Laravel Mail Markdown Components

A quick visual reference on the latest Laravel mail markdown components.

Note: I’m using Laravel 7 at the time of writing this article.

Source code:

Quick Start

Create a Laravel Mail class:

php artisan make:mail TestMail --markdown

In the build method, reference your mail.blade.php file.

public function build()
{
  return $this->markdown('mail.blade.file.in.views.folder');
}

To customise the markdown templates, run:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-mail

You will find the source files in `resources/views/vendor/mail` and make any changes as you wish 😉.

How to test my Laravel Email template without actually sending it out?

Create a new Route and see it in your browser!

Route::get('/view-mail', function(){
  $mail = new App\Mail\TestMail();
  return $mail->render();
});
