Mail Send using Queue in Laravel 8 Example
In this turorial we wil see how we can send email using queue in laravel 8. Sometimes sending email to multiple users may take time. so to overcome this we can push emails in queue. Queue will send email in background without delaying the response time.
Step - 1 : Create new laravel application
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel guzzle_requestStep - 2 : Database Configuration
configure dstabase settings in .env file according to your local/server setup for following .env variables. As we are going to use database queue driver for queueing the mail.
.env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=mydatabase
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=secretStep - 3 : Generate Mail class
php artisan make:mail QueueEmailAfter executing the above command, we will have QueueEmail.php file under app\Mail directory.Edit that file as follows.
QueueEmail.php
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
class QueueEmail extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
//
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* @return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->view('emails.testQueueMail');
}
}Step - 4 : Create mail template
create email file under resources/emails/testQueueMail as follows.
<html>
<head>
<title>Laravel 8 Mail Send using Queue Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<p> This is test email and sent using queue.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmodtempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,

proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p>
</body>
</html>Step - 5 : Configure email in .env file
set values of following variables of .env file according to your email id.
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAM[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tlsStep - 6 : Configure Queue
set queue driver as database
QUEUE_CONNECTION=databasegenerate migration and migrate databse
php artisan queue:table
php artisan migrateStep - 6 : Create Queue Job
generate job class using command
php artisan make:job QueueJobAfter executing above command You will have new File named QueueJob.php under app\Jobs directory.
QueueJob.php
<?php
namespace App\Jobs;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use App\Mail\QueueEmail;
use Mail;
class QueueJob implements ShouldQueue
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
protected $email_list;
/**
* Create a new job instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct($email_list)
{
$this->email_list = $email_list;
}
/**
* Execute the job.
*
* @return void
*/
public function handle()
{
$email = new QueueEmail();
Mail::to($this->email_list['email'])->send($email);
}
}Step - 7 : Create Route
Now everything else is all set. now we just need to push the task in queue and disptch the job.
web.php
Route::get('queue-email', function(){
$email_list['email'] = '[email protected]';
dispatch(new \App\Jobs\QueueJob($email_list));
dd('Send Email Successfully');
});Step - 8 : Run the application
run this in terminal
php artisan server
run this in browser
localhost:8000/queue-emailyou can watch your queue process using below laravel queue command. You can see output while job is being processed.
php artisan queue:listen
