nixphp/mail
===========

[](#nixphpmail)

> **A lightweight, extensible mailer system for NixPHP – with full transport abstraction and attachment support.**

This plugin provides a clean interface for sending emails in your NixPHP application. It includes a default `MailTransport` that uses PHP’s built-in `mail()` function, but can easily be swapped for SMTP, API-based services, or other custom transports.

> 🧩 Part of the official NixPHP plugin collection. Install it if you need flexible, framework-integrated email handling.

---

📦 Features
----------

[](#-features)

- ✅ Compose and send emails with fluent API
- ✅ Supports `To`, `Cc`, `Bcc`, `Reply-To`, and `Attachments`
- ✅ Sends HTML or plain text
- ✅ Fully transport-driven, extend, or swap backend logic
- ✅ Ships with default `MailTransport` using native PHP `mail()`

---

📥 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer require nixphp/mail
```

---

🚀 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

### 📤 Basic mail sending

[](#-basic-mail-sending)

```
$mail = mail()
    ->setFrom('hello@example.com')
    ->addTo('john@example.com')
    ->setSubject('Hello from NixPHP')
    ->setContent('Welcome!', true);

mailer()->send($mail);
```

---

### 📎 Add attachments

[](#-add-attachments)

```
$mail = mail()
    ->setFrom('info@example.com')
    ->addTo('client@example.com')
    ->setSubject('Monthly Report')
    ->addAttachment('report.pdf', '/path/to/report.pdf')

mailer()->send($mail);
```

You can also attach images inline and reference them via `cid:`:

```
->addAttachment('logo.png', '/path/to/logo.png', true)
->setContent('')
```

---

### 🔄 Use a custom transport

[](#-use-a-custom-transport)

To swap out the default `MailTransport`, inject your own:

```
use NixPHP\Mail\Mailer;
use App\Mail\MyCustomTransport;

$mailer = new Mailer(new MyCustomTransport());
$mail   = mail()->addTo('john@example.com');
$mailer->send($mail);
```

Your transport must implement:

```
NixPHP\Mail\Core\TransportInterface
```

---

✅ Requirements
--------------

[](#-requirements)

- `nixphp/framework` >= 0.1.0
- PHP >= 8.3

---

📄 License
---------
