SMS Service that enclose Nexmo, Twilio and WhatsApp messaging for Laravel

Description

This project allows you to have a centralized and easy way to use SMS messaging services in Laravel 5 projects.

Status

This first version will allow you to send and receive SMS using Nexmo and Twilio.
Soon releases will use the rest of the API features and will include WhatsApp.

Installation

composer require fortifycode/full-sms

Setup

Modify the file config/app to include the provider in the list:

'providers' => [
// ...
    'FortifyCode\FullSms\FullSmsServiceProvider',
// ...
],

Then publish the configuration file to your local configuration directory:

php artisan vendor:publish

Now you should enter your API account information in the config file and choose which provider will be the default provider to use

return array(
    'default_provider' => 'twilio',
    'provider_aliases' => [
        'twilio' => 'FortifyCode\FullSms\Providers\TwilioSmsProvider',
        'nexmo' => 'FortifyCode\FullSms\Providers\NexmoSmsProvider',
    ],
    'twilio' => [
        'sid' => '',
        'token' => '',
        'default_number' => '',
    ],
    'nexmo' => [
        'api_key' => '',
        'api_secret' => '',
        'default_number' => '',
    ],
);

Usage

Now you can use the factory to retrieve the corresponding provider:

use FortifyCode\FullSms\MessageSenderFactory;

class MyClass {

    public function do_something() {
        // This one gets the default sender according to the configuration
        $default_sender =  MessageSenderFactory::make();
        
        // Using a specific sender using the alias from the configuration
        $nexmo_sender =  MessageSenderFactory::make('nexmo');
    }

}

Using this way you could choose which provider to use based on the user's configuration or any other parameter.
You can also change the aliases as you need or add more aliases.
