MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com

MAIL_PORT=465

MAIL_USERNAME=null

MAIL_PASSWORD=null

2:Configuration for job-queues

For creating new job in brief you may consider JOBS IN LARAVEL 10 , JOBS-QUEUES IN LARAVEL 10 now we will create jobs table in database which stores jobs and process them one by one with FCFS( first come first serve).
Copy for creating tableCopy

php artisan queue:table

It will create migration file and then we have to create this migration in our database
command for migartion Copy

php artisan migrate

3:Making job-queues

This will create Jobs table in database
Now we will create our new job with name SendEmailToUser
command for job: Copy

php artisan make:job SendEmailToUser

Now for the testing the jobs in laravel we will change the name of the users in App\Jobs\SendEmailToUser with the help of jobs , paste the following code in app/Jobs/SendEmailToUser to update the user
code for SendEmailToUserCopy

<?php

namespace App\Jobs;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldBeUnique;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;

use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;

use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

use Mail;

use Exception;

class SendEmailToUser implements ShouldQueue

{

use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;

/**

* Create a new job instance.

* @return void

public $desc;

public $type;

public $emails;

public $country;

public $subject;

public function __construct($emails)

{

$this->emails = $emails;

}

/**

* Execute the job.

* @return void

public function handle()

{

$emails = $this->emails;

foreach ($emails as $list) {

try {

$data = ['name' => $list->name];

$user['to'] = $list->email;

Mail::send('welcomeMail', $data, function ($messages) use ($user) {

$messages->to($user['to']);

$messages->subject('Delay in mail');

});

} catch (Exception $e) {

// add error

continue;

}

create a view welcomeMail in resources/views which will send in the mail

in .env file make QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync to QUEUE_CONNECTION=database
.env Copy

QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

$emails = User::get();

$job = (new SendEmailToUser($emails)) ->delay(now()->addSeconds(2));

dispatch($job);

}

return Redirect::back();

}

new SendEmailToUser($emails)) ->delay(now()->addSeconds(2) this method will add delay of 2 seconds in sending mail
