Laravel Newsletter

Laravel Newsletter is an open source project that can be used for sending newsletters to multiple subscribers, mailing lists, ... at once. This project can be used together with free mailing applications such as MailGun.

Installation

Step 1

First of all you need to clone the repository and install it using composer.

git clone git@github.com:NathanGeerinck/laravel-newsletter.git
cd laravel-newsletter && composer install
php artisan laravel-newsletter:install
npm run production

Step 2

Then you need to create a database and fill out the credentials in the .env file. An example:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel-newsletter
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

Once you've created the database you can migrate all the tables into your database by running:

php artisan migrate

If you want to import the demo data then you can run:

php artisan laravel-newsletter:demo

Step 3

For sending emails you need to fillout your mail credentials.. You can use a service like Mailgun. You can adjust these settings also in the .env file.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailgun.org
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=
MAIL_PASSWORD=
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

Step 4

If you want to use a Queue, it's possible!

Finish

Now you're ready to rock and roll! Visit the /register page of you're application and create an account! ;)

If you ran the php artisan laravel-newsletter:demo command, you can login with 'john.doe@gmail.com' and 'test123'.
