Laravel: render templates in database

Question

My Laravel app allows users to modify email templates, then save them to database.

Sample:

Customer {{ $customer_name }} has accepted your proposed timing {{ $timing }} for PO {{ $po_no }}

(User can change 'customer' to 'client' etc.. but leave the {{ }} intact )

The app then loads dynamic data below into above template.

$data = array('customer_email'=> "email@mail.com", 'timing'=> "2pm",'po_no' => "PO001" );

Then email those rendered text to some emails.

How can I do that?

Rephrase:

load text from db
make it a Blade template
render that template with data

I get stuck at #2

Not possible without `eval()` and I wouldn't wanna go down that road... — lukasgeiter, Mar 31 '15 at 06:18
My solution so far: Save the customizable templates into view files. — hour man, Mar 31 '15 at 06:51

add email view to your views/emails folder
ex: mail_template.blade.php

Customer {{ $customer_name }} has accepted your proposed
 timing {{ $timing }} for PO {{ $po_no }}

send method

Mail::send('emails.mail_template', array('customer_email'=> "email@mail.com", 'timing'=> "2pm",'po_no' => "PO001" ), function($message)
            {
                $message->to('sendto@gmail.com')->subject('your email subject');
            });

instead of using array('customer_email'=> "email@mail.com".....) you can use your pre defined array $data – Alupotha Mar 31 '15 at 03:39
You mean, create **mail_template.blade.php** file, then store the db template inside? – hour man Mar 31 '15 at 03:56
