Laravel Mailtrap Integration

Here is how you can integrate Laravel and Mailtrap. Paste following in .env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME= //your username generated by Mailtrap
MAIL_PASSWORD= // your password generated by Mailtrap
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=from@example.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME=Example

create a Mailable class

php artisan make:mail MailtrapExample

Modify the mailtrap template with following code

<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
class MailtrapExample extends Mailable
{
 use Queueable, SerializesModels;
 /**
 * Create a new message instance.
 *
 * @return void
 */
 public function __construct()
 {
 //
 }
 /**
 * Build the message.
 *
 * @return $this
 */
public function build()
 {
 return $this->from('mail@example.com', 'Mailtrap')
 ->subject('Mailtrap Confirmation')
 ->markdown('mails.exmpl')
 ->with([
 'name' => 'New Mailtrap User',
 'link' => 'https://mailtrap.io/inboxes'
 ]);
 }

Create a route

<?php
use App\Mail\MailtrapExample;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
Route::get('/send-mail', function () {
 Mail::to('newuser@example.com')->send(new MailtrapExample()); 
 return 'A message has been sent to Mailtrap!';
})
