I'm trying to send an email with dynamic SMTP connection parameters. These parameters will be retrieved from a DB. So specifying the parameters in .env file (e.g.: MAILER_DSN=smtp://user:pass@smtp.example.com:port) as explained in official docs or defining multiples transports in .yaml files don't fit my requirements.
How could I send an email defining the mailer transport programmatically? For example, I'd like to make:
// I'd like to define $customMailer with some data retrieved from DB
$email = (new TemplatedEmail())
->from(new Address('example-from@example.com', 'Example'))
->to('example-to@example.com')
->subject('Subject')
->htmlTemplate('emails/my-template.html.twig')
->context([]);
$customMailer->send($email);
There are some considerations to take into account when running the program:
use Symfony\Bridge\Twig\Mime\BodyRenderer;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Transport;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Mailer;
use Symfony\Bridge\Twig\Mime\TemplatedEmail;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Address;
use Twig\Environment;
use Twig\Loader\FilesystemLoader;
// In my case this data is extracted from the DB
$user = 'example@gmail.com';
$pass = 'my-password';
$server = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$port = '465';
// Generate connection configuration
$dsn = "smtp://" . $user . ":" . $pass . "@" . $server . ":" . $port;
$transport = Transport::fromDsn($dsn);
$customMailer = new Mailer($transport);
// Generates the email
$email = (new TemplatedEmail())
->from(new Address('example-from@example.com', 'Example'))
->to('example-to@example.com')
->subject('Subject')
->htmlTemplate('emails/my-template.html.twig')
->context([]);
// IMPORTANT: as you are using a customized mailer instance, you have to make the following
// configuration as indicated in https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/35990.
$loader = new FilesystemLoader('../templates/');
$twigEnv = new Environment($loader);
$twigBodyRenderer = new BodyRenderer($twigEnv);
$twigBodyRenderer->render($email);
// Sends the email
$customMailer->send($email);
I hope it will prevent someone from wasting their time!
