In this tutorial we will try to send email using custom logger

First of all we need to create a channel for our custom log in config/logging.php


 'channels' => [

        'email' => [
            'driver' => 'custom',
            'via' => \App\Logging\CustomLogger::class
        ],
    ],

Once you have configured the custom driver channel, you're ready to define the class that will create your Monolog instance. This class only needs a single __invoke method which should return the Monolog logger instance. The method will receive the channels configuration array as its only argument:

Next we need to create out custom logger and handler. I create a new directory under app called Logging and in there I have CustomLogger.php


<?php

namespace App\Logging;

use Monolog\Logger;

class CustomLogger
{
    /**
     * Create a custom Monolog instance.
     */
    public function __invoke(array $config): Logger
    {
        return new Logger(
            env('APP_NAME'),
            [
                new CustomLoggerHandler(),
            ]
        );
    }
}

and CustomLoggerHandler.php


<?php

namespace App\Logging;

use Monolog\Handler\AbstractProcessingHandler;
use Snowfire\Beautymail\BeautymailFacade;

class CustomLoggerHandler extends AbstractProcessingHandler
{
    public function write(array $record)
    {

        BeautymailFacade::send('emails.my_mail', ['record' => $record], function ($message)  {
            $message->from('privacy@gmail.com')
                ->to("hello@gmail.com")
                ->subject("Email Log");
        });
        \Log::info("yoyo");
        \Log::info($record['message']);
        \Log::info(json_encode($record));
        \Log::info("yoyo");
    }
}

Now we need a blade file for email. Lett's create a blade file inside resources/views/emails/my_mail.blade.php


<html>

<head>
    <!-- Your title goes here -->
    <title>Email</title>
    <!-- End title -->
</head>

  <!-- You can change background colour here -->
  <body style="text-align: center; margin: 0; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0; padding-right: 0; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;background-color: #f2f4f6; color: #000000" align="center">

  <!-- Fallback force center content -->
  <div style="text-align: center;">


    <h1> {{$record['message']}} </h2>

  </div>

  </body>

</html>

That's it. Now I can call. For testing purpose I am using api route.

Route::get('/test-email-log', function () {
    Log::channel('email')->info('Bug');
});
