README
This package introduces a new preview mail driver for Laravel that when selected will render the content of the
sent email and save it as both .html and .eml files.
Installation
Begin by installing the package through Composer. Run the following command in your terminal:
composer require stevelacey/laravel-mail-preview
Then publish the config file:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Steve\LaravelMailPreview\MailPreviewServiceProvider"
Finally, change MAIL_DRIVER to preview in your .env file:
MAIL_DRIVER=preview
How it works
Everytime an email is sent, an .html and .eml file will be generated in storage/email-previews with a name that includes the first recipient and the subject:
1457904864_jack_at_gmail_com_invoice_000234.html
1457904864_jack_at_gmail_com_invoice_000234.eml
You can open the .html file in a web browser, or open the .eml file in your default email client to have a realistic look
at the final output.
Preview in a web browser
When you open the .html file in a web browser you'll be able to see how your email will look, however there might be
some differences that varies from one email client to another.
