README

Beautymail makes it super easy to send beatiful responsive HTML emails. It's made for things like:

• Welcome emails
• Password reminders
• Invoices
• Data exports

If you're on Laravel 4, use the 1.x branch.

Templates

There are tons of great looking HTML email templates out there. Campaign Monitor and Mailchimp has released hundreds for free. It is pretty simple to adapt a template to Beautymail. If you do, please send a PR.

Publish assets to your public folder

php artisan vendor:publish

Send your first Beauty mail

Add this to your routes.php

Route::get('/test', function()
{
	$beautymail = app()->make(Snowfire\Beautymail\Beautymail::class);
    $beautymail->send('emails.welcome', [], function($message)
    {
        $message
			->from('bar@example.com')
			->to('foo@example.com', 'John Smith')
