Africoders Laravel Mailer
=========================

[](#africoders-laravel-mailer)

A custom Laravel mail transport driver that sends emails through a centralized HTTP API instead of SMTP. Useful for routing all email traffic through services like Mailgun, Mailpit, or internal email proxy APIs.

📡 Default endpoint: `https://smtp.africoders.com/`

---

🚀 Features
----------

[](#-features)

- Custom mail transport using HTTP API
- Compatible with Laravel 8, 10, and 11
- Configurable API key and endpoint
- Fully pluggable and override-ready
- Designed for mail proxies and external SMTP wrappers

---

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer require africoders/laravel-mailer
```

---

⚙️ Configuration
----------------

[](#️-configuration)

### 1. Publish the package config:

[](#1-publish-the-package-config)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=africoders-mailer-config
```

This publishes `config/africoders-mailer.php`:

```
return [
    'endpoint' => env('MAIL_CUSTOM_API_ENDPOINT', 'https://smtp.africoders.com/'),
    'api_key'  => env('MAIL_CUSTOM_API_KEY', 'changeme'),
];
```

### 2. Update your `.env`:

[](#2-update-your-env)

```
MAIL_MAILER=customapi
MAIL_CUSTOM_API_ENDPOINT=https://smtp.africoders.com/
MAIL_CUSTOM_API_KEY=12344343
```

---

📤 Sending Emails
----------------

[](#-sending-emails)

Once configured, all emails sent via Laravel's `Mail::to()->send()` will be routed through your custom API transport.

Example JSON payload sent to the endpoint:

```
{
  "apiKey": "12344343",
  "from_name": "Africoders",
  "to": "user@example.com",
  "subject": "Hello",
  "html": "This is a test email"
}
```

---

🛠 API Expectations
------------------

[](#-api-expectations)

Your API should accept a `POST` request with:

- `apiKey` – required, must match configured key
- `to` – recipient email
- `subject` – subject of the email
- `html` – email body (HTML)
- `from_address` – optional (defaults to config)
- `from_name` – optional (defaults to config)

---

🔐 Security
----------

[](#-security)

Make sure your API endpoint is protected using an `apiKey` or bearer token.
