How to send params in compose method of mailer yii2

I'm trying to send one param ($id) to view layout\html.php using compose() method of mailer component. But i don't know how to get it

The code:

$id = 1;
Yii::$app->mailer->compose('\layouts\html.php', ['id' => $id])
->setFrom('[email protected]')
->setTo('[email protected]')
->setSubject('Email sent from Yii2-Swiftmailer')
->send();

And in a line of my view layout\html.php

<div><?php echo $id ?></div>

Error is here!

You don't call a view file with compose() method like this, you should use alias like @common, @frontend or any other relevant to the view you are trying to load mostly we place all views related to emails in common/mail so we will use @common alias in example.

You can use 2 ways

  1. You may pass additional view parameters to compose() method, which will be available inside the view files.Yii::$app->mailer->compose('@common/path/to/view', ['id' => $id]);

  2. Render HTML separately

$body =Yii::$app->view->renderFile('@common/path/to/view-file.php',['id'=>$id])

to render the HTML from the php file, pass it any parameters you want to like any normal view file and then attach it to the email body using setHtmlBody($body), use the following way 

$body = Yii::$app->view->renderFile ( '@common/mail/account-activation.php' , [
    'id' => $id 
        ] );

Yii::$app->mailer->compose()
->setFrom('[email protected]')
->setTo('[email protected]')
->setSubject('Email sent from Yii2-Swiftmailer')
->setHtmlBody($body)
->send()

Compose method takes special alias in format '@app/mail/layouts/default.php' So if you are using absolute format, use @ and path (yii2 aliases)

Reference to swift mailer you can see here: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-swiftmailer-mailer.html
