Mailtrapper
===========

[](#mailtrapper)

This is a package for Laravel and Vue that captures emails generated by the framework and renders them into an onscreen email viewer.

Think Mailtrap, but inline within the application itself, with no need to login to a separate service.

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

Overrides the default mail transport in Laravel to save rendered emails to a database table.

The Recipient, Subject and HTML body are all captured.

The Vue component adds a mail icon at the top right, polls every few seconds for recent messages, and flashes when a new message is available.

Clicking on the icon opens an onscreen inbox. Because all emails are captured, this includes all emails generated to any recipient.

Requirements for use
--------------------

[](#requirements-for-use)

- Laravel 9+
- Vue 3+
- axios
- A logged in user accessible at `auth()->user()` \[DEFAULT\]

Authentication
--------------

[](#authentication)

By default the library requires an authenticated user and uses the `web` middleware group. You can customise this by publishing the config and modifying the `middleware` to suit your needs.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require actinity/mailtrapper`

Import the component from vendor/actinity/mailtrapper/src/components/Mailtrapper.vue

Add the `` tag to a view or your main SPA component.

Run `php artisan migrate` to set up the table

Set `MAIL_MAILER=trapper` in your `.env`

Emptying the database
---------------------

[](#emptying-the-database)

If you define a gate called `mailtrapper:empty`, the interface will include an 'Empty' button for matching users that allows them to empty the shared mailbox.
