MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=your_username

use App\Http\Controllers\SendMailController;

Route::get('send/mail', [SendMailController::class, 'send_mail'])->name('send_mail');

 

Step 3 : Create Queue Table

Now, we will create a 'jobs' table in the database. So, copy the below command and run it in your terminal.

php artisan queue:table

php artisan migrate​

 

Step 4 : Create Controller 

In this step, we will create SendMailController and add the below code.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class SendMailController extends Controller
{
    public function send_mail(Request $request)
    {
    	$details = [
    		'subject' => 'Test Notification'
    	];
    	
        $job = (new \App\Jobs\SendQueueEmail($details))
            	->delay(now()->addSeconds(2)); 

        dispatch($job);
        echo "Mail send successfully !!";
    }
}

 

 

Step 5 : Create Job

Now, we need to create the SendQueueEmail.php file in the app\Jobs folder using the below command in your terminal and copy the below code. 

php artisan make:job SendQueueEmail

 

<?php

namespace App\Jobs;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use App\User;
use Mail;

class SendQueueEmail implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
    protected $details;
    public $timeout = 7200; // 2 hours

    /**
     * Create a new job instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($details)
    {
        $this->details = $details;
    }

    /**
     * Execute the job.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $data = User::all();
        $input['subject'] = $this->details['subject'];

        foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
            $input['email'] = $value->email;
            $input['name'] = $value->name;
            \Mail::send('mail.Test_mail', [], function($message) use($input){
                $message->to($input['email'], $input['name'])
                    ->subject($input['subject']);
            });
        }
    }
}

 

 

Step  6 : Create Mail Blade
