class MyTestMail extends Mailable
{
use Queueable, SerializesModels;
public $details;
/**
* Create a new message instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct($details)
{
$this->details = $details;
}
/**

<head>
<title>ItsolutionStuff.com</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{{ $details['title'] }}</h1>
<p>{{ $details['body'] }}</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
</body>
</html>
Step 4: Add Route

routes/web.php
Route::get('send-mail', function () {
$details = [
'title' => 'Mail from ItSolutionStuff.com',
'body' => 'This is for testing email using smtp'
];
\Mail::to('your_receiver_email@gmail.com')->send(new \App\Mail\MyTestMail($details));
dd("Email is Sent.");
});
