SMS Notification Channel for Laravel

Introduction

This package makes it easy to send SMS notifications using different SMS provider with Laravel.

Installation

To install the PHP client library using Composer:

composer require shafimsp/laravel-sms-notification-channel

The package will automatically register itself.

Configuration

You can optionally publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Shafimsp\SmsNotificationChannel\SmsServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | The default SMS Driver
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | The default sms driver to use as a fallback when no driver is specified
    | while using the SMS.
    |
    | Supported: "nexmo", "log", "null"
    |
    */
    'default' => env('SMS_DRIVER', 'log'),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Log Channel
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | If you are using the "log" driver, you may specify the logging channel
    | if you prefer to keep mail messages separate from other log entries
    | for simpler reading. Otherwise, the default channel will be used.
    |
    */
    'log_channel' => env('SMS_LOG_CHANNEL'),
];

Usage

Notification

Set sms channel in via method on notification class

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['sms'];
    }

and define a toSms method on the notification class.

    /**
     * Get the SMS representation of the notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return string
     */
    public function toSms()
    {
        return 'Your message content goes here';
    }

Or

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return string
     */
    public function toSms()
    {
        return (new SmsMessage())
            ->content('Your message goes here');
    }

Unicode Content

If your SMS message will contain unicode characters, you should call the unicode method when constructing the SmsMessage instance:

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return string
     */
    public function toSms()
    {
        return (new SmsMessage())
            ->content('Your message goes here')
            ->unicode();
    }

Customizing The "From" Number

If you would like to send some notifications from a phone number that is different from the phone number specified in your config/services.php file, you may use the from method on a SmsMessage instance:

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return string
     */
    public function toSms()
    {
        return (new SmsMessage())
            ->content('Your message goes here')
            ->unicode();
    }

Routing SMS Notifications

When sending notifications via the sms channel, you should define a routeNotificationForSms method on the entity:

     /**
     * Route notifications for the Nexmo channel.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Notifications\Notification  $notification
     * @return string
     */
    public function routeNotificationForSms($notification)
    {
        return $this->phone;
    }

Direct method

\Shafimsp\SmsNotificationChannel\Facades\Sms::driver('nexmo')
        ->content("Message content goes here")
        ->to('MOBILE_NUMBER_TO_SENT_TO')
        ->send();
