About

The laravel-sms package allows you to send SMS messages via multiple service providers. It creates a new notification channel which you can utilize by calling the toSMS function in your notification classes. The package allows you to define custom rules to force sending SMS messages to certain countries using specific providers.

Installation

You may install this package via Composer:

composer require joinjit/laravel-sms

Configuration

Publish the configuration file where you can setup your SMS providers

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-sms"

Advanced

In order for the package to detect the phone number, your notifiable should have a phone attribute on the Model. The phone number should follow the E.164 international format (eg. +9613123456) or an InvalidReceiverPhoneNumber exception will be thrown.

To override the phone attribute on the notifiable Model, define a routeNotificationForSms function:

<?php

class User
{
    ...

    public function routeNotificationForSms()
    {
        return '+' . $this->phone_number;
    }

    ...
}

In this example, the User model has a phone_number attribute instead of phone and does not include the plus sign for phone numbers which does not conform with E.164 standards.

Usage

Create a new notification class using the php artisan make:notification <notification_name> command.

In your notification class, make sure to use the Joinjit\LaravelSMS\SMSChannel and Joinjit\LaravelSMS\SMSMessage classes. You should then specify the SMSChannel::class in your via method, and then implement a toSMS method that creates a new SMSMessage:

<?php

namespace App\Notifications;

use Joinjit\LaravelSMS\SMSChannel;
use Joinjit\LaravelSMS\SMSMessage;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class WelcomeNotification extends Notification
{
    use Queueable;
    
    /**
     * The SMS message text.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $text;

    /**
     * Create a new notification instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($text)
    {
        $this->text = $text;
    }

    /**
     * Get the notification channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array|string
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [SMSChannel::class];
    }

    /**
     * Get the SMS representation of the notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return SMSMessage
     */
    public function toSMS($notifiable)
    {
        return (new SMSMessage)
            ->sender(env('APP_NAME'))
            ->content($this->text);
    }
}

After creating your notification class, you may now utilize it as follows (given the model you are notifying already uses the Notifiable trait):

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\User;
use App\Notifications\WelcomeNotification;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Response;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    ...

    /**
     * Send a welcome SMS to the user.
     *
     * @param Request $request
     * @return Response
     */
    public function sendWelcomeSms(Request $request)
    {
        ...

        // Notify the user
        $user->notify(new WelcomeNotification("Welcome to the app!"));

        ...
    }

    ...
}
