Laravel 5.4^ - How to customize notification email layout?

Make sure to have the right configuration in your config/mail.php :

'markdown' => [
    'theme' => 'default',
    'paths' => [
        resource_path('views/vendor/mail'),
    ]
],

Run this command

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-notifications
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-mail

update for laravel 5.7+

php artisan vendor:publish

and then you will get:

  [<number>] Tag: laravel-mail
  [<number>] Tag: laravel-notifications

and then just type in that number in front to publish the file for editing

---

and then in

/resources/views/vendor/mail/html/

you can edit all the components and customize anything you want. For example i have edited the sentence "All rights reserved". to "All test reserved" at the bottom of that image inside this file:

/resources/views/vendor/mail/html/message.blade.php

and this is what i got:

I wrote an article on how to create a notification and modify your template including the header and footer.

It includes the explanation on how the Laravel components work and how to pass your data to a new email template.

The most important part is placing the following code inside your email template:

@component('mail::layout')
    {{-- Header --}}
    @slot('header')
        @component('mail::header', ['url' => config('app.url')])
            Header Title
        @endcomponent
    @endslot
{{-- Body --}}
    This is our main message {{ $user }}
{{-- Subcopy --}}
    @isset($subcopy)
        @slot('subcopy')
            @component('mail::subcopy')
                {{ $subcopy }}
            @endcomponent
        @endslot
    @endisset
{{-- Footer --}}
    @slot('footer')
        @component('mail::footer')
            © {{ date('Y') }} {{ config('app.name') }}. Super FOOTER!
        @endcomponent
    @endslot
@endcomponent
