Plivo

A Plivo SMS integration for Laravel

Project is archived

Since producing this package, Plivo have updated their own API package which is comprehensive. As such I've decided to archive this project as I am not doing any current development on it.

Installation

This package requires PHP 5.6+, and includes a Laravel 5 Service Provider and Facade.

To install through composer include the package in your composer.json.

"midnite81/plivo": "0.1.*"

Run composer install or composer update to download the dependencies or you can run composer require midnite81/plivo.

Refresh Autoloader

At this point some users may need to run the command composer dump-autoload. Alternatively, you can run php artisan optimize which should include the dump-autoload command.

Laravel 5 Integration

To use the package with Laravel 5 firstly add the Messaging service provider to the list of service providers in app/config/app.php.

'providers' => [
  Midnite81\Plivo\MessagingServiceProvider::class
];

Add the Messaging facade to your aliases array.

'aliases' => [
  'Messaging' => Midnite81\Plivo\Facades\Messaging::class,
];

Publish the config and migration files using

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Midnite81\Plivo\MessagingServiceProvider"

To access Plivo/Messaging you can either use the Facade or the Messaging instance is bound to the IOC container and you can then dependency inject it via its contract.

Messaging::get('foo');

public function __construct(Midnite81\Plivo\Contracts\Services\Messaging $messaging)
{
    $this->messaging = $messaging;
}

Configuration File

Once you have published the config files, you will find a Plivo.php file in the config folder. You should look through these settings and update these where necessary.

Env

You will need to add the following to your .env file and update these with your own settings

PLIVO_AUTH_ID=<auth_id>
PLIVO_AUTH_TOKEN=<auth_token>
PLIVO_SOURCE_NUMBER=<default_sms_number>

Example Usage

use Midnite81\Plivo\Contracts\Services\Messaging;
    
public function sendMessage(Messaging $messaging) 
{
    $msg = $messaging->msg('Hello World!')->to('0123456789')->sendMessage(); 
}

// Or you can simply use the helper function
   
text('+44123456789', 'Just reminding you to attend the Dentist at 3.30pm');

Text takes three arguments, to, message and optionally from.

// If text is already defined as a function in your application you can use
text_message($to, $message, $from); // or
plivo_send_text($to, $message, $from);
