Installation

Add on your composer.json

    "require": {
        "distilleries/mailersaver": "2.*",
    }

run composer update.

Add Service provider to config/app.php:

    'providers' => [
        // ...
       Distilleries\MailerSaver\MailerSaverServiceProvider::class,
       Wpb\String_Blade_Compiler\ViewServiceProvider::class,
    ],

And Facade (also in config/app.php) replace the laravel facade Mail

    'aliases' => [
        // ...
       'Mail' => 'Distilleries\MailerSaver\Facades\Mail',
    ]

You need to provide a model of data, simply add on your register method a new instance of your model in your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php:

    public function register()
	{
		$this->app->singleton('Distilleries\MailerSaver\Contracts\MailModelContract', function ($app) {
            return new App\Email;
        });

	}

In this case I return a Email model instance. This model just implement the contract Distilleries\MailerSaver\Contracts\MailModelContract.

To Publish the model:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Distilleries\MailerSaver\MailerSaverServiceProvider" --tag="models"

To Publish the migration:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Distilleries\MailerSaver\MailerSaverServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

Config file

You can publish the config file with the command line:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Distilleries\MailerSaver\MailerSaverServiceProvider"

    return [
        'template' => 'mailersaver::default',
        'override' => [
            'enabled' => env('MAILERSAVER_ENABLED', false),
            'to' => env('MAILERSAVER_TO', 'default1@mailto.com,default2@mailto.com'),
            'cc' => env('MAILERSAVER_CC', ''),
            'bcc' => env('MAILERSAVER_BCC', ''),
        ],
    ];

View

To override the view you can give a new template on the configuration or modify the current one. Before modify it you have to publish it:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Distilleries\MailerSaver\MailerSaverServiceProvider" --tag="views"

Send an email

It's exactly the same than the laravel mailer.

Example:

Mail::send('emails.welcome', ['key' => 'value'], function ($message) {
    $message->to('foo@example.com', 'John Smith')->subject('Welcome!');
});

If the override is set to true email is send to another to email address.

Troubleshooting

If composer update --require-dev refuse to install, remove illuminate/* from vendor before the install or just remove vendor and start fresh.
