Download the PHP package icodestuff/laravel-mailwind without Composer

About Laravel Mailwind

Use TailwindCSS to design your Laravel Mailables instead of relying on markdown or inline styles. NOTE after testing this package on multiple email clients, I am sad to announce it'll likely never be production ready 😢

Requires

• Laravel 9
• TailwindCSS

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

You need to publish the views with:

Getting Started

Create a template

By default, Mailwind exports an example template called: mailwind-example-template.blade.php.

If you want to create a new template, you can run:

which will generate the file my-template.blade.php within resources/views/vendor/mailwind/templates.

In order to use Mailwind, you MUST add new templates to the resources/views/vendor/mailwind/templates. Note, we don't currently support subdirectories within the templates/ folder.

Generate mail views

By default, Mailwind picks up on changes to your email template but if you want to regenerate all of your views, you can run the generate command:

which will generate compiled views within the resources/views/vendor/mailwind/generated directory. Note, all generated files are ignored by git, so it is recommended to run the php artisan mailwind:generate in your deployment scripts similar to npm run prod.

Prepare your Mailable

Generate a new Laravel mailable by running:

Then associate Mailwind with a mailable by implementing the trait InteractsWithMailWind like so:

namespace App\Mail;

use Icodestuff\Mailwind\Traits\InteractsWithMailWind;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

class YourMailable extends Mailable 
{

    use Queueable, SerializesModels, InteractsWithMailWind;
}

Then within the build method, use the template that we created within the resources/views/vendor/mailwind/templates directory like so:

/**
 * Build the message.
 *
 * @return $this
 */
public function build()
{
    return $this->view('mailwind::templates.my-template') // maps to: resources/views/vendor/mailwind/templates/my-template.blade.php
        ->subject('Mailwind Example Email');
}

Send the Mailable

Run php artisan tinker then paste

to send out your email. If you are using Mailhog, you can visit http://localhost:8025/ to see the email:
