This tutorial will give you a simple and easy example of how to create a contact form with mail in the laravel 9 app. you want to create a contact us form page in laravel 9 with sending mail with a bootstrap example.

In this tutorial, you will see how to create and store a contact form in laravel 9. I create a simple and easy example of creating a contact form with sending mail in laravel 9.

Here I will give you a full example of how to create a contact form in laravel 9. So let's see the bellow example and follow step by step.

Let us begin the tutorial by installing a new laravel application. if you have already created the project, then skip following step.

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

After successfully install laravel 9 Application, Go to your project .env file and set up database credential and move next step :

DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
DB_PORT=3306 
DB_DATABASE=here your database name 
DB_USERNAME=here database username
DB_PASSWORD=here database password 

we are going to create a file upload application for students. so we have to create migration for "contacts" table and create model using Laravel 9 php artisan command, so first fire bellow command:

php artisan make:migration Contacts

After this command you will find one file in the following path "database/migrations" and you have to put the bellow code in your migration file for create student's table.

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateContactsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('contacts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email');
            $table->string('phone');
            $table->string('subject');
            $table->text('message');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('contacts');
    }
}

Now you have to run this migration by following command:

php artisan migrate

php artisan make:model Contact

Now you can add table field in Contact model :

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Contact extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
    */
    public $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'phone', 'subject', 'message'
    ];
}

Here, we need to add a route for the ajax form submit. so open your "routes/web.php" file and add the following route.

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\ContactController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('/contact-form', [App\Http\Controllers\ContactController::class, 'contactForm'])->name('contact-form');
Route::post('/contact-form', [App\Http\Controllers\ContactController::class, 'storeContactForm'])->name('contact-form.store');

In this step, now we should create a new controller as ContactController. So run the below command and create a new controller. bellow controller for create ContactController.

php artisan make:controller ContactController

After the bellow command, you will find a new file in this path "app/Http/Controllers/ContactController.php".

In this controller will create two methods as bellow:

1)contactForm()

2)storeContactForm()

So, let's copy bellow code and put it on the ContactController.php file.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Contact;
use Mail;

class ContactController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function contactForm()
    {
        return view('contactForm');
    }

    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function storeContactForm(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'phone' => 'required|digits:10|numeric',
            'subject' => 'required',
            'message' => 'required',
        ]);

        $input = $request->all();

        Contact::create($input);

        //  Send mail to admin
        \Mail::send('contactMail', array(
            'name' => $input['name'],
            'email' => $input['email'],
            'phone' => $input['phone'],
            'subject' => $input['subject'],
            'message' => $input['message'],
        ), function($message) use ($request){
            $message->from($request->email);
            $message->to('admin@admin.com', 'Admin')->subject($request->get('subject'));
        });

        return redirect()->back()->with(['success' => 'Contact Form Submit Successfully']);
    }
}

In the last step. In this step we have to create two blade file contactForm and second is mail file. So mainly we have to create contactForm file and contactMail file. So finally you have to create two following bellow blade file:

1) contactForm.blade.php

2) contactMail.blade.php

So let's just create following file and put bellow code.
