Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require cca-bheath/laravel-sms-clicksend

Add the service provider to config/app.php:

...
'providers' => [
    ...
    NotificationChannels\ClickSend\ClickSendServiceProvider::class,
],
...

Publish the clicksend config file config/clicksend.php:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="NotificationChannels\ClickSend\ClickSendServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Usage

Use ClickSendChannel in via() method inside your notification classes. Example:

namespace App\Notifications;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use NotificationChannels\ClickSend\ClickSendMessage;
use NotificationChannels\ClickSend\ClickSendChannel;

class ClickSendTest extends Notification
{

    public $token;

    /**
     * Create a notification instance.
     *
     * @param string $token
     */
    public function __construct($token)
    {
        $this->token = $token;
    }
    
    /**
     * Required
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [ClickSendChannel::class];
    }

    /**
     * Required
     */
    public function getMessage($notifiable)
    {  	
       	return "SMS test to user #{$notifiable->id} with token {$this->token} by ClickSend";
    }
    
    /**
     * Optional
     */
    public function updateClickSendMessage($message)
    {
        $message->setFrom('+15555555555');

        return $message;
    }
}

In notifiable model (User), include method routeNotificationForClickSend() that returns recipient mobile number:

...
public function routeNotificationForClickSend()
{
    return $this->phone;
}
...

Optional

If you want to use a custom notification route instead:

Notification::route('notification_for_click_send', '+15555555555')
              ->notify(new ClickSendTest());

From controller then send notification standard way:

$user = User::find(1);

try {
	$user->notify(new ClickSendTest('ABC123'));
}
catch (\Exception $e) {
	// do something when error
	return $e->getMessage();
}

Events

Following events are triggered by Notification. By default:

• Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationSending
• Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationSent

and this channel triggers one when submission fails for any reason:

• Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationFailed

To listen to those events create listener classes in app/Listeners folder e.g. to log failed SMS:

namespace App\Listeners;
	
use Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationFailed;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use NotificationChannels\ClickSend\ClickSendChannel;
	
class NotificationFailedListener
{
    /**
     * Create the event listener.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Notification failed event handler
     *
     * @param  NotificationFailed  $event
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(NotificationFailed $event)
    {
        // Handle fail event for ClickSend
        //
        if($event->channel == ClickSendChannel::class) {
	
            echo 'failed'; dump($event);
            
            $logData = [
            	'notifiable'    => $event->notifiable->id,
            	'notification'  => get_class($event->notification),
            	'channel'       => $event->channel,
            	'data'      => $event->data
            	];
            	
            Log::error('Notification Failed', $logData);
         }
         // ... handle other channels ...
    }
}

Then register listeners in app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php

...
protected $listen = [

	'Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationFailed' => [
		'App\Listeners\NotificationFailedListener',
	],

	'Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationSent' => [
		'App\Listeners\NotificationSentListener',
	],

	'Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationSending' => [
		'App\Listeners\NotificationSendingListener',
	],
];
...

API Client

To access the rest of ClickSend API you can get client from ClickSendApi:

$client = app(ClickSendApi::class)->getClient();
	
// then get for eaxample yor ClickSend account details:
$account =  $client->getAccount()->getAccount();
	
// or list of countries:
$countries =  $client->getCountries()->getCountries();
