Laravel Mail queue Password Reset

Question

I'am trying to queue the password reset mail on laravel.

I have tried cloning the PasswordBroker as follow:

<?php
namespace App;

use Closure;
use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBroker as IlluminatePasswordBroker;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordContract;

class PasswordBroker extends IlluminatePasswordBroker
{

    public function emailResetLink(CanResetPasswordContract $user, $token, Closure $callback = null)
    {
    // We will use the reminder view that was given to the broker to display the
    // password reminder e-mail. We'll pass a "token" variable into the views
    // so that it may be displayed for an user to click for password reset.
        $view = $this->emailView;

        return $this->mailer->queue($view, compact('token', 'user'), function ($m) use ($user, $token, $callback) {
            $m->to($user->getEmailForPasswordReset());

            if (! is_null($callback)) {
                call_user_func($callback, $m, $user, $token);
            }
        });
    }

}

Then I get this error:

exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Serialization of closure failed: Serialization of closure failed: Serialization of 'Closure' is not allowed'

If I change mailer->queue to mailer->send it works fine. I can't figure ou what is happening.

Answer 1

When you put something into the Queue, Laravel serializes it into plain text, and stores it into the database - it can't do this with objects.

Instead: create a Job that captures all the info you need to send the email (user, token, etc), and then when the job is called, call the mail function as usual.

Answer 2

You need to declare the user email id to a variable and then pass it to the mail function

public function emailResetLink(CanResetPasswordContract $user, $token, Closure $callback = null)
    {
        $view = $this->emailView;
        $to = $user->getEmailForPasswordReset();


        return $this->mailer->queue($view, compact('token', 'user'), function ($m) use ($user,$to, $token, $callback) {
            $m->to($to);

            if (! is_null($callback)) {
                call_user_func($callback, $m, $user, $token);
            }
        });
    }
