README
======

[](#readme)

This is a non-official implementation of Safaricom's Mpesa G2 API

### How do I get set up?

[](#how-do-i-get-set-up)

The preferred way is installation via composer:-

`composer require mxgel/mpesa`

That's all.

#### Auth

[](#auth)

To communicate with the daraja APIs, you'll always require an access token. This has been simplified for you in this library. All you have to do is provide an instance of `Mxgel\MPesa\Auth\Auth` to the execute method. A piece of code like:-

```
    /**
     * @var Auth
     */
    private $auth;

    /**
     * @return \Mxgel\MPesa\Auth\Auth
     */
    public function getAuth(): Auth
    {
        if (!$this->auth) {
            return $this->auth = new Mxgel\MPesa\Auth\Auth([
                'key'    => config('key'),
                'secret' => config('secret'),
            ]);
        }

        return $this->auth;
    }

```

#### MPESA Express

[](#mpesa-express)

This API is used to initiate online payment on behalf of a customer.

#### Example

[](#example)

Sample code (in Laravel) to initiate the payment can be something like this (use `Mxgel\MPesa\Requests\LNMO`).

```
$request = LNMO::make($amount, $phoneNumber, $shortCode, 'Wallet top up');
$request->setPassKey(config('LNMO_passkey'))
    ->setBusinessShortCode(config('LNMO_short_code'))
    ->setCallBackURL($callback);

$resp = $request->execute($this->getAuth());
Log::info('STk data', $request->toArray());

//NOTE: For a real application, save this details in a data store
```

We now need to write a callback that will receive data from safaricom upon request completion by the customer. **Remember to save request details above in a data store**

Here is a sample of the callback in laravel.

For easy handling of the received data, we use `Mxgel\MPesa\Responses\LNMOCallbackResponse` class. This strips away unnecessary data and just give us the juice.

```
// Assuming u have an Express model, u can have this.

Log::debug('LNMO Data', $this->request->all());
$resp = new LNMOCallbackResponse($this->request->get('Body'));
Express::whereMerchantRequestId($resp->getMerchantRequestID())
    ->whereCheckoutRequestId($resp->getCheckoutRequestID())
    ->whereConfirmed(false)                 // Ensure it's yet to be updated
    ->update([
        'receipt_number' => $resp->getMpesaReceiptNumber(),
        'confirmed'      => $resp->completed(),
    ]);
```

Sometimes you might want to write a cron job to update un-confirmed transactions. Luckily, we can use the status check api, and it's a breeze. Use `Mxgel\MPesa\Requests\LNMQ` class like so

```
$request = new LNMQ([
    'businessShortCode' => $business_short_code,
    'checkoutRequestID' => $checkout_request_id,
    'passKey'           => config('LNMO_passkey'),
]);

// Remember our auth object? Yes, we need it.
$resp = $request->execute($this->getAuth());
Log::info("Execute status with data: ", $request->toArray());
Log::info("Executed status check with response", $resp->toArray());
if ($resp->completed()) {
    // Your code here...
}
```

At this point, your STK should be fine.
