How to customize the email verification email from Laravel 5.7?

Question

I just upgraded to Laravel 5.7 and now I am using the built in Email Verification. However there is 2 things I have not been able to figure out and the primary issue is how

Answer 1

Building slightly on the answer by Andrew Earls, you can also publish all the markdown mail components used by the application with this command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-mail

Once that's done you'll have a series of html and markdown files to modify in resources/views/vendor/mail. This will allow you to modify the overall email layout and also 'theme' the CSS. I'd highly recommend having a good read of the Mail docs - Customizing The Components.

CSS theming

As a general email theming quick-start (Laravel 5.7), you can:

1. Publish the theme with php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-mail .
2. Copy resources/views/vendor/mail/html/themes/default.css to your own file. e.g resources/views/vendor/mail/html/themes/wayne.css
3. Edit config/mail.php and where you see 'theme' => 'default' change it to 'theme' => 'wayne'
4. Edit wayne.css to restyle your emails.

Hope that helps someone.
