Messente Package for Laravel

Introduction

This is a simple Laravel Service Provider providing access to the Messente API

Installation

To install the PHP client library using Composer:

composer require jcsofts/laravel-messente

Alternatively, add these two lines to your composer require section:

{
    "require": {
        "jcsofts/laravel-messente": "^1.0"
    }
}

Laravel 5.5+

If you're using Laravel 5.5 or above, the package will automatically register the Messente provider and facade.

Laravel 5.4 and below

Add Jcsofts\LaravelMessente\MessenteServiceProvider to the providers array in your config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...

    Jcsofts\LaravelMessente\MessenteServiceProvider::class,
],

If you want to use the facade interface, you can use the facade class when needed:

use Jcsofts\LaravelMessente\Facade\Messente;

Or add an alias in your config/app.php:

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Messente' => Jcsofts\LaravelMessente\Facade\Messente::class,
],

Using Laravel-Messente with Lumen

laravel-messente works with Lumen too! You'll need to do a little work by hand to get it up and running. First, install the package using composer:

composer require jcsofts/laravel-messente

Next, we have to tell Lumen that our library exists. Update bootstrap/app.php and register the MessenteServiceProvider:

$app->register(Jcsofts\LaravelMessente\MessenteServiceProvider::class);

Finally, we need to configure the library. Unfortunately Lumen doesn't support auto-publishing files so you'll have to create the config file yourself by creating a config directory and copying the config file out of the package in to your project:

mkdir config
cp vendor/jcsofts/laravel-messagete/config/messente.php config/messente.php

At this point, set MESSENTE_API_USERNAME and MESSENTE_API_PASSWORD in your .env file and it should be working for you. You can test this with the following route:

try{
        $mid=Messente::send('Hello word', '+8618903859445');
        echo $mid;
    }catch(Exception $e){
        echo $e->getMessage();
    }

Configuration

You can use artisan vendor:publish to copy the distribution configuration file to your app's config directory:

php artisan vendor:publish

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

MESSENTE_API_USERNAME=API Username
MESSENTE_API_PASSWORD=API Password
MESSENTE_SENDER=

Usage

To use the Messente Client Library you can use the facade, or request the instance from the service container:

try{
        $messageId=Messente::send('Hello word', '+8618903859445');
        echo $messageId;
    }catch(Exception $e){
        echo $e->getMessage();
    }

Or

$messente = app('Messente');

$messageId=$messente->send('Hello word', '+8618903859445');
