Installation

composer require andrewdyer/slim3-mailer

Usage

Attach a new instance of Anddye\Mailer\Mailer to your applications container so it can be accessed anywhere you need. Mailer takes two arguements; an instance of Slim\Views\Twig and an optional array of SMTP settings.

$app = new Slim\App;
    
$container = $app->getContainer();
       
$container['mailer'] = function($container) {
    $twig = $container['view'];
    $mailer = new Anddye\Mailer\Mailer($twig, [
        'host'      => '',  // SMTP Host
        'port'      => '',  // SMTP Port
        'username'  => '',  // SMTP Username
        'password'  => '',  // SMTP Password
        'protocol'  => ''   // SSL or TLS
    ]);
        
    // Set the details of the default sender
    $mailer->setDefaultFrom('[email protected]', 'Webmaster');
    
    return $mailer;
};
    
$app->run();

If your application doesn't use Twig views already, you will need to also attach this to your container.

$container['view'] = function ($container) {
    $view = new Slim\Views\Twig(__DIR__ . '/../resources/views');
    $basePath = rtrim(str_ireplace('index.php', '', $container['request']->getUri()->getBasePath()), '/');
    $view->addExtension(new Slim\Views\TwigExtension($container['router'], $basePath));
    
    return $view;
};

Supported Options

Option Type Description
host string The host to connect to.
port integer The port to connect to.
username string The username to authenticate with.
password string The password to authenticate with.
protocol string The encryption method, either SSL or TLS.

Sending the Email (Basic Example)

$app->get('/', function ($request, $response) use($container) {
    $user = new stdClass;
    $user->name = 'John Doe';
    $user->email = '[email protected]';
    
    $container['mailer']->sendMessage('emails/welcome.html.twig', ['user' => $user], function($message) use($user) {
        $message->setTo($user->email, $user->name);
        $message->setSubject('Welcome to the Team!');
    });
    
    $response->getBody()->write('Mail sent!');
    
    return $response;
});

welcome.html.twig

<h1>Hello {{ user.name }}</h1>
    
<p>Welcome to the Team!</p>
    
<p>Love, Admin</p>

Sending with a Mailable

Using mailable classes are a lot more elegant than the basic usage example above. Building up the mail in a mailable class cleans up controllers and routes, making things look a more tidy and less cluttered as well as making things so much more manageable.

Mailable classes are required to extend the base Anddye\Mailer\Mailable class;

use Anddye\Mailer\Mailable;

class WelcomeMailable extends Mailable
{
    
    protected $user;
    
    public function __construct($user)
    {
        $this->user = $user;
    }
    
    public function build()
    {
        $this->setSubject('Welcome to the Team!');
        $this->setView('emails/welcome.html.twig', [
            'user' => $this->user
        ]);
        
        return $this;
    }
    
}

Now in your controller or route, you set the recipients address and name, passing just a single argument into the sendMessage method - a new instance of the mailable class;

$app->get('/', function ($request, $response) use($container) {
    $user = new stdClass;
    $user->name = 'John Doe';
    $user->email = '[email protected]';
    
    $container['mailer']->setTo($user->email, $user->name)->sendMessage(new WelcomeMailable($user));
     
    $response->getBody()->write('Mail sent!');
    
    return $response;
});
