Laravel mail: pass string instead of view
Question
I want to send a confirmation e-mail using laravel. The laravel Mail::send() function only seems to accept a path to a file on the system. The problem is that my mailtemplates are stored in the database and not in a file on the system.
How can I pass plain content to the email?
Example:
$content = "Hi,welcome user!";
Mail::send($content,$data,function(){});

update: In Laravel 5 you can use raw instead:
Mail::raw('Hi, welcome user!', function ($message) {
$message->to(..)
->subject(..);
});
This is how you do it:
Mail::send([], [], function ($message) {
$message->to(..)
->subject(..)
// here comes what you want
->setBody('Hi, welcome user!'); // assuming text/plain
// or:
->setBody('<h1>Hi, welcome user!</h1>', 'text/html'); // for HTML rich messages
});

For Html emails
Mail::send(array(), array(), function ($message) use ($html) {
$message->to(..)
->subject(..)
->from(..)
->setBody($html, 'text/html');
});

The Mailer class passes a string to addContent which via various other methods calls views->make() . As a result passing a string of content directly won't work as it'll try and load a view by that name.
What you'll need to do is create a view which simply echos $content
// mail-template.php
<?php echo $content; ?>
And then insert your string into that view at runtime.
$content = "Hi,welcome user!";
$data = [
'content' => $content
];
Mail::send('mail-template', $data, function() { });

It is not directly related to the question, but for the ones that search for setting the plain text version of your email while keeping the custom HTML version, you can use this example :
Mail::raw([], function($message) {
$message->from('contact@company.com', 'Company name');
$message->to('johndoe@gmail.com');
$message->subject('5% off all our website');
$message->setBody( '<html><h1>5% off its awesome</h1><p>Go get it now !</p></html>', 'text/html' );
$message->addPart("5% off its awesome\n\nGo get it now!", 'text/plain');
});
If you would ask "but why not set first argument as plain text ?", I made a test and it only takes the html part, ignoring the raw part.
If you need to use additional variable, the anonymous function will need you to use use() statement as following :
Mail::raw([], function($message) use($html, $plain, $to, $subject, $formEmail, $formName){
$message->from($fromEmail, $fromName);
$message->to($to);
$message->subject($subject);
$message->setBody($html, 'text/html' ); // dont miss the '<html></html>' or your spam score will increase !
$message->addPart($plain, 'text/plain');
});
Hope it helps you folks.

try
public function build()
{
$message = 'Hi,welcome user!'
return $this->html($message)->subject($message);
}

I had a similar issue where the HTML and/or plain text of my email were not built by a view and I didn't want to create a dummy view for them (as proposed by @Matthew Odedoyin).
As others have commented, you can use $this->html() to set the HTML content of the message, but what if you want your email to have both HTML and plain text content?
Unfortunately $this->text() only takes a view, but I got around this by using:
$this->text(new HtmlString('Here is the plain text content'));
Which renders the content of the HTMLString instead of the view.

as you know
Only mailables may be queued.
meaning, if you use ShouldQueue interface
1) first, you should always do
php artisan queue:restart
2) second, in your mailable you can use html method (tested in laravel 5.8)
public function build(): self
{
return $this
->html('
<html>
<body>
ForwardEmail
</body>
</html>
')
->subject(config('app.name') . ' ' . 'email forwarded')
->attachData($this->content, 'email.eml', [
'mime' => 'application/eml',
]);
}

If you were using mailables. You can do something like this in the build method :
public function build()
{
return $this->view('email')
->with(['html'=>'This is the message']);
}
And you just go ahead and create the blade view email.blade.php in your resource folder.
Then in the blade you can reference your string using laravel blade syntax
<html>
<body>
{{$html}}
</body>
</html>
or
<html>
<body>
{!!$html!!}
</body>
</html>
If your raw text contains HTML mark up I hope this works for those who have templates stored in the database and wants to take advantage of the Mailables class in Laravel.

To send raw html, text etc using Laravel Mailables you can
override Mailable->send() in your Mailable and in there, use the method in previous responses:
send([], [], function($message){ $message->setBody() } )
No need to call $this->view() at your build function at all.

NOTE: Below answer is for those who are looking for a flexible approach. i,e (with or without laravel template)
With Template
$payload['message'] = View::make('emails.test-mail',$data)->render();
Without Template
$payload['message'] = "lorem ipsum";
Mail::raw([], function ($mail) use ($payload) {
$mail->from($payload['from_email'])
->to($payload['to'])
->setBody($payload['message'], 'text/html')
->cc($payload['cc'])
->bcc($payload['bcc'])
->subject($payload['subject']);
foreach ($payload['attachments'] as $file){
$mail->attach($file);
}
});

This can be accomplished within a Mailable implementation, with plain text and html content parts:
public function build() {
// Text and html content sections we wish to use in place of view output
$bodyHtml = ...
$bodyText = ...
// Internally, Mailer::renderView($view) interprets $view as the name of a blade template
// unless, instead of string, it is set to an object implementing Htmlable,
// in which case it returns the result $view->toHtml()
$htmlViewAlternative = new class($bodyHtml) implements Htmlable {
protected string $html;
public function __construct($html) {
$this->html = $html;
}
public function toHtml(): string {
return $this->html;
}
};
// We can now set both the html and text content sections without
// involving blade templates. One minor hitch is the Mailable::view($view)
// documents $view as being a string, which is incorrect if you follow
// the convoluted downstream logic.
/** @noinspection PhpParamsInspection */
return $this
->to(...)
->from(...)
->subject(...)
->view([
'html' => $htmlViewAlternative,
'raw' => $bodyText
]);
}

Laravel mailable 现在有一个->html()函数来代替->view()并且可以在没有->text()的情况下使用 o

laravel 9 has built in function to send HTML without view. Here is the example:
\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail::html($content, function ($message) {
$message->to("email@example.com")
->subject("Test dev 4")
->from("email@example.com");
});
and also if we use accepted answer will return:
Symfony\Component\Mime\Message::setBody(): Argument #1 ($body) must be of type?Symfony\Component\Mime\Part\AbstractPart, string given, called in /Users/yaskur/Sites/laravel/mail-builder/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/Traits/ForwardsCalls.php on line 23
It's happened because laravel use new library to send email. Previously, use Swiftmailer and now use Symfony Mailer. To send HTML email without view you can also use below code:
Mail::raw("", function ($message) use ($content) {
$body = new \Symfony\Component\Mime\Part\TextPart($content);
$message->to("dyas@example.com")
->subject("Test dev")
->from("no-reply@example.com")
->setBody($body);
});
