Step 1: Make Configuration

In first step, you have to add send mail configuration with mail driver, mail host, mail port, mail username, mail password so laravel 8 will use those sender details on email. So you can simply add as like following.

Step 2: Create Mail

In this step we will create mail class TestMail for email sending. Here we will write code for which view will call and object of user. So let's run bellow command.

php artisan make:mail TestMail

app/Mail/TestMail.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Mail;
  
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
  
class TestMail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;
  
    public $details;
  
    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($details)
    {
        $this->details = $details;
    }
  
    /**
     * Build the message.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    public function build()
    {
        return $this->subject('Mail from MyWebtuts.com')
                    ->view('emails.TestMail',compact($details));
    }
}

?>

<head>
   <title>Laravel - How to send email?-MyWebtuts.com</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>{{ $details['title'] }}</h1>
    <p>{{ $details['body'] }}</p>
   
    <p>Thank you</p>
</body>
</html>

Step 4: Add Route

Now at last we will create "TestMail" for sending our test email. so let's create bellow web route for testing send email.

routes/web.php

Route::get('send-mail', function () {
   
    $details = [
        'title' => 'Mail from MyWebtuts.com',
        'body' => 'This is for testing email using smtp'
    ];
   
    \Mail::to('your_receiver_email@gmail.com')->send(new \App\Mail\TestMail($details));
   
    dd("Email is Sent.");
});
