It is better to save into database the input from CKEditor. This way you can edit / delete / create variants.

You can do it this way : 1. Create a form with CKEditor, the form has to use the POST method

<form method="POST" action="/admin/email/store">

<div class="form-group">
    <textarea name="email_content" id="editor1" rows="10" cols="80">
        This is my textarea to be replaced with CKEditor.
    </textarea>
    <script>
        // Replace the <textarea id="editor1"> with a CKEditor
        // instance, using default configuration.
        CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' );
    </script>
</div>
  1. Create a controller to store this value

The route to trigger the controller:

Route::post('/admin/email/store', 'EmailController@store');

The controller

public function store(Request $request) {
        $email= new Email;
        $email->email_content = $request->email_content;
        $email->save();
        return back();
}

In this example, I assume that you have created the Email model with at least a column 'email_content'. You can have other columns such as 'email_title' that you could populate from the form.

I think you can do it better by saving that content to database and next send it using email template.

For example take a look:

Mail::send('emails.email-template', ['data' => $data], function ($m) use ($data) {
    $m->from('[email protected]', $data['name']);
    $m->replyTo($data['email'], $data['name']);
    $m->to($data['to'])->subject($data['subject']);
});

And your email template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="pl">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
{!! $data['content'] !!}
</body>
</html>

You should be able to take the HTML generated from the form POST in your controller and do something simple like:

file_put_contents(resource_path('views/emails/email.blade.php'), $request->html)

Obviously you'll need to adjust the above accordingly to reference just the html portion.

There is nothing special going on to just name a file that is blade compatible.

If you need dynamic variable/placeholder support it's a little more complicated but still totally doable.
