Usage

To use this package, you need to create a notification class, like InvoicePaid from the example below, in your Laravel application. Make sure to check out Laravel's documentation for this process.

Notification Example

<?php
namespace App\Notifications;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Multicaret\Notifications\Messages\UnifonicMessage;

class InvoicePaid extends Notification
{
   private $message;

    /**
     * Create a new notification instance.
     *
     * @param $message
     */
    public function __construct($message)
    {
        $this->message = $message;
    }
    
    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [
            'unifonic',
        ];
    }

    /**
     * Get the text message representation of the notification
     *
     * @param  mixed $notifiable
     *
     * @return UnifonicMessage
     */
    public function toUnifonic($notifiable)
    {
        return (new UnifonicMessage())
            ->content($this->message);
    }
}

Or pass the content you want directly into the constructor

public function toUnifonic($notifiable)
{
    return new UnifonicMessage('Laravel notifications are awesome!');
}

Sending Notifications

There are two methods to send a notification in Laravel:

Method 1

Using notify() function on any model that uses Notifiable trait. to achieve this you have to feed it with the proper column to be used as the recipient number, as shown in the following example, this function is placed within the User model (You might want to write it in different model in your case, just make sure to use Notifiable)

    /**
     * Route notifications for the Unifonic channel.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Notifications\Notification $notification
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function routeNotificationForUnifonic($notification)
    {
        return $this->phone; // where phone is the column within your, let's say, users table.
    }

Method 2

Using route() static function on Notification class.

Notification::route('unifonic', 'xxxxx')
                 ->notify(
                    new \App\Notifications\InvoicePaid('Laravel notifications are awesome!')
                 );
                 // where xxxxx is the phone number you want to sent to,
                 // i.e: 1xxxxxxx - NO NEED for _00_ or _+_
