This tutorial will show you how to use Queues in Laravel 5.5 For Email Verification's, this tutorial can be used for an introduction into queues and will help you in future requirements. Firstly if you need to set up Auth with the simple command
php artisan make:auth
and follow my previous tutorial for creating the email verification. You can find that here.
Your .env file shouldn't change much from the previous tutorial. If you haven't looked I'm using Gmail and here is what the .env file should look like. Notice the addition of QUEUE_DRIVER.
Run the following Laravel Artisan command to make a new queue job
php artisan make:job SendVerificationEmail
Now make your way to the new folder created in App/Jobs you should see a new job called SendVerificationEmail. Open this file and move the the Mail Namespace and along with the ConfirmEmail we added to the RegisterController in the previous tutorial into the Job.
Change the following.
//Add the user variable above the __contruct
protected $user;
//Add and assign the variable in the constructor.
public function __construct($user)
{
$this->user = $user;
}
//Now in the handle method we need to send the email, cut this out of the protected function registered in the Register Controller in the previous tutorial and change user to use the new variable.
Mail::to($this->user->email)->send(new ConfirmEmail($this->user));
Register Controller
Add the name space to the top.
use App\Jobs\SendVerificationEmail;
Where you moved the email send function out of registered add this.
dispatch(new SendVerificationEmail($user));
Testing the Email Verification Process
At the command line, execute the following command to start listening for the queue.
