Mail

Introduction

JCC Express MVC provides a Laravel-style mail API with:

• Mail facade (jcc-express-mvc/lib/Mail)
• Mailable base class
• Envelope, Address, Content, and Attachment
• Driver manager (Nodemailer or Resend, based on MAIL_DRIVER)

Quick send with Mail

Mail.to(...).cc(...).bcc(...).send(...) builds a payload and routes it through MailManager.

Sending a Mailable class

Use Mailable for reusable templates and metadata:

Send it:

Attachments

The Attachment helper supports path, storage, and in-memory data:

Driver selection

MailManager chooses the driver from MAIL_DRIVER:

• resend -> Resend driver
• anything else (smtp, mailtrap, etc.) -> Nodemailer driver

Related env values used by drivers include:

• MAIL_DRIVER
• MAIL_HOST, MAIL_PORT, MAIL_USERNAME, MAIL_PASSWORD
• MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS, MAIL_FROM_NAME
• RESEND_API_KEY (or MAIL_API_KEY fallback)

Rendering behavior

• If content is Content, it compiles with its view and with data.
• If content is a string, it is treated as a view/template path and compiled.
• subject, recipients, cc/bcc, and attachments are then passed to the active driver.

Summary

• Use Mail.to(...).send(...) for simple emails.
• Use Mailable + Envelope + Content for reusable classes.
• Use Attachment for files/data payloads.
• Driver is selected automatically by MAIL_DRIVER.
