How can i pass the variables in the Mail body with laravel? - laravel

Question

I want to pass the variables in my mail body how can I do that.
I am doing.
I want to send the mail template which is coming from DB, In that template, I have defined the variables to be get replaced when it is sent.
`$record = DB::table('email_templates')->select('content','em_temp_id')->where('em_temp_id',
$request->select_temp)->where('is_active', 1)->first();
$body = htmlspecialchars_decode($record->content);' //the html body
and my mail function
'Mail::send([],[], function($message) use ($Toarray, $ToCCarray, $ToBCCarray, $subject, $body,
$is_plainOrHtml){
$message->to($Toarray, '');
$message->cc($ToCCarray, '');
$message->bcc($ToBCCarray, '');
$message->subject($subject);
$message->setBody($body, 'text/html'); //for plain text email
});'
Template in DB is like:
`<p>Dear {{$userName}},</p>
<p>The {{$service_provider}}, requesting you to join <strong>{{$channel}}</strong> service.
</p>`
Array to pass:
`$arr_pass['userName'] = 'John';
$arr_pass['service_provider'] = 'abc.com';
$arr_pass['channel'] = 'Tom';`
How can i pass this array in the mail body?

Answer 1

You can use Blade::compileString, which will translate the blade template that you read from the database. There is one tricky part when you do so - how to send the variables' data.
Here are some hints:
You could use this library: https://github.com/TerrePorter/StringBladeCompiler
You could use a BladeCompiler similar to Is there any way to compile a blade template from a string?
Roll your own compiler by checking the implementation of https://laravel.com/api/8.x/Illuminate/View/Compilers/BladeCompiler.html

You can create a new Mail class by extending Mailable class and pass your array to the constructor of the Mail class.
Here in the below example, RFIRequestMail is a Mail class created in App\Mail Directory.
RFIRequestMail.php
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
class RFIRequestMail extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
public $verifierData;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct($data)
{
$this->data = $data;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->view('mail-view-template');
}
}
MailController
$sendData = User::find($id);
$data = User::find($company_id);
$sendData["link"] = env("APP_URL");
$sendData["year"] = $request->get("year");
$sendData["user"] = $data->first_name.' '.$data->last_name;
Mail::to($data->email)->send(new RFIRequestMail($sendData));
