A simple Laravel package for making it easier to use the official [Africa's Talking PHP gateway](http://docs.africastalking.com/sms/sending/php) in your Laravel application.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [PHP >=5.6.0](http://php.net/)
- [Laravel 5.x](https://github.com/laravel/framework)

Quick Installation
------------------

[](#quick-installation)

**Install the Package Via Composer:**

```
$ composer require "lawrence615/atgate:dev-master"
```

**Add the Service Provider to your `config/app.php` file:**

```
 'providers' => [
    ...
    Mobidev\ATGate\ATGateServiceProvider::class,
    ...
 ]
```

**Add the Facade to your `config/app.php` file:**

```
    'aliases' => [
        ...
        'AfricaTGate' => Mobidev\ATGate\Facades\AfricaTGate::class,
        ...
    ]
```

**Publish configuration and assets**

`$ php artisan vendor:publish`

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The last step of installation, `$ php artisan vendor:publish`, creates a config file (atgate.php) in the config directory.

You can generate the API Key [here](https://account.africastalking.com/settings/apikey). You will need to create an account first, username will be the one you create an account with.
