README

The Sparrow SMS Integration Package provides a simple and easy way to send SMS messages in your Laravel applications. With this package, you can integrate Sparrow SMS services into your Laravel project, manage SMS configurations, and interact with the Sparrow SMS API.

Installation

To install the package, run the following command in your Laravel project:

composer require bibekshrestha/sparrow-sms

Service Provider

Automatic Discovery

Laravel uses Package Auto-Discovery, so the service provider will be automatically discovered when you install the package. You do not need to manually add the provider in most cases.

Manual Discovery

If auto-discovery does not work for any reason, you can manually add the service provider to your config/app.php file. Add the following line to the providers array:

'providers' => [
    // Other providers...
    BibekShrestha\SparrowSms\SparrowSmsServiceProvider::class,
],

Laravel Version Compatibility

• Laravel 8.x, 9.x, 10.x

Configuration

After installing the package, publish the configuration file using the following Artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sparrow-sms

This will create a sparrow-sms.php file in your config directory. Open this file and add your Sparrow SMS credentials.

return [
    'token' => env('SPARROW_SMS_TOKEN'),
    'from' => env('SPARROW_SMS_FROM', 'TheAlert'),
    'url' => env('SPARROW_SMS_URL'),
    'credit_url' => env('SPARROW_SMS_CREDIT_URL'),
    'enable_logging' => env('SPARROW_SMS_ENABLE_LOGGING', false),
];

Make sure to set the following values in your .env file:

SPARROW_SMS_ENABLE_LOGGING=true
SPARROW_SMS_TOKEN=your_api_token
SPARROW_SMS_URL= https://api.sparrowsms.com/v2/sms/
SPARROW_SMS_CREDIT_URL=https://api.sparrowsms.com/v2/credit/

Example Usage

Sending to a Single Recipient

use SparrowSms;

$data = [
    'recipient_number' => '1234567890', // Single recipient number
    'message' => 'Hello, this is a test message.',
];

SparrowSms::send($data);

Sending to Multiple Recipients

use SparrowSms;

$data = [
    'recipient_numbers' => ['recipient_phone_number_1', 'recipient_phone_number_2'], // Multiple recipient numbers
    'message' => 'Hello, this is a test message to multiple recipients.',
];

SparrowSms::sendBulk($data);

Error Handling

• The function checks if both recipient_number and message are provided in the $data array. If not, an exception is thrown.
• If the API request fails, the function logs the error and throws an exception with the error message.
