Install

Open file bootstrap/providers.php and connect the provider from the package (optional, using laravel discovered package system by default)

\Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\Providers\EmailTemplateServiceProvider::class,

2. Run commands

For creating config file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\Providers\EmailTemplateServiceProvider" --tag=config

For creating lexicon file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\Providers\EmailTemplateServiceProvider" --tag=lang

For creating migration file

php artisan email:template:publish --tag=migration

For generate table

php artisan migrate

Next steps install

1. Create seeder file if not exists for email templates. In the created seed file, you need to add a static method (for example, public static function data()). The method must return an array of standard to fill the database

2. Open config file config/email_template.php and add this class and method in exists parameters

'data' => [
    'class' => \Database\Seeders\EmailTemplateTableSeeder::class,
    'method' => 'data',
],

3 Example content seeder file database/seeders/EmailTemplateTableSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

class EmailTemplateTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public static function data(): array
    {
        return [
            [
                'id' => 1,
                'type' => 'user_registration',
                'title' => 'title 1',
                'subject' => 'subject 1',
                'body' => 'body 1',
                'is_active' => true,
                'created_at' => '2021-01-05 15:00:00',
                'updated_at' => '2021-01-05 15:00:00',
            ],
            [
                'id' => 2,
                'type' => 'user_activate',
                'title' => 'title 2',
                'subject' => 'subject 2',
                'body' => 'body 2',
                'is_active' => true,
                'created_at' => '2021-01-05 15:00:00',
                'updated_at' => '2021-01-05 15:00:00',
            ],
        ];
    }
}

Command for sync email templates

php artisan email:template:sync

Usage

Eloquent model for use.

\Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\Models\EmailTemplate

You can use helper \Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\Helpers\EmailTemplateHelper or service \Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\Services\EmailTemplateService.

further we will use the variable $emailTemplate as a model of Email Template

Email template parse short codes

$emailTemplate = \Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\Models\EmailTemplate::query()->where('type', '=', 'user_registration')->first();
$variables = ['var1' => 'content 1']; // variable list
$wrapper = true; // (optional, default: true) use wrapper for email template
$withCopy = true; // (optional, default: true) use copy email template for render
$emailTemplate = EmailTemplateHelper::render($emailTemplate, $variables, $wrapper, $withCopy);
return $emailTemplate;

Reset config to default

EmailTemplateHelper::reset();

Override email template wrapper

Blade template are used

EmailTemplateHelper::setWrapper('email-template.wrapper');

The procedure of adding new common variable

Variables will be valid in all email templates

1. Open file config/email_template.php and add custom variable in section variables - global, example:

'variables' => [
    'global' => [
        'site_name' => \App\CustomEmailTemplateVariableSiteName::class,
    ],
    ...

1. Create class \App\CustomEmailTemplateVariableSiteName
2. The class must be an implementation of the interface Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\EmailTemplateVariableInterface
3. The class must contain a public method content(EmailTemplate $emailTemplate): ?string

Full example file

<?php

namespace App;

use Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\EmailTemplateVariableInterface;
use Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\Models\EmailTemplate;

class CustomEmailTemplateVariableSiteName implements EmailTemplateVariableInterface
{
    public function content(EmailTemplate $emailTemplate): ?string
    {
        return 'site name';
    }
}

Procedure for adding template variable descriptions (optional)

These lists do not affect the variables used in templates, this may only be required to display a list of available variables for a specific email template type.

1. Open file config/email_template.php and add custom variable in section variables - type, example:

'type' => [
     'user_registration' => [
         'email',
         'password',
     ],
 ]

1. Add text for variables in to lexicon file lang/LANG_KEY/email_template.php, section variables - common or variables - type
2. Get a list of variables for a specific email template

$emailTemplate = \Crow\LaravelEmailTemplate\Models\EmailTemplate::query()->where('type', '=', 'user_registration')->first();
$emailTemplate->variables; // Collection
$emailTemplate->variables[0]->key;
$emailTemplate->variables[0]->description;
