🚀 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

### Step 1: Require the package (from local path or Git)

[](#step-1-require-the-package-from-local-path-or-git)

If using local development:

```
composer require php-monsters/laravel-postal-driver
```

Or add to your composer.json:

```
"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "path",
    "url": "./packages/PhpMonsters/LaravelPostalDriver"
  }
],
"require": {
  "php-monsters/laravel-postal-driver": "*"
}
```

Then run:

```

```

⚙️ Configuration
----------------

[](#️-configuration)

### Step 2: Set up .env variables

[](#step-2-set-up-env-variables)

```
MAIL_DRIVER=postal
POSTAL_API_KEY=your_postal_api_key_here
POSTAL_API_ENDPOINT=https://postal.yourdomain.com
```

### Step 3: Configure config/mail.php

[](#step-3-configure-configmailphp)

Add to the mailers array:

```
'mailers' => [
    'postal' => [
        'transport' => 'postal',
        'key' => env('POSTAL_API_KEY'),
        'endpoint' => env('POSTAL_API_ENDPOINT'),
    ],
],
```

✉️ Usage
--------

[](#️-usage)

Use Laravel's standard Mail facade:

```
use App\Mail\TestMail;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;

Mail::to('recipient@example.com')->send(new TestMail());
```

Your Mailable class should work as usual.

📐 Under the Hood

[](#-under-the-hood)

This driver makes HTTP POST requests to:

```
POST /api/v1/send/message
```

With headers:

```
X-Server-API-Key: {your_api_key}
Content-Type: application/json
```

Payload:

```
{
  "to": "recipient@example.com",
  "from": "you@yourdomain.com",
  "subject": "Subject Line",
  "plain_body": "Text version",
  "html_body": "HTML version"
}
```
