Laravel Elastic Email is a wrapper for Elastic Email. You can send e-mails in your project just like you usually do with Laravel's native mailers, the package makes sure the e-mails are send via the Elastic Email API using your Elastic Email account.

Requires

V1 - Laravel version 8.12 or higher. V2 - Laravel version 9.0 or higher.

Installation

• Step 1: Install package via composer.

composer require flexflux/laravel-elastic-email

• Step 2: Add your account and API keys to your .env file.

ELASTIC_KEY=<Your API key>

• Step 3: Update MAIL_MAILER with 'elastic_email' in your .env file.

MAIL_MAILER=elastic_email

'mailers' => [
    ...
    'elastic_email' => [
        'transport' => 'elastic_email',
        'key' => env('ELASTIC_KEY')
    ],  
    ...
],

• Step 5: In your config/app.php file go to your providers array and add the following package provider:

'providers' => [
    /*
     * Laravel Framework Service Providers...
     */
    ...
      \FlexFlux\LaravelElasticEmail\LaravelElasticEmailServiceProvider::class,
