Gmail API for Laravel 8

You need to create an application in the Google Console. Guidance here.

if you need Laravel 5 compatibility please use version 2.0.x. if you need Laravel 6 compatibility please use version 3.0.x. if you need Laravel 7 compatibility please use version 4.0.x.

Requirements

• >= PHP 7.3 <= PHP 8.0
• Laravel 8

Installation

Add dacastro4/laravel-gmail to composer.json.

"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^5.0"

Run composer update to pull down the latest version.

Or run

composer require dacastro4/laravel-gmail

Now open up config/app.php and add the service provider to your providers array.

Now add the alias.

For laravel >=5.5 that's all. This package supports Laravel new Package Discovery.

Migration from 4.0 to 5.0

Requires Laravel 8 and you have to change the dependency to "laravel/laravel": "^8.0" Please, follow Upgrading To 8.0 From 6.x Guide

Migration from 3.0 to 4.0

Requires Laravel 7 and you have to change the dependency to "laravel/laravel": "^7.0" Please, follow Upgrading To 7.0 From 6.x Guide

Migration from 2.0 to 3.0

Requires Laravel 6 and you only have to change the dependency to "laravel/laravel": "^6.0"

Migration from 1.0 to 2.0

The only changed made was the multi credentials feature.

• Change your composer.json from "dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^1.0" to "dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^2.0"

I had to change version because of a typo and that might break apps calling those attributes.

All variable with the word "threat" was change to "thread" (yeah, I know.. sorry) Ex:

Mail Class $threatId => $threadId

Replyable Class $mail->setReplyThreat() => $mail->setReplyThread()

and so on.

Migration from 0.6 to 1.0

The only changed made was the multi credentials feature.

• Change your composer.json from "dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^0.6" to "dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^1.0"

If you don't want the multi user credentials, you don't have to do anything else, if you do, you're going to have to login again to create a new credentials file per user.

Configuration

You only have to set the following variables on your .env file and you'll be on your way:

To modify the scopes and the credentials file name, just run:

Run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Swandoola\LaravelGmail\LaravelGmailServiceProvider" and modify the config file config/gmail.php.

Allow multi user credentials

To allow multi user credentials change allow_multiple_credentials to true in your config file or set the .env variable GOOGLE_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_CREDENTIALS to true if you're not using the config file.

Allow encryption for json files

To allow encryption for json files change allow_json_encrypt to true in your config file or set the .env variable GOOGLE_ALLOW_JSON_ENCRYPT to true if you're not using the config file.

Available Scopes

• all (this one doesn't exists on Gmail Scopes, I added it.)
• compose
• insert
• labels
• metadata
• modify
• readonly
• send
• settings_basic
• settings_sharing

More about Gmail API scopes

Note: To change the scopes, users have to logout and login again.

Additional Scopes

If for some reason you need to add additional scopes.

Add additional scopes in URL Style in config/gmail.php

Example

Welcome Blade:

Routes:

Then if in your controller or wherever you want to do your logic, you do something like:

Note that if you don't preload the messages you have to do something like: $body = $message->load()->getSubject(); and after that you don't have to call it again.
