Quickstart ---------- [](#quickstart) Installation: ``` composer require tightenco/mailthief --dev ``` Example route: ``` Route::post('register', function () { // Validation, create account, etc. Mail::send('emails.welcome', [], function ($m) { $email = request('email'); $m->to($email); $m->subject('Welcome to my app!'); $m->from('noreply@example.com'); $m->bcc('notifications@example.com'); $m->getHeaders()->addTextHeader('X-MailThief-Variables', 'mailthief'); }); // Return response }); ``` If you're copying this sample test, remember to create an email view at `resources/views/emails/welcome.blade.php`. Example test: ``` use MailThief\Testing\InteractsWithMail; class RegistrationTest extends TestCase { // Provides convenient testing traits and initializes MailThief use InteractsWithMail; public function test_new_users_are_sent_a_welcome_email() { $this->post('register', [ 'name' => 'John Doe', 'email' => 'john@example.com', 'password' => 'secret', ]); // Check that an email was sent to this email address $this->seeMessageFor('john@example.com'); // BCC addresses are included too $this->seeMessageFor('notifications@example.com'); // Make sure the email has the correct subject $this->seeMessageWithSubject('Welcome to my app!'); // Make sure the email was sent from the correct address $this->seeMessageFrom('noreply@example.com'); // Make sure a given header is set on an email $this->seeHeaders('X-MailThief-Variables'); // Make sure the header is set to a given value $this->seeHeaders('X-MailThief-Variables', 'mailthief'); // Make sure the email contains text in the body of the message // Default is to search the html rendered view $this->assertTrue($this->lastMessage()->contains('Some text in the message')); // To search in the raw text $this->assertTrue($this->lastMessage()->contains('Some text in the message', 'raw')); } } ``` MailThief supports just about everything you can do with the regular Laravel `Mailer` and `Message` classes. More detailed documentation is coming soon, but in the mean time, explore the [MailThief](https://github.com/tightenco/mailthief/blob/master/src/MailThief.php) and [Message](https://github.com/tightenco/mailthief/blob/master/src/Message.php) classes to get an idea of what's available. If you’re using the new Mailables syntax in Laravel 5.3, you can use the [native mail assertions](https://laravel.com/docs/master/mocking#mail-fake). But if you’re using the classic mail syntax in any version of Laravel, MailThief is still your best option. ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 68% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community18 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor3 3 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
