Step 1: Download Laravel


Let us begin the tutorial by installing a new laravel application. if you have already created the project, then skip following step.

Step 2: Install Package & Config

At first we need to install barryvdh/laravel-dompdf package. Run this composer command to install the package: 

composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf

Now open .env file and set your SMTP credentials:

.env 

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=null
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"

Step 3: Add Controller

Create a test controller and make a function to send email:

app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php 

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use PDF;
use Mail;
class TestController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function sendMailWithPDF()
    {
        $data["email"] = "[email protected]";
        $data["title"] = "Welcome to NiceSnippets.com";
        $data["body"] = "This is the email body.";
        $pdf = PDF::loadView('mail', $data);
        Mail::send('mail', $data, function ($message) use ($data, $pdf) {
            $message->to($data["email"], $data["email"])
                ->subject($data["title"])
                ->attachData($pdf->output(), "test.pdf");
        });
        dd('Email has been sent successfully');
    }
}

Now we’ll create the PDF view which will be attached to the email. Go to resources>views folder and create mail.blade.php file. Then paste this simple PDF view:

resources/views/mail.blade.php 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel 9 Generate PDF And Attach To Email Example - NiceSnippets.com</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h3>{{ $title }}</h3>
    <p>{{ $body }}</p>
    <p>
        Regards,<br/>
        NiceSnippets.com
    </p>
</body>
</html>

Step 5: Add Route

routes/web.php 

<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\TestController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
