Laravel send mail on each Orderplaced - php

Question

I have below Order Controller and have created Mailable as well. I am stuck at point what argument should be passed so I can pass data on shipped.blade file. I have gone through few examples but couldn't get it working.
Also, where should I use foreach function to attach all items for which order is placed.
class Order extends Controller
{
public function addOrder(Request $req)
{
// User detail
$results = DB::table('users')->get()->where('id' , $req->input('user_id'));
foreach($results as $userrow) {
$address_id = $userrow->address;
}
// Address
$address_query = DB::table('shippings')->get()->where('id' , $address_id);
foreach($address_query as $ad_row) {
$address = $ad_row->address;
$name = $ad_row->name;
}
// Generate Orderid
$order_id = mt_rand();
// Bag total
$amount = DB::table('bag')->where('user_id' , $req->input('user_id'))->where('order_id', 0)->sum('bag.sale_price');
// add order
// get user email
$emailId = DB::table('users')->where('id' , $req->input('user_id'))->value('email');
$addAddress = DB::table('orders')->insert([
'email' => $emailId,
'user_id' => $req->input('user_id'),
'name' => $req->input('name'),
'order_id' => $order_id,
'payment_method'=> $req->input('payment_method'),
'mobile_number'=> $req->input('mobile_number'),
'pincode'=> $req->input('pincode'),
'city'=> $req->input('city'),
'state'=> $req->input('state'),
'house_number'=> $req->input('house_number'),
'address_area'=> $req->input('address_area'),
'landmark'=> $req->input('landmark'),
'amount'=> $amount
]);
if ($addAddress ==1) {
$response = array('message'=>"Order Added" , 'result'=>1);
//update bag items
$affected = DB::table('bag')->where('user_id', $req->input('user_id'))->where('order_id', 0)->update(['order_id' => $order_id]);
Mail::to($emailId)->send(new OrderShipped());
} else {
$response = array('message'=>"Problem in adding order" , 'result'=>0);
}
return $response;
}
}
OrderShipped Mailable
public function __construct()
{
//
}
/**
* Build the message.
*
* #return $this
*/
public function build()
{
return $this->from('orders#factory2homes.com', 'Factory2Homes')
->subject('New Order Received')
->bcc('mail#androidapp.factory2homes.com')
->markdown('emails.orders.shipped');
}

You create public properties on your mailable and then inject them via the constructor
public $prop1;
public $prop2;
...
public function __construct($arg1, $arg2, ...)
{
$this->prop1 = $arg1;
$this->prop2 = $arg2;
...
}
public function build()
{
return $this->from('orders#factory2homes.com', 'Factory2Homes')
->subject('New Order Received')
->bcc('mail#androidapp.factory2homes.com')
->markdown('emails.orders.shipped', ['arg1' => $this->prop1, 'arg2' => $this->prop2, ...]);
}
Mail::to($emailId)->send(new OrderShipped($arg1, $arg2, ...));
