A full stack package to add mailing functionality to Laravel applications. This package allows you to associate recipients (contacts) to your mailable files.

Installation

1. Require using composer: composer require dainsys/mailing.
2. You can install all package assets by running php artisan mailing:install command.
   1. Another option is installing each asset individually:
      1. Publish the assets: @php artisan vendor:publish --force --tag=mailing:assets.
         1. optionally, you add the following line to your composer file, under the scripts and post-update-cmd key, to publish the assets every time you update your composer dependencies: @php artisan vendor:publish --tag=mailing:assets --force --ansi.
   2. If you may want to customize the migrations before next step, first publish them: @php artisan vendor:publish --force --tag=mailing:migrations.
   3. Run the migrations: php artisan migrate.
3. Only super admin users are allowed to interact with the app. You can register them using any of the following options:
   1. Using the register method of your AuthServiceProvider: \Dainsys\Mailing\Mailing::registerSuperUsers(["super@user1.com", "super@user2.com"]);.
   2. In your .env file, MAILING_SUPER_USERS='super@user1.com,super@user2.com'

Configure your application

1. Visit package main route: /dainsys/mailing/about.
2. Optionally, you may want to publish and tweek the config file: @php artisan vendor:publish --force --tag=mailing:config.
3. This package has its own views, designed with livewire and AdminLte. However, if you may want to change them then you can publish them with @php artisan vendor:publish --force --tag=mailing:views.
4. Package views extend it's own layout app. However, you can change this by adding the key MAILING_LAYOUT_VIEW to your .env file. Or, change it directly in the mailing config file, under the layout key.

Usage

1. The package is configured to auto discover your mailables within then app\Mail directory. However, if your mailables reside outside this folder or if you want to register another directory, add the line \Dainsys\Mailing\Mailing::bind(app_path('Mail')); to your AppServiceProvider. The package will try to load all your mailables for all directories added.
2. Visit route /mailing/admin/recipients to manage your recipients contacts.
3. Visit route /mailing/admin/mailables to manage your mailables and assign them to the recipients.
4. In your mailables, you can access the array of recipients associated to that class with the code snippet \Dainsys\Mailing\Mailing::recipients($this);. For example, ->to(\Dainsys\Mailing\Mailing::recipients($this))
