Usage

To create a custom email template, you can extend the BaseMailer class and implement the required methods for subject, HTML content, alternative text body, and attachments.

// app/Utils/OrderTemplate.php
<?php
namespace App\Utils;

use \Luminova\Base\BaseMailer;

class OrderTemplate extends BaseMailer
{
    public function getSubject(): ?string 
    {
        return 'Subject';
    }

    public function getHtml(): ?string 
    {
        return '<p>Message html</p>';
    }

    public function getText(): ?string
    {
        return 'Message alt body';
    }

    public function getFiles(): ?array
    {
        return null;
    }
}

In this example, OrderTemplate extends BaseMailer and provides implementations for the getSubject(), getHtml(), getText(), and getAttachments() methods.

Sending Email

To send an email using the OrderTemplate, you can use the Mailer class provided by Luminova framework.

// app/Controllers/MailerController.php
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;

use \Luminova\Email\Mailer;
use \App\Utils\OrderTemplate;

class MailerController extends BaseController
{
    public function sendEmail(): int
    {
        Mailer::to('[email protected]')->send(new OrderTemplate());
    }
}

In this code, an instance of Mailer is created, and the send() method is called with the OrderTemplate instance as an argument.The email will be sent with the configured subject, HTML content, alternative text body, and attachments defined in the OrderTemplate class.
