laravel-bmail

The Bluescale Mail package allows you to send Bluescale Mail templates using Laravel notifications system.

Installation

First in your composer.json, add:

"require": {
        "bluescale/laravel-bmail": "dev-master"
}

"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://git.bluesquare.io/bluescale/laravel-bmail"
        }
]

Next, update your package:

composer update bluescale/laravel-bmail

Eventually, if you want to customize the config system:

php artisan vendor:publish

Finally, copy your API key from Bluescale Mail (Templates section), and add it in your .env:

BMAIL_API_KEY=your_api_key

You may also want to use your own API:

BMAIL_API_URL=https://bluescale.email/api/project/template/send

Usage

First, create a new notification or use an existing one:

php artisan make:notification MyAwesomeNotification

Add BMailChannel in the via() method:

return [BMailChannel::class];

Then, create a 'toTemplate()' method, in which you specify your template fields :

public function toTemplate($notifiable)
{
    return (new BMailTemplate("my-template-id"))
        ->sender("john.doe@gmail.com", "John OPTIONAL") // OPTIONAL
        ->replyTo("jean.grey@gmail.com", "Jean OPTIONAL") // OPTIONAL
        ->recipients([
            [
                "elvis@gmail.com", [
                    "name" => "Elvis" // OPTIONAL,
                    "parameters" => ["key" => "value"] // OPTIONAL
                ]
            ],
            [
                "robert@gmail.com"
            ]
        ])
        ->addRecipient("edward@gmail.com") // OPTIONAL
        ->parameters(["key" => "value", "key" => "value"]) // OPTIONAL
        ->addParameter("key", "value") // OPTIONAL
        ;
}

The $notifiable is automaticaly added as recipient.

In your controller, you can now send your template:

User::first()->notify(new MyAwesomeNotification);
