Mail Preview Laravel Driver

Published on March 14th, 2016 by Eric L. Barnes

Mohamed Said has created a new mail driver for Laravel that converts emails to files.

Installation is simple. Just require the package:

composer require themsaid/laravel-mail-preview

Add the service provider:

Themsaid\MailPreview\MailPreviewServiceProvider::class

Finally, change your mail driver to preview:

MAIL_DRIVER=preview

Now when you send emails from your Laravel app the rendered HTML and EML will be saved to the storage/email-previews folder. This way you can open it through various mail clients, your editor, or the browser for the HTML version.
