Transcript

Since we touched on email in the last episode, let's go ahead and create out the email
00:05
that gets sent when the order is created. So first things first, let's head over and go ahead and say php artisan, make mail, order created. We're again going to pass the markdown option in here before we created out a markdown email for our updated order. Now we're going to say emails, orders and created. Okay, great. So that's in there. Now
00:32
we can go ahead and fill that out. Let's head over to the order created email first of all. And we know that in here, we're probably going to want to accept the order in so we can grab the information about that. Let's go ahead and set that to public in here and make sure we pull the order in. And let's just pull all this up because we're not going to need any of this.
00:52
Okay, so the next thing is just setting the subject. So let's just pull this down. And let's say subject, your order has been placed or whatever you want to say. Okay, so over in created.blade.php, it's pretty much take the ID that we used before and just say, your order has been placed. And we can fill this in later or feel free to fill this in with any of the
01:25
information you need. And you can get rid of this button if you want or link through to the orders page. Okay, so how are we going to send this off? Well, it's pretty much going to be what we did when we have our order observer. So we can pretty much just grab what we've got here. We're going to go over to the checkout page and we're going to send the email down here. Let's pull mail in
01:46
and let's go ahead and say order created and pass the order in. Now for the order, we don't necessarily have a user attached to this. So we're just going to send it to the email address that's attached to the order, regardless of whether we're authenticated or not authenticated, that email gets stored. Okay, let's go ahead and just test this out really quickly. So let's go
02:07
ahead and search for a product here. I've got mail hog running like we saw before. So we'll open that up in just a second. Let's go over to our cart checkout and we could go ahead and sign in maybe. So that gets moved over to us and let's check out. Let's choose a pre-saved address. Again, we don't have a pre-saved address here. I've just cleared the database out. So we should probably
02:30
get rid of that in a later episode. Let's hit confirm order and pay and that email should be sent. Sure enough, if we open mail hog here and click on this, we see your order number one has been placed. Great. So we're sending an email now. We can fill this in later or you can fill this in with any information you need.
