Dynamic configuration for mail setup from database.
Hi,
I am trying to configure mail settings using database. My application breaks whenever I try to run php artisan config:cache command.
My mail.php file:
<?php
use App\EmailSetting;
$email_settings = EmailSetting::first();
define('EMAIL_HOST',$email_settings ? $email_settings->host : '');
define('EMAIL_PORT',$email_settings ? $email_settings->port : '');
define('EMAIL_USERNAME',$email_settings ? $email_settings->email : '');
define('EMAIL_PASSWORD',$email_settings ? $email_settings->password : '');
define('EMAIL_ENCRYPTION',$email_settings ? $email_settings->encryption : '');
return [

Thanks @snapey. I have gone through the link.
I am wondering, would it be a good approach to store the configuration in the database. And then during the run time configure it with the config::set() function.
Level 122
There is no point in changing the config, you need to ensure that you are using new instances of the mail components not the ones that were started when the framework booted.
Level 2
Alright, I understand that I can configure the mail settings. But I have a Textlocal (SMS service company) package too integrated into my application. So, how can I create new instances of the message components? I tried on my own a lot but couldn't figure out anything.
Textlocal config file (textlocal.php)
<?php
return [
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Set credentials for Text Local
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This file is for storing the credentials for Text Local
|
*/
'key' => env('TEXTLOCAL_KEY'),
'username' => env('TEXTLOCAL_USERNAME'),
'hash' => env('TEXTLOCAL_HASH'),
'url' => env('TEXTLOCAL_URL','https://api.txtlocal.com/')
];
Textlocal Service Provider file (TextLocalServiceProvider.php)
<?php
namespace App\TextLocalApi;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class TextLocalServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap the application services.
*/
public function boot()
{
if ($this->app->runningInConsole()) {
$this->publishes([
__DIR__.'/../config/textlocal.php' => config_path('textlocal.php'),
], 'config');
}
}
/**
* Register the application services.
*/
public function register()
{
$this->mergeConfigFrom(__DIR__.'/../config/textlocal.php', 'textlocal');
$this->app->bind('textlocal', TextLocal::class);
}
}
I guess it is related to this line: $this->mergeConfigFrom(__DIR__.'/../config/textlocal.php', 'textlocal');
So, I even looked up the method in the ServiceProvider.php file. But didn't understand how it works.
Thanks

Hi,
How to encrypt email password?
Thanks.
Level 61
No need to encrypt it. Put it in .env file and do not commit that file to git or something like that. Just keep it on the server.
Level 13
For anybody coming here after Laravel 9 Here is a newer Solution working with Laravel 9 and upwards (since Swift_Mailer isn't used any more) In my opinion it is even a better solution https://blog.genijaho.dev/allowing-users-to-send-emails-with-their-own-smtp-settings-in-laravel-9
