How to Send Emails in Symfony - Tutorial by Mailtrap

hello and welcome to mail trap videos where we explore the world of emails today we'll see how to send emails in Symphony in Symphony we create messages and send them with the help of two components mailer and mime let's make sure they're installed in your Symphony project check out your composer.json file if they are not installed run the command composer require Symphony forward slash mailer let's check a few other configurations as well in the file.env you can find the example for the SMTP server configurations named Symphony slash mailer there you'll need to change the username password and maybe SMTP port and sending domain to start sending emails next let's take a look at how to write code for the mailer class object here we already prepare a mailer controller that generates the object representing the necessary data for email sending indicate various data required for sending emails to specify the sender for example use the from method and pass the sender's email address as a string alternatively you can use an address object to represent the sender's email and pass it to the Constructor you can also use this construction if you need to specify the sender's name next just like you did with the from address do indicate the two and if needed the CC and BCC parameters now you can write the text of the email using text or HTML method the text method is necessary if the email client doesn't support HTML emails and for those that do use the HTML method additionally there is an HTML template method where you can indicate that the email template should be used from the PHP twig template engine here you can also add attachments to the email from a public directory like GD alternatively you can provide a local or external resource using this method and this method is to add a CID attachment to send an email you can use the mailer service that is added to the necessary method using symphony's Auto wiring this object has a send method that takes the email object you performed as an argument and that's how you can send an email using mailer alright now let's take a look at how we can send emails in Symphony via an SMTP server which in our example will be that of mailtrap first you'll need to register an account and verify the domain from which you will send emails afterwards on the sending domains page go to the API and SMTP Tab and select SMTP settings there you'll find the settings you need to use for sending emails next make sure that the mailer and mine components are installed in your Symphony project in our case we use the latest version of symphony version 6.2 you can find the link to it in the description of this video after installing the required components go to the configuration file there you need to add the configuration for the mailer in the mailer DSN section here you need to add the configuration provided by the mail trap like the domain port username and password once you have added the configuration you can test the email sending functionality using the console command mailer test in this function you must pass the recipients and senders email addresses using the from parameter it's important to make sure that the domain of the sender's email address matches the domain you registered with mailtrap let's run the command and see if we got the email and there it is next let's take a look at how we can do the same with the help of an API again we'll be using mailtrap so after registering an account and verifying the domain on the sending domains page you'll find your API key under the password field to send emails via API mailtrap offers a PHP client the relevant documentation can be found on GitHub and the link to it is in the description of this video the client offers easy integration with Frameworks such as laravel and Symphony so go ahead and install the library for Symphony in our example we already installed it and have the HTTP client to send the email the next step is to configure the transport type to be used for sending emails this is done in the config Services dot yaml file in our project the required settings are already configured in the configuration file next you'll need to copy paste your credentials to the dot EnV file so copy this configuration and paste it into the symphony mailer block now copy your mailtrap's account API key and paste it in the same block to test if the email is sent you can use this console command available in Symphony 6.2 the command takes an email address as an argument and a from parameter that specifies the email address from which the email is sent it is important that the domain used in the from email address matches the domain you registered after running the command check your email to make sure the email was sent successfully and here is our test email just like that you can start sending emails with Symphony we at mailtrap hope you found this tutorial helpful thank you for watching this video brought to you
