README

This package provides a convenient way to send SMS from your Laravel application with mobiforte.com as a service provider.

Installation

Download and install Composer (from http://www.getcomposer.org/download) if you do not have it already installed on your machine.

Method 1:

Require this package:

composer require nanadjei/mobiforte

Method 2:

Require this package:

{
    "require": {
       "nanadjei/mobiforte": "0.2.*"
    }
}

and run this command.

composer update

After updating Composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

Laravel => 5.4

If you're using Laravel 5.5 and above, you can skip this step.

Nanadjei\Mobiforte\Mobiforte\MobiforteServiceProvider::class,

And the facade of the package to the $aliases array.

'MobiforteSms' => Nanadjei\Mobiforte\Facades\MobiforteSms::class

Configuration

Before you can start sending SMS you will need to set your api keys and default sender ID in your .env file. You can find your api key and api secret here https://web.mobiforte.com/developer and publish your config.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nanadjei\Mobiforte\MobiforteServiceProvider"

# In your root directory .env
# Note: Sender ID by default uses your app name (env('APP_NAME')). Sender Id must not exceed 11 characters.
MOBIFORTE_SMS_SENDER_ID=LaravelApp

MOBIFORTE_SMS_CLIENT_ID=YourClientId

MOBIFORTE_SMS_CLIENT_SECRET=YourClientSecrete

Usage

Below is a basic usage guide for sending SMS and checking SMS balance of your Mobiforte account.

# Basically sending sms uses api key set in .env file.
 MobiforteSms::send('02XXXXXXXX', "Hello from the other side.");

# Want to use a different api key?
 MobiforteSms::withFreshApiKeys("fresh_client_id", "fresh_client_secret")
   ->send("02XXXXXXXX", "Say hello from the other side.");

# To customize sender Id,
# NB: sender Id must not be more than 11 characters
MobiforteSms::from('CompanyName')->send('02XXXXXXXX', 'Say hello to a customer');

Schedule When To Send Message

A date and time in Y-m-d H:i:s format. This DateTime should only be added when you want to schedule the message at a given time.

$dateTime = \Carbon\Carbon::now()->addMinutes(30); // format: 2017-05-02 00:59:00
MobiforteSms::schedule('02XXXXXXXX', 'I have responded after 30 mins', $dateTime);

Check SMS balance

This will return your remaining balance.

MobiforteSms::balance();

# To check the balance using an api key different from the one set in the .env file
MobiforteSms::withFreshApiKeys("fresh_client_id", "fresh_client_secret")->balance();
