I'm trying to set a default sender to all messages in Swift Mailer 4.3.0, but couldn't find a proper solution. I want to avoid using ->setFrom() in every message, since it'll be a future headache. I could use a constant for that, but I was looking for a more elegant solution.
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance() ->setSubject('subject') ->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'Sender')) ->setTo(array('[email protected]')) ->setBody('Message'); Thanks!
You can't.
As far as I know, you can't omit this parameter.
A
From:address is required and is set with thesetFrom()method of the message.From:addresses specify who actually wrote the email, and usually who sent it.
This is maybe the best solution:
->setFrom(MyClass::FROM_EMAIL); Once thing you can try, is to create an instance once in your application, and clone it when you want to send a new mail without re-defining the from part:
// somewhere early in your app $message = Swift_Message::newInstance() ->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'Sender')); And then, somewhere else:
$newMessage = clone $message; $newMessage ->setSubject('subject') ->setTo(array('[email protected]')) ->setBody('Message') ->send(); 
$message to avoid bad behavior if I have to send different mail. The case here, is I define $message somewhere in my app and then re-use it every where. (I agree it's not the best solution, but I guess that was my idea when I wrote it)If you use a SwiftMailer ≥ 4 and are familiar with Composer, you can use a Defaults Plugin for SwiftMailer to achieve this.
First install the package:
composer require finesse/swiftmailer-defaults-plugin Second set up a Swift_Mailer instance:
$mailer = new Swift_Mailer(/* your transport here */); $mailer->registerPlugin(new Finesse\SwiftMailerDefaultsPlugin\SwiftMailerDefaultsPlugin([ 'from' => ['[email protected]' => 'Sender'] ])); And then send emails without specifying the from address:
$mailer->send((new Swift_Message()) ->setSubject('subject') ->setTo(array('[email protected]')) ->setBody('Message'));
