- How do I install tobiasnagel01/resend-sdk in a Laravel app?
- Install it with Composer using composer require tobiasnagel01/resend-sdk. After installation, configure the Resend API key through the package's Laravel configuration and environment variables. Check the repository README for any service provider or config publishing steps, since this is an unofficial package.
- How do I configure the Resend API key for this Laravel SDK?
- The package uses environment-based configuration, so keep your Resend API key in your .env file rather than hard-coding it. In Laravel, reference that environment variable from the package config and clear cached config after changes. The README should list the exact variable and config key names.
- Which Laravel and PHP versions does tobiasnagel01/resend-sdk support?
- The package targets Laravel applications and plain PHP, but the overview does not list exact version constraints. Check the composer.json and README for required PHP and illuminate/support or Laravel version ranges before installing. If your app is on an older Laravel release, verify compatibility first.
- How do I send a transactional email with this Resend SDK?
- Use the SDK's fluent client methods to build an email with sender, recipient, subject, and HTML or text content, then call the send method. The package wraps Resend's transactional email API, so you do not need to write raw HTTP requests. See the README for the exact method names and required fields.
- Can I use this package with Laravel's Mail facade?
- The package blurb says it can integrate with Laravel's mail system through configuration, but it is an unofficial SDK. Confirm in the README whether it registers a full Laravel mail transport or is primarily a standalone client. If your app depends on Mail facade features, test the documented setup before replacing your current mailer.
- Does this SDK support Resend domains, audiences, contacts, and API keys?
- Yes, the overview lists endpoints for sending email plus managing domains, audiences, contacts, and API keys. It is designed to avoid raw HTTP calls for those operations. Check the README for the exact methods and any unsupported Resend endpoints.
- How does tobiasnagel01/resend-sdk handle API errors and responses?
- It provides typed responses and exceptions for predictable error handling. That means you can catch SDK exceptions and inspect response objects instead of parsing raw HTTP output. You should still add application-level logging and user-friendly error handling around sends.
- How should I test Laravel code that uses this Resend SDK?
- The overview does not document a built-in fake, so mock or stub the SDK client in your Laravel tests. Typed responses and exceptions make it easier to assert success and failure paths. For integration checks, use a test API key or sandbox if Resend provides one, and never run tests against production keys.
- Is this an official Resend SDK, and what are the alternatives?
- No, it is described as an unofficial Laravel/PHP SDK for Resend. Alternatives include Resend's official PHP SDK, Laravel's HTTP client for direct API calls, or an existing Laravel mail transport package. Choose based on whether you need Laravel-friendly configuration and management endpoints or vendor-maintained SDK support.
- What should I check before using this package in production?
- Review the GitHub repository for recent releases, open issues, documentation quality, and Composer version constraints. Keep the Resend API key in environment variables, catch typed exceptions, and monitor send failures and rate limits. Because it is unofficial, pin the package version and watch for upstream Resend API changes.
