Lumen 5.4 with Laravel Mailable - laravel

Question

Naive question: is there a way to use Artisan to create a Mailable class within Lumen framework like this: php artisan make:mail OrderShipped (example taken from the docs).
Here is the composer.json
{
"name": "laravel/lumen",
"description": "The Laravel Lumen Framework.",
"keywords": ["framework", "laravel", "lumen"],
"license": "MIT",
"type": "project",
"require": {
"php": ">=5.6.4",
"laravel/lumen-framework": "5.4.*",
"vlucas/phpdotenv": "~2.2",
"firebase/php-jwt": "^4.0",
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.3",
"illuminate/mail": "5.4",
"phanan/cascading-config": "~2.0"
},
"require-dev": {
"fzaninotto/faker": "~1.4",
"phpunit/phpunit": "~5.0",
"mockery/mockery": "~0.9"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/"
}
},
"autoload-dev": {
"classmap": [
"tests/",
"database/"
]
},
"scripts": {
"post-root-package-install": [
"php -r \"copy('.env.example', '.env');\""
]
},
"minimum-stability": "dev",
"prefer-stable": true
}
This is how bootstrap/app.php has been modified (added all of these):
$app->withFacades( true, [
'Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail' => 'Mail',
]);
$app->register(\Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider::class);
$app->configure('mail');
$app->alias('mailer','Illuminate\Mail\Mailer');
config('mail');
And this is what php artisan gives me:

So again, how (if at all) can I use artisan to make:mail? If this is not achievable without full-blown Laravel, is there a template to create Mailable classes? Will they be usable?

Lumen 5.3 send email (no make:mail?)

Answer 1

Yes, there are some packages that allow that exactly. For example:
https://github.com/flipboxstudio/lumen-generator
As stated on their readme, to install the Composer package:
composer require flipbox/lumen-generator
And then add on bootstrap/app.php file:
$app->register(Flipbox\LumenGenerator\LumenGeneratorServiceProvider::class);
If you then run php artisan on command line, you get new commands:
