To embed images in a Symfony mail, you can follow these steps:
- First, make sure you have the images you want to embed available in your project. Place them in a directory, such as "public/images/" in your Symfony project.
- In your mail template (e.g., "templates/emails/example.html.twig"), you can use the embed filter provided by Symfony's Twig integration. This filter allows you to embed images as attachments directly into your email. For example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
{% block body %}
<h1>Welcome to our newsletter!</h1>
<p>Here is an embedded image:</p>
<img src="{{ image_path('images/example.png') }}" alt="Example Image">
{% endblock %}
|
- In the above example, image_path() is a custom Twig function or filter that generates the correct URL for the embedded image. You'll need to define this function or filter in Twig.
- To define the image_path() function or filter, you need to create a Twig extension. Here's an example of how to define this extension:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 |
// src/Twig/AppExtension.php
namespace AppTwig;
use SymfonyComponentDependencyInjectionParameterBagParameterBagInterface;
use TwigExtensionAbstractExtension;
use TwigTwigFilter;
class AppExtension extends AbstractExtension
{
private $params;
public function __construct(ParameterBagInterface $params)
{
$this->params = $params;
}
public function getFilters()
{
return [
new TwigFilter('image_path', [$this, 'imagePath']),
];
}
public function imagePath($imagePath)
{
return $this->params->get('app.base_url').$imagePath;
}
}
|
- Register the Twig extension in the config/services.yaml file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
services:
AppTwigAppExtension:
arguments:
$params: '@parameter_bag'
tags:
- { name: twig.extension }
|
- Make sure you have defined the app.base_url parameter in your config/services.yaml file or any other configuration file:
1 2 3 4 |
# config/services.yaml
parameters:
app.base_url: 'https://example.com' # Replace with your actual website URL
|
That's it! Now, images specified using the image_path() function (e.g., {{ image_path('images/example.png') }}) in your mail templates will be embedded in your Symfony mail.
