Lumen support

In order to get this working on Lumen follow the installation instructions except for the artisan vendor:publish command, since Lumen does not provide this command. Instead you have to copy the assets folder from vendor/snowfire/beautymail/public/ to the public folder in your Lumen project manually.

Make sure to also put the beautymail.php config file in the config folder (default available in src/config/settings.php)

Enable mailing in Lumen

After this you will need to install and configure illuminate/mailer with:

composer require illuminate/mail

and add this to your bootstrap/app.php:

$app->withFacades();
$app->register(App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class);

See this blog post for more details and how to use different mail libraries in lumen:

Configure Beautymail classes and configuration parameters

In order to get Beautymail working on Lumen you need to add the following to your bootstrap/app.php in order to resolve missing config files, parameters and classes (before you register BeautymailServiceProvider):

// Provide required path variables
$app->instance('path.config', env("STORAGE_DIR", app()->basePath()) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'config');
$app->instance('path.public', env("STORAGE_DIR", app()->basePath()) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'public');

// Enable config for beautymail
$app->configure('beautymail');

// Provide class alliases to resolve Request and Config
class_alias(\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request::class, "\Request");
class_alias(\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Config::class, "\Config");
