Flutter – Sending Email with Attachment

To send an email with attachment in a Flutter application, you can use the ‘mailer’ package. Here’s an example of how to implement it:

Step 1: Add dependency

In your pubspec.yaml file, add the following dependency:

dependencies:
  mailer: ^5.0.0

Step 2: Import required packages

In your Dart file, import the necessary packages:

import 'package:mailer/mailer.dart';
  import 'package:mailer/smtp_server.dart';

Step 3: Write code for sending email

Here’s a sample code to send an email with attachment:

void sendEmailWithAttachment() async {
    String username = 'your-email@gmail.com';
    String password = 'your-password';
    final smtpServer = gmail(username, password);

    final message = Message()
      ..from = Address(username, 'Your Name')
      ..recipients.add('recipient-email@gmail.com')
      ..subject = 'Flutter Email Test'
      ..text = 'This is the plain body of the message. Attachments are supported.'
      ..attachments = [
        FileAttachment(File('path/to/attachment.pdf'))
      ];

    try {
      final sendReport = await send(message, smtpServer);
      print('Message sent: ${sendReport.sent}');
    } catch (e) {
      print('Error occurred: $e');
    }
  }

• Replace ‘your-email@gmail.com’ with your own email address.
• Replace ‘your-password’ with your email account password.
• Replace ‘recipient-email@gmail.com’ with the recipient’s email address.
• Replace ‘path/to/attachment.pdf’ with the actual path to your attachment file.

Step 4: Call the method

Finally, call the ‘sendEmailWithAttachment()’ method to send the email.

sendEmailWithAttachment();

Make sure you have the necessary permissions, such as internet access, in your Android and iOS manifest files.
