Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This package is aimed at creating a South African SMS package for for local SMS providers using their REST APIs. Below is a list of providers we currently integrated:

- [ZoomConnect](https://www.zoomconnect.com/)
- [WinSMS](https://www.winsms.co.za/)

Install
-------

[](#install)

`composer require innoflash/za-sms`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once the package is installed you will need to set the provider in the `.ENV` file as follows:

```
ZA_SMS_PROVIDER={provider}
```

Available providers:

- [zoomconnect](./setups/zoomconnect.md)
- [winsms](./setups/winsms.md)

### Use as a notification

[](#use-as-a-notification)

za-sms supports being a driver for [Laravel Notification](https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/notifications)

- In the `Notifiable` class set your model phone number field by overriding this

```
    function routeNotificationForZasms($notification)
    {
        return $this->phone_number;
    }
```

- In the `Notification` class use the za-sms as follows

```
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [ZaSMSChannel::class];
    }
```

- Then create the notification body as follows

```
    function toZaSMS($notifiable)
    {
        return (new ZaSMS)
            ->message('This is my message')
            ->sendAt(now()->addDays(2)) // for scheduling messegaes
            ->campaign('my campain'); //for message campaining
    }
```

### Use as a Facade

[](#use-as-a-facade)

At times you would want to send the SMS your own way so you can use the `ZaSMS` facade

```
    ZaSMS::setRecipientNumber('0651562779')
        ->setMessage('the facade message')
        ->sendMessage();

    //or

    ZaSMS::setMessageData([
        'recipientNumber' => '0027651562779',
        'message' => 'data message'
        ])->sendMessage();
```

### Additionally

[](#additionally)

You can also access the SMS Provider object using all available service container methods

```
    $provider = app()->make('za-sms');
    $provider = app()->make(SMSProviderContract::class);

    $provider = resolve('za-sms');
    $provider = resolve(SMSProviderContract::class);

    //or use dependency injection

    function myFunction(SMSProviderContract $provider){
        //todo use the provider
    }
```
