Laravel Mailtrap Integration

Here is how you can integrate Laravel and Mailtrap. Paste following in .env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME= //your username generated by Mailtrap
MAIL_PASSWORD= // your password generated by Mailtrap
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=from@example.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME=Example

create a Mailable class

php artisan make:mail MailtrapExample

Modify the mailtrap template with following code

<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
class MailtrapExample extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;
    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }
    /**
     * Build the message.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
public function build()
    {
        return $this->from('mail@example.com', 'Mailtrap')
            ->subject('Mailtrap Confirmation')
            ->markdown('mails.exmpl')
            ->with([
                'name' => 'New Mailtrap User',
                'link' => 'https://mailtrap.io/inboxes'
            ]);
    }

Create a route

<?php
use App\Mail\MailtrapExample;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
Route::get('/send-mail', function () {
    Mail::to('newuser@example.com')->send(new MailtrapExample()); 
    return 'A message has been sent to Mailtrap!';
})
