailable, passing the content to the constructor and set it to
$this->content
- copy everything inside the old mail-closure into the build-method of the mailable and replace every
$message->
with $this
- queue it ;)
public function send(Request $request) {
$to = "test@example.org";
$subject = "email de test";
$content = "bonjour";
Mail::send(new RawMailable($to, $subject, $content));
}
view (/ressources/view/emails/raw.blade.php):
{!! $content !!}
mailable:
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Dingo\Api\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
class RawMailable extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels, ShouldQueue;
private $mailTo;
private $mailSubject;
// the values that shouldnt appear in the mail should be private
public $content;
// public properties are accessible from the view
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* @param LayoutMailRawRequest $request
*/
public function __construct($to, $subject, $content)
{
$this->content = $content;
$this->mailSubject = $subject;
$this->mailTo = $to;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* @throws \Exception
*/
public function build()
{
$this->view('emails.raw');
$this->subject($this->mailSubject)
->to($this->mailTo);
}
}
