In this tutorial, we will learn how to implement Task Scheduling in Laravel 8. We will build a demo app that will e-mail the weekly report of an employee’s task details to their manager. <\/p>\n

Task Scheduling in Laravel 8 Tutorial: What are we building?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s clarify what we are going to build in the demo. <\/p>\n

The user interface will have a form that will take details (employee with tasks) and the manager\u2019s email ID (to send a weekly report).
\nAfter submitting the form, the report will automatically be generated and mailed to the manager at the end of the week.<\/p>\n

Create and Navigate to Laravel Project<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start a new Laravel project, for that run the below command in your cmd,<\/p>\n

composer create-project laravel\/laravel task-scheduling-demo\r\ncd task-scheduling-demo<\/pre>\n
Create Controller: TaskAddController<\/h2>\n
After creating the database and adding mail configurations to the .env file, use the following command to create a controller.<\/p>\n
php artisan make:controller TaskAddController<\/pre>\n
User Interface: Create Form<\/h2>\n
Moving towards the UI part. We need to create a form that will take employee and task details with the manager\u2019s email ID (the report will be sent).<\/p>\n
Open welcome.blade.php<\/strong> and add below code in your <\/strong> tag.
\n\"Task<\/p>\n
The UI will look something like this-<\/p>\n
\"Task<\/p>\n

Add Route<\/h2>\n
For adding route, use below code in web.php<\/strong> file<\/p>\n
use App\\Http\\Controllers\\TaskAddController;\r\nRoute::post('\/addData',[TaskAddController::class,'addTask'])->name('addData');<\/pre>\n
Create Model and Migration<\/h2>\n
In this step we will create one model and migration file to save the report of the employee. For that use the below command.<\/p>\n
p h p artisan make:model AddTask -m<\/pre>\n
After creating the migration file, add table structure in it.<\/p>\n
\"Task<\/p>\n
Update Controller<\/h3>\n
To update TaskAddController <\/strong>add below code:<\/p>\n
< ?php\r\n \r\nnamespace App\\Http\\Controllers;\r\n \r\nuse Illuminate\\Http\\Request;\r\nuse App\\Models\\AddTask;\r\n \r\nclass TaskAddController extends Controller\r\n{\r\n   public function addTask(Request $request)\r\n   {\r\n       $data = $request->all();\r\n       $task = new AddTask();\r\n       $task- > e_id = $data['e_id'];\r\n       $task- > e_name = $data['e_name'];\r\n       $task- > e_email = $data['e_email'];\r\n       $task- > manager_email = $data['manager_email'];\r\n       $task- > t_mon = $data['t_mon'];\r\n       $task- > t_tue = $data['t_tue'];\r\n       $task- > t_wed = $data['t_wed'];\r\n       $task- > t_thu = $data['t_thu'];\r\n       $task- > t_fri = $data['t_fri'];\r\n       $task- > save();\r\n       return back()->with('status','Data added successfully');\r\n   }\r\n \r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
Create Mail Class with Markdown<\/h3>\n
Now we create a mail class with a markdown<\/a>. For that apply the below command.<\/p>\n
php artisan make:mail WeeklyReport --markdown=emails.weeklyReport<\/pre>\n
Update Mail Class<\/h3>\n
After creating, update the mail class. <\/p>\n
Open App\\Mail\\WeeklyReport.php<\/em> <\/p>\n
< ?php\r\n \r\nnamespace App\\Mail;\r\n \r\nuse Illuminate\\Bus\\Queueable;\r\nuse Illuminate\\Contracts\\Queue\\ShouldQueue;\r\nuse Illuminate\\Mail\\Mailable;\r\nuse Illuminate\\Queue\\SerializesModels;\r\n \r\nclass WeeklyReport extends Mailable\r\n{\r\n    use Queueable, SerializesModels;\r\n \r\n    public $body;\r\n \r\n    \/**\r\n     * Create a new message instance.\r\n     *\r\n     * @return void\r\n     *\/\r\n    public function __construct($body)\r\n    {\r\n        $this->body = $body;\r\n    }\r\n \r\n    \/**\r\n     * Build the message.\r\n     *\r\n     * @return $this\r\n     *\/\r\n    public function build()\r\n    {\r\n        return $this->markdown('email.weeklyReport');\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
For creating mail structure, open views\\email\\weeklyReport.blade.php<\/strong><\/p>\n
Hello..\r\nThis mail contains Weekly report of your Team.\r\n
