How to add plaintext version to Laravel email without using markdown

Question

I have some html emails that may be a bit too custom for a markdown, but I want to add the plain text versions to them. I know markdown emails do both, but can I manually add a plain text version to a mailable?

Answer 1

From the Laravel documentation:

If you would like to define a plain-text version of your email, you may use the text method. Like the view method, the text method accepts a template name which will be used to render the contents of the email. You are free to define both a HTML and plain-text version of your message:

/**
 * Build the message.
 *
 * @return $this
 */
public function build()
{
    return $this->view('emails.orders.shipped')
                ->text('emails.orders.shipped_plain');
}
