Installation

You can install this package via composer:

composer require utel/utelsms

The service provider gets loaded automatically.

Setting up the UTelSms service

Please note if you do not have a VALID sender_ID remove "AT_FROM" from your .env or leave it as ""

UTCL_BASE_DOMAIN=""
UTCL_TOKEN=""
UTCL_FROM=""

To load them, add this to your config/services.php . This will load the AfricasTalking data from the .env file.file:

'utelsms' => [
    'baseDomain'      => env('UTCL_BASE_DOMAIN'),
    'token'           => env('UTCL_KEY'),
    'from'          => env('UTCL_FROM'),
]

Add the routeNotificationForUTelSms method on your notifiable Model. If this is not added, the phone_number field will be automatically used.

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;

    /**
     * Route notifications for the channel.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Notifications\Notification  $notification
     * @return string
     */
    public function routeNotificationForUTelSms($notification)
    {
        return $this->phone_number;
    }
}

Usage

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

<?php

use NotificationChannels\UTelSms\UTelSmsChannel;
use NotificationChannels\UTelSms\UTelSmsMessage;

class NewsWasPublished extends Notification
{

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [UTelSmsChannel::class];
    }

    public function toUTelSms($notifiable)
    {
		return (new UTelSmsMessage())
                    ->content('Your SMS message content');

    }
}

You can also modify who the notification(SMS) is sent from, this will override the AT_FROM= in your .env Please only do this if you have a VALID sender_ID

        return (new UTelSmsMessage())
                    ->content("Your SMS message content")
                    ->from("set any sender id/name here");

You can also modify who the notification(SMS) is sent to (the recipient)

        return (new UTelSmsMessage())
                    ->content("Your SMS message content")
                    ->to("put the recipient phone number here"); //eg ->to(716094525)

It's important to know the Order in which the recipient phone number the notification(SMS) will be sent to will be used

1. If you have defined the routeNotificationForUTelSms() method on the Notifiable class (User.php in this case) and returned a valid phone number, then that will be used.

2. if you did not define routeNotificationForUTelSms() method on the Notifiable class (User.php in this case), then the phone_number attribute of the User will be used ($user->phone_number)

3. Lastly if the recipient phone number is set using ->to(716094525), this will override the phone number provided in either 1 or 2.

        return (new UTelSmsMessage())
                    ->content("Your SMS message content")
                    ->to("put the recipient phone number here"); //eg ->to(716094525)
