Installation

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require wilsonglasser/laravel-chatapi-whatsapp
```

You must install the service provider:

```
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    NotificationChannels\ChatAPI\ChatAPIServiceProvider::class,
],
```

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

[](#configuration)

Configure your credentials:

```
// config/services.php
...
'chatapi' => [
    'token'          => env('CHATAPI_TOKEN', ''),
    'api_url'       => env('CHATAPI_URL', ''),
],
...
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can now use the channel in your `via()` method inside the Notification class.

```
use NotificationChannels\ChatAPI\ChatAPIChannel;
use NotificationChannels\ChatAPI\ChatAPIMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class InvoicePaid extends Notification
{
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [ChatAPIChannel::class];
    }

    public function toChatAPI($notifiable)
    {
        return ChatAPIMessage::create()
            ->to($notifiable->phone) // your user phone
            ->file('/path/to/file','My Photo.jpg')
            ->content('Your invoice has been paid');
    }
}
```

### Routing a message

[](#routing-a-message)

You can either send the notification by providing with the chat id of the recipient to the to($phone) method like shown in the above example or add a routeNotificationForChatAPI() method in your notifiable model:

```
...
/**
 * Route notifications for the Telegram channel.
 *
 * @return int
 */
public function routeNotificationForChatAPI()
{
    return $this->phone;
}
...
```

### Available Message methods

- `to($phone)`: (integer) Recipient's phone.
- `content('message')`: (string) Message.
- `file('/path/to/file','My Photo.jpg')`: (string) File real path, you can also send the file contents and pass two additional params for file name and file mime type (required)
- `file('/path/to/file','My Photo.jpg','image/jpg')`
