{
    $message->to($email)->subject($subject);
});

Usage

Create a class for specific case like so:, _(*7)

<?php namespace Acme\Mailers;

use Mabasic\Mailer\Mailer;

class ContactMailer extends Mailer {

    public function send($data)
    {
        $view = 'emails.contact';
        $subject = 'Test';
        $email = 'test@test.com';

        $this->sendTo($email, $subject, $view, $data);
    }

}

<?php

use Acme\Mailers\ContactMailer;

class MailerController extends \BaseController {

    function __construct(ContactMailer $contactMailer)
    {
        $this->contactMailer = $contactMailer;
    }

    public function sendMail()
    {
        // Get some data for the email, like user name, message, etc ...

        $data = [
            'name' => 'John Doe',
            'comment' => 'Hello, nice to meet you.'
        ];

        $this->contactMailer->send($data);
