Pass different data on a Laravel Mailable - php

Question

I need to send confirmation emails on a checkout page. But with the current way I only pass $checkout.
This is the database structure of what data I need to pass:
this is how the $checkout gets passed to the Mailable
// send confirmation email to customer
Mail::to($request->email)->send(new CheckoutConfirmation($checkout));
Mailable:
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use App\Models\Events;
class CheckoutConfirmation extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct($checkout)
{
$this->checkout = $checkout;
// get the course data from the database
$event = Events::query()
->where('id', '=', $this->checkout->event_id)
->first();
// this needs to be passed, along $checkout
// $event->title;
// $event->start;
// $event->end;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->view('emails.checkout.customer')->subject('Wir freuen uns schon auf Sie! Hier ist die Bestätigung Ihrer Buchung.')->with('checkout', $this->checkout);
}
}
the issue with how it is currently handeled is that I can only call:
$checkout->xxx
but I also need to call $event->xxx in the email blade.

Answer 1

Look at this example
/**
* The user details.
*
* #var $details
*/
public $details;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct($details)
{
$this->details = $details;
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->to(data_get($this->details,'email'), env('APP_NAME'))
->replyTo(config('mail.from.address'), ucwords(data_get($this->details, 'name')))
->subject(data_get($this->details, 'subject'))
->view('emails.contact_us');
}
You can use $details;
then use data_get you can put $this->details then get the key whatever email or anything else .
In Controller when called Class Mail in this way
Mail::send(new ContactUsMail($request->validated()));

Answer 2

Based on this StackOverflow answer, I changed my Mailable to the following:
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
use App\Models\Events;
use App\Models\Checkout;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
class CheckoutConfirmation extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct($checkout)
{
$this->checkout = Checkout::query()->where('event_id', '=', $checkout->event_id)->first();;
$this->event = Events::query()->where('id', '=', $this->checkout->event_id)->first();
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->view('emails.checkout.customer')->subject('Wir freuen uns schon auf Sie! Hier ist die Bestätigung Ihrer Buchung.')->with(['checkout'=>$this->checkout, 'event'=>$this->event]);
}
}
now I can pass arrays to the template: ->with(['checkout'=>$this->checkout, 'event'=>$this->event])
this allows to add as much data as needed.
