Use variables inside the Markdown Mailables

Does anybody know how to get the variables working inside the Mardown template files?

Anyone who is looking for a solution, I wrote one here.

https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/18597#issuecomment-296346808

it's incredibly annoying that this is so undocumented.

I was trying to add an unsubscribe link in the footer based on if the user was subscribed to the given email... can't seem to get variables into the sub components.

1. which comes first, markdown or html in the parsing? might be obvious, but you have to tinker with it to figure it out.

2. you can pass variables but you can't get them deeper into the nested views. supposedly you can pass them something like @component('mail::message', ['testvar' => $testvar]) but this doesn't appear to work.

I've wasted an hour screwing with this and just giving up and going back to straight html templates.

the above solution isn't working for me.

Yes, i did it... First the Mailable Class

use Queueable, SerializesModels;

/**
 * Create a new message instance.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function __construct() {

}

/**
 * Build the message.
 *
 * @return $this
 */
public function build(Request $request) {
    $email = $request->email;

    return $this->from($request->email)
        ->markdown('auth.mail.contactNew')
        ->with('email', $request->email);
}
}

Then... the Blade file

@component('mail::message')

Introduction

{{$email}}
The body of your message.

@component('mail::button', ['url' => ''])
Button Text
@endcomponent

Thanks,

{{ config('app.name') }}
@endcomponent

Is there a solution for this - I'm finding it impossible to pass any variables through to the footer or header using the @component('mail::footer', ['testvar' => $testvar]) suggestion in the docs in the blade template for the email. Keep getting an undefined variable error. Should say all the solutions don't seem to address the issue of headers and footers unless I'm missing something.

I was struggling with the same problem for a few minutes now just to realise that it is indeed available if you pass it on directly in your first entry point.

So, you create your mailable, where you specify the markdown template to be used (and make your variable public of course):

class Example extends Mailable
{
    public $variable;

    // ...
    
    public function build()
    {
        return $this->markdown('mail.example');
    }
}

Then you have something like this in your resources/views/mail/example.blade.php:

@component('mail::message')
// ...
@endcomponent

Instead, you should have this:

@component('mail::message', ['variable' => $variable])
// ...
@endcomponent

If you do that, the $variable will be available throughout your mail, including your footer and not just within the body. I hope it helps - it has solved the problem for me.

@BARNABAS.KECSKES - Ok i've been looking for a working solution for the last 10 minutes and this is by far the best and easiest. Thank you lol.
