Gmail API for Laravel 5
You need to create an application in the Google Console. Guidance here.
- PHP 5.6 or higher
- Laravel 5
Add dacastro4/laravel-gmail to composer.json.
"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^2.0"
Run composer update to pull down the latest version.
Or run
composer require dacastro4/laravel-gmail
Now open up config/app.php and add the service provider to your providers array.
'providers' => [
Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\LaravelGmailServiceProvider::class,
]Now add the alias.
'aliases' => [
'LaravelGmail' => Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\Facade\LaravelGmail::class,
]For laravel >=5.5 that's all. This package supports Laravel new Package Discovery.
The only changed made was the multi credentials feature.
- Change your composer.json from
"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^1.0"to"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^2.0"
I had to change version because of a typo and that might break apps calling those attributes.
All variable with the word "threat" was change to "thread" (yeah, I know.. sorry) Ex:
Mail Class
$threatId => $threadId
Replyable Class
$mail->setReplyThreat() => $mail->setReplyThread()
and so on.
The only changed made was the multi credentials feature.
- Change your composer.json from
"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^0.6"to"dacastro4/laravel-gmail": "^1.0"
If you don't want the multi user credentials, you don't have to do anything else, if you do, you're going to have to login again to create a new credentials file per user.
You only have to set the following variables on your .env file and you'll be on your way:
GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID=
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=
GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=
GOOGLE_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_CREDENTIALS
GOOGLE_ALLOW_JSON_ENCRYPTTo modify the scopes and the credentials file name, just run:
Run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\LaravelGmailServiceProvider" and modify the config file config/gmail.php.
To allow multi user credentials change allow_multiple_credentials to true in your config file or set the .env variable
GOOGLE_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_CREDENTIALS to true if you're not using the config file.
To allow encryption for json files change allow_json_encrypt to true in your config file or set the .env variable
GOOGLE_ALLOW_JSON_ENCRYPT to true if you're not using the config file.
- all (this one doesn't exists on Gmail Scopes, I added it.)
- compose
- insert
- labels
- metadata
- modify
- readonly
- send
- settings_basic
- settings_sharing
Note: To change the scopes, users have to logout and login again.
If for some reason you need to add additional scopes.
Add additional scopes in URL Style in config/gmail.php
'additional_scopes' => [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets'
],
<body>
<h1>{{ LaravelGmail::user() }}</h1>
@if(LaravelGmail::check())
<a href="{{ url('oauth/gmail/logout') }}">logout</a>
@else
<a href="{{ url('oauth/gmail') }}">login</a>
@endif
</body>Route::get('/oauth/gmail', function (){
return LaravelGmail::redirect();
});
Route::get('/oauth/gmail/callback', function (){
LaravelGmail::makeToken();
return redirect()->to('/');
});
Route::get('/oauth/gmail/logout', function (){
LaravelGmail::logout(); //It returns exception if fails
return redirect()->to('/');
});Then if in your controller or wherever you want to do your logic, you do something like:
$messages = LaravelGmail::message()->subject('test')->unread()->preload()->all();
foreach ( $messages as $message ) {
$body = $message->getHtmlBody();
$subject = $message->getSubject();
}Note that if you don't preload the messages you have to do something like:
$body = $message->load()->getSubject();
and after that you don't have to call it again.
LaravelGmail::getAuthUrl Gets the URL to auth the user.
LaravelGmail::redirect You can use this as a direct method <a href="{{ LaravelGmail::redirect() }}">Login</a>
LaravelGmail::makeToken() Set and Save AccessToken in json file (useful in the callback)
LaravelGmail::logout Logs out the user
LaravelGmail::check Checks if the user is logged in
use Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\Services\Message\Mail;
...
$mail = new Mail;
For to, from, cc and bcc, you can set an array of emails and name or a string of email and name.
$mail->using( $token ) If you don't want to use the token file, you can use this function that sets the token to use in the request. It doesn't refresh
$mail->to( $to, $name = null ) sets the recipient email and name as optional
$mail->from( $from, $name = null ) sets sender's email
$mail->cc( $cc, $name = null ) sets carbon copy
$mail->bcc( $bcc, $name = null ) sets a blind carbon copy
$mail->subject( $subject ) sets the subject of the email
$mail->message( $message ) sets the body of the email
$mail->view( 'view.name', $dataArray ) sets the body from a blade file
$mail->attach( ...$path ) add file attachments to the email
$mail->priority( $priority ) sets the priority of the email from 1 to 5
$mail->reply() replies to an existent email
$mail->send() sends a new email
$mail->setHeader( $header, $value ) sets header to the email
$mail->getId returns the email's ID
$mail->getInternalDate returns date in UNIX format

$mail->getRawPlainTextBody Returns the raw version of the body base64 encrypted
$mail->hasAttachments Returns a boolean if the email has attachments
$mail->load Load all the information of the email (labels, body, headers). You call this function on a single email. To load from the beginning see preload()
$mail->getHeader( $headerName, $regex = null ) Returns the header by name. Optionally, you can execute a regex on the value
$mail->markAsRead Removes the 'UNREAD' label from the email.
$mail->markAsUnread Adds the 'UNREAD' label to the email.
$mail->markAsImportant Adds the 'IMPORTANT' label to the email.
$mail->markAsNotImportant Removes the 'IMPORTANT' label from the email.

$mail->getAttachments() Get a collection of all the attachments on the email
$mail->getAttachmentsWithData() Get a collection of all the attachments on the email including the data
use Dacastro4\LaravelGmail\Services\Message\Attachment
...
$attachment = new Attachment;
$attachment->getId Returns the ID of the attachment
$attachment->getFileName Returns the file name of the attachment
$attachment->getMimeType Returns the mime type Ex: application/pdf
$attachment->getSize Returns the size of the attachment in bytes
$attachment->getData Get the all the information from the attachment. If you call getAttachmentsWithData you won't need this method.
$attachment->saveAttachmentTo($path = null, $filename = null, $disk = 'local') Saves the attachment on the storage folder. You can pass the path, name and disk to use.
LaravelGmail::message()->all( $pageToken = null ) Returns all the emails from the inbox
LaravelGmail::message()->take(2)->all( $pageToken = null ) The take method limits the emails coming from the query by the number set
LaravelGmail::message()->get( $id ) Returns a single email with all the information
You can modify your query with these methods. For example:
To get all unread emails: LaravelGmail::message()->unread()->all()
message()->unread()
message()->from( $email )
message()->in( $box = 'inbox' )
message()->hasAttachment()
message()->subject($subject)
->after($date) and ->before($date)
message()->raw($query) for customized queries
All the possible filters are in the Filterable Trait
Of course you can use as a fluent api.
LaravelGmail::message()
->from('[email protected]')
->unread()
->in('TRASH')
->hasAttachment()
->all()You can preload the body, header and the rest of every single email just by calling this method.
LaravelGmail::preload()
Example:
LaravelGmail::message()
->from('[email protected]')
->unread()
->in('TRASH')
->hasAttachment()
->preload()
->all()If you're getting the Login Required error, try creating the gmail-json.json file under /storage/app/gmail/tokens/.
Hey dude! Help me out for a couple of 🍻!
