Composes and optionally sends an email message.

Sending an email works with defining an email template (subject, text and possibly email headers) and the replacement values to use in the appropriate places in the template. Processed email templates are requested from hook_mail() from the module sending the email. Any module can modify the composed email message array using hook_mail_alter(). Finally \Drupal::service('plugin.manager.mail')->mail() sends the email, which can be reused if the exact same composed email is to be sent to multiple recipients.

Finding out what language to send the email with needs some consideration. If you send email to a user, use \Drupal\Core\Session\AccountInterface::getPreferredAdminLangcode(). If you send email based on form values filled on the page, there are two additional choices if you are not sending the email to a user on the site. You can either use the language used to generate the page or the site default language. See Drupal\Core\Language\LanguageManagerInterface::getDefaultLanguage(). The former is good if sending email to the person filling the form, the later is good if you send email to an address previously set up (like contact addresses in a contact form).

Taking care of always using the proper language is even more important when sending emails in a row to multiple users. Hook_mail() abstracts whether the mail text comes from an administrator setting or is static in the source code. It should also deal with common mail tokens, only receiving $params which are unique to the actual email at hand.

An example:

function example_notify($accounts) {
  foreach ($accounts as $account) {
    $params['account'] = $account;

    // example_mail() will be called based on the first
    // MailManagerInterface->mail() parameter.
    \Drupal::service('plugin.manager.mail')
      ->mail('example', 'notice', $account->mail, $langcode, $params);
  }
}
function example_mail($key, &$message, $params) {
  $data['user'] = $params['account'];
  $options['langcode'] = $message['langcode'];
  user_mail_tokens($variables, $data, $options);
  switch ($key) {
    case 'notice':

      // If the recipient can receive such notices by instant-message, do
      // not send by email.
      if (example_im_send($key, $message, $params)) {
        $message['send'] = FALSE;
        break;
      }
      $message['subject'] = t('Notification from @site', $variables, $options);
      $message['body'][] = t("Dear @username\n\nThere is new content available on the site.", $variables, $options);
      break;
  }
}

Another example, which uses MailManagerInterface->mail() to format a message for sending later:

$params = array(
  'current_conditions' => $data,
);
$to = 'user@example.com';
$message = \Drupal::service('plugin.manager.mail')
  ->mail('example', 'notice', $to, $langcode, $params, FALSE);

// Only add to the spool if sending was not canceled.
if ($message['send']) {
  example_spool_message($message);
}

Parameters

string $module: A module name to invoke hook_mail() on. The {$module}_mail() hook will be called to complete the $message structure which will already contain common defaults.

string $key: A key to identify the email sent. The final message ID for email altering will be {$module}_{$key}.

string $to: The email address or addresses where the message will be sent to. The formatting of this string will be validated with the PHP email validation filter. Some examples are:

string $langcode: Language code to use to compose the email.

array $params: (optional) Parameters to build the email. Use the key '_error_message' to provide translatable markup to display as a message if an error occurs, or set this to false to disable error display.

string|null $reply: Optional email address to be used to answer.

bool $send: If TRUE, call an implementation of \Drupal\Core\Mail\MailInterface->mail() to deliver the message, and store the result in $message['result']. Modules implementing hook_mail_alter() may cancel sending by setting $message['send'] to FALSE.

Return value

array The $message array structure containing all details of the message. If already sent ($send = TRUE), then the 'result' element will contain the success indicator of the email, failure being already written to the watchdog. (Success means nothing more than the message being accepted at php-level, which still doesn't guarantee it to be delivered.)
