Laravel sending e-mails to new registered users - laravel

Question

I'm trying to send e-mails to new users. I made changes in my env. file. I am using a gmail.com mail service. I want to send e-mails to users including their name. Ex:
Hi John, your registration is succesful!
Here John part will be user name.
my code is here in RegistrationController:
protected function create(array $data)
{
$user = User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
]);
$to_name = $data['name'];
$to_email= $data['email'];
$body =[];
$mailData=array('body'=>$body);
Mail::send('email.email-register', $mailData, function($message) use ($to_name, $to_email ){
$message->to($to_email, $to_name)->subject('Registration is succesfull!');
$message->from(env('MAIL_USERNAME'));
});
return $user;
}
Also i am using a mail template. I want to send user as variable to the view. How do i do that?

Answer 1

1- You need to run command php artisan make:mail RegisterMail
2- Add Library use App\Mail\RegisterMail;
Mail::to('YourEmail#gmail.com')->send(new RegisterMail($mailData));
3- Create a new Data Member in your App\Mail\RegisterMail.php Class
public $mailData;
public function __construct($mailData)
{
$this->mailData = $mailData;
}
4- Add this in your App\Mail\RegisterMail.php
public function build(){
return $this->from('youremail#gmail.com','your name')->replyTo('youremail#gmail.com')->subject($this->mailData['subject'])->view('email')->with('mailData',$this->mailData);
}
