### Creating a Mailer Instance

[](#creating-a-mailer-instance)

To send emails using the Effectra\\Mail package, you need to create a mailer instance. The `MailerFactory` class provides a convenient way to create the mailer instance:

```
use Effectra\Mail\Mailer;

// Create a mailer instance
$mailer = new Mailer(
    'smtp',         // Mail driver (e.g., 'smtp', 'sendmail')
    'mail.example.com',  // Mail server host
    587,            // Mail server port
    'username',     // Username for authentication
    'password',     // Password for authentication
    'info@example.com'  // "From" email address
);
```

### Sending an Email

[](#sending-an-email)

Once you have a mailer instance, you can use it to send emails. The `Mailer` class provides methods for setting the email recipients, subject, content, and more. Here's an example of sending an email:

```
$mail = new Mail();
// Set email recipients
$mail->to('recipient1@example.com');
$mail->cc('recipient2@example.com');
$mail->bcc('recipient3@example.com');

// Set email subject and content
$mail->subject('Hello, world!');
$mail->text('This is the plain text content of the email.');
$mail->html('This is the HTML content of the email.');

// Send the email
try {
    $mailer->send($mail);
    echo 'Email sent successfully!';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'An error occurred while sending the email: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
```

Feel free to explore the `Mailer` class and its methods to customize the email sending process according to your needs.
