replace password reset mail template with custom template laravel 5.3 - laravel

Question

I did the laravel command for authentication system , php artisan make:auth it made the authentication system for my app and almost everything is working.
Now when i use the forgot password and it sends me a token to my mail id , i see that the template contains laravel and some other things that i might wanna edit or ommit, to be precise , i want my custom template to be used there.
I looked up at the controllers and their source files but i can't find the template or the code that is displaying the html in the mail.
How do i do it ?
How do i change it?
This is the default template that comes from laravel to the mail.

Answer 1

Just a heads up: In addition to the previous answer, there are additional steps if you want to modify the notification lines like You are receiving this..., etc. Below is a step-by-step guide.
You'll need to override the default sendPasswordResetNotification method on your User model.
Why? Because the lines are pulled from Illuminate\Auth\Notifications\ResetPassword.php. Modifying it in the core will mean your changes are lost during an update of Laravel.
To do this, add the following to your your User model.
use App\Notifications\PasswordReset; // Or the location that you store your notifications (this is default).
/**
* Send the password reset notification.
*
* #param string $token
* #return void
*/
public function sendPasswordResetNotification($token)
{
$this->notify(new PasswordReset($token));
}
Lastly, create that notification:
php artisan make:notification PasswordReset
And example of this notification's content:
/**
* The password reset token.
*
* #var string
*/
public $token;
/**
* Create a new notification instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct($token)
{
$this->token = $token;
}
/**
* Get the notification's delivery channels.
*
* #param mixed $notifiable
* #return array
*/
public function via($notifiable)
{
return ['mail'];
}
/**
* Build the mail representation of the notification.
*
* #param mixed $notifiable
* #return \Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage
*/
public function toMail($notifiable)
{
return (new MailMessage)
->line('You are receiving this email because we received a password reset request for your account.') // Here are the lines you can safely override
->action('Reset Password', url('password/reset', $this->token))
->line('If you did not request a password reset, no further action is required.');
}

Run the following command in the terminal and the two email templates will be copied to your resources/vendor/notifications folder. Then you can modify the templates.
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-notifications
You can read more about Notifications in Laravel Docs.

Answer 3

If you wish to modify the mail template then check Laravel markdown, here you can change the default mail template:
if you do want to get HTML and be able to edit it, run this:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-mail
This will happen:
Copied Directory
[/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Mail/resources/views] To
[/resources/views/vendor/mail]

Answer 4

I ended up using Mail facade in User model..
public function sendPasswordResetNotification($token){
// $this->notify(new MyCustomResetPasswordNotification($token)); <--- remove this, use Mail instead like below
$data = [
$this->email
];
Mail::send('email.reset-password', [
'fullname' => $this->fullname,
'reset_url' => route('user.password.reset', ['token' => $token, 'email' => $this->email]),
], function($message) use($data){
$message->subject('Reset Password Request');
$message->to($data[0]);
});
}

Answer 5

in .env file or config/app.php file you have to change your app name and it's working fine.

Answer 6

You can also achieve this by building your own mail template and sending the Reset link yourself using the php mail() or or Laravel Mail Facade but first you will need to create the reset token
1) use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\PasswordBroker;
$user = User::where('email', $email)->first();
if ($user) {
//so we can have dependency
$password_broker = app(PasswordBroker::class);
//create reset password token
$token = $password_broker->createToken($user);
DB::table('password_resets')->insert(['email' => $user->email, 'token' => $token, 'created_at' => new Carbon]);
//Send the reset token with your own template
//It can be like $link = url('/').'/password/reset/'.$token;
}
