textlocal.in

Using Textlocal offical PHP Class, this package makes it easy sending SMS notifications in Laravel

Requirements

• Sign up for a free Textlocal account
• Create a new API Key in the settings section

Installation

You can install the package via composer

composer require avinashmphp/textlocal

step: 1

Add ServiceProvider to the providers array in your config/app.php

Avinashmphp\Textlocal\TextlocalServiceProvider::class,

step: 2

To copy the distribution configuration file to your app's config directory config/textlocal.php

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=textlocal

step: 3

Then update config/textlocal.php with your credentials. Alternatively, you can update your .env file with the following

TEXTLOCAL_KEY=""
TEXTLOCAL_SENDER=""

step: 4

Now you can use the channel in your via() method inside the notification:

use Avinashmphp\Textlocal\TextlocalChannel;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

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

    public function toTextlocal($notifiable)
    {
        return "Your {$notifiable->service} account was approved!"
    }
}

step: 5

In order to let your Notification know which phone are you sending to, the channel will look for the phone_number attribute of the Notifiable model. If you want to override this behaviour, add the routeNotificationForTextlocal method to your Notifiable model.

public function routeNotificationForTextlocal()
{
    return $this->mobile; // where 'mobile' is a field in users table;
}
