Скачать или смотреть #94 Make E-com in Laravel 5.6 / 5.7 | Send Register Email Offline | Use Gmail SMTP | Google Settings

In Part-94, we will start working on emails. We need to send register, order and other emails to users. Like every time when users registers, we will send welcome email to them sending their username and password in email as well.

First of all, we need to work on some email settings to send emails from offline as well. We will use Gmail SMTP server to send emails from offline apache server.

Please follow below steps to configure gmail email settings :-

1) First login to your Google account and under Security, enable "2 step verification" as shown in video.

2) Now generate "App Password" from there that you can use in .env file.
Select App and Device while generating "App Password". Like I have selected "Mail" and "Windows Computer" as I am working on Windows. You can select "Mac" if you are working on "Mac".

3) Open .env file and update Mail credentials as shown in video.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=apppassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

4) Update mail.php file located in config folder with from email address and from name as shown in video.

5) Run "php artisan config:cache" command after making changes in your .env file.

6) Restart Laravel Server by closing and running "php artisan serve" command again

7) Update "register" function at UsersController to add code to send register email.

8) Update UsersController files with below header statement :-

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;

9) Create register.blade.php file to add Html part of register email under \resources\views\emails\ folder. Create emails folder under resources\views\ folder if it does not exists. And add some HTML code as shown in video.

Now register new account with Yopmail email address that you can use for testing and check register email must comes in your Yopmail email account.

In next video, we will start working on custom email confirmation process at the time of registration.

Thanks for watching :)
