In this post i would like to show you how to setting of mailgun in our laravel 9 application. In this example you can learn to send simple mail using mailgun api. If you are use mailgun for sending email then you can save loading time and you can get mail fast.

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

First we will add configration on mail. i added my gmail account configration. so first open .env file and bellow code:

MAIL_DRIVER=mailgun
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailgun.org
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=yourUserName
MAIL_PASSWORD=yourPassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Now, I need to add secret and domain of mailgun api configration. So first create new account in mailgun.com SignUp if you don't have before. After registeration active your mailgun account and click on Domails and click on Add New Domail button. then you can see bellow screen.

Next add name you can see bellow screen and copy domain name and API Key from like bellow image.

Now you have to open services.php and add mailgun configration this way :

'mailgun' => array(
    'domain' => 'your_domain',
    'secret' => 'your_secret',
),

Here we are ready to send mail for test so first create test route for email sending.

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\MailGunController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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('/send-mail-using-mailgun', [MailGunController::class, 'index'])->name('send.mail.using.mailgun.index');

php artisan make:controller MailGunController

Next,We are add mail function in MailGunController.php file so add this way :

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

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

class MailGunController extends Controller
{   
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $user = User::find(1)->toArray();

        Mail::send('mailView', $user, function($message) use ($user) {
            $message->to($user['email']);
            $message->subject('Testing Mailgun');
        });

        dd('Mail Send Successfully');
    }
}

At last create email template file for send mail so let's create mailEvent.blade.php file in emials folder.
