SwiftmailerServiceProvider

The SwiftmailerServiceProvider provides a service for sending email through the Swift Mailer library.

You can use the mailer service to send messages easily. By default, it will attempt to send emails through SMTP.

Parameters

• swiftmailer.options: An array of options for the default SMTP-based configuration.

  The following options can be set:

  • host: SMTP hostname, defaults to ‘localhost’.
  • port: SMTP port, defaults to 25.
  • username: SMTP username, defaults to an empty string.
  • password: SMTP password, defaults to an empty string.
  • encryption: SMTP encryption, defaults to null.
  • auth_mode: SMTP authentication mode, defaults to null.

  Example usage:

  $app['swiftmailer.options'] = array(
      'host' => 'host',
      'port' => '25',
      'username' => 'username',
      'password' => 'password',
      'encryption' => null,
      'auth_mode' => null
  );
  

Services

• mailer: The mailer instance.

  Example usage:

  $message = \Swift_Message::newInstance();
  
  // ...
  
  $app['mailer']->send($message);
  

• swiftmailer.transport: The transport used for e-mail delivery. Defaults to a Swift_Transport_EsmtpTransport.

• swiftmailer.transport.buffer: StreamBuffer used by the transport.

• swiftmailer.transport.authhandler: Authentication handler used by the transport. Will try the following by default: CRAM-MD5, login, plaintext.

• swiftmailer.transport.eventdispatcher: Internal event dispatcher used by Swiftmailer.

Registering

$app->register(new Silex\Provider\SwiftmailerServiceProvider());

Note

SwiftMailer comes with the “fat” Silex archive but not with the regular one. If you are using Composer, add it as a dependency to your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "swiftmailer/swiftmailer": ">=4.1.2,<4.2-dev"
}

Usage

The Swiftmailer provider provides a mailer service:

$app->post('/feedback', function () use ($app) {
    $request = $app['request'];

    $message = \Swift_Message::newInstance()
        ->setSubject('[YourSite] Feedback')
        ->setFrom(array('noreply@yoursite.com'))
        ->setTo(array('feedback@yoursite.com'))
        ->setBody($request->get('message'));

    $app['mailer']->send($message);

    return new Response('Thank you for your feedback!', 201);
});

Traits

Silex\Application\SwiftmailerTrait adds the following shortcuts:

• mail: Sends an email.

$app->mail(\Swift_Message::newInstance()
    ->setSubject('[YourSite] Feedback')
    ->setFrom(array('noreply@yoursite.com'))
    ->setTo(array('feedback@yoursite.com'))
    ->setBody($request->get('message')));
