This is a simple Laravel Service Provider providing access to the Nexmo PHP Client Library.
To install the PHP client library using Composer:
composer require nexmo/laravel
Importaint note: While the client library is in beta
, requiring nexmo/client
specifically avoids changing the
minimum-stability
in your composer.json
.
Alternatively, add these two lines to your composer require section:
"nexmo/laravel": "0.4.0"
Then add Nexmo\Laravel\NexmoServiceProvider
to the providers
array in your config/app.php
:
Nexmo\Laravel\NexmoServiceProvider::class
If you want to use the facade interface, you can use
the facade class when needed:
use Nexmo\Laravel\Facade\Nexmo;
Or add an alias in your config/app.php
:
'Nexmo' => \Nexmo\Laravel\Facade\Nexmo::class
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/nexmo.php
with your credentials. You can also update your .env
file with the following:
NEXMO_KEY = my_api_key
NEXMO_SECRET = my_secret
To use the Nexmo Client Library you can use the facade, or request the instance from the service container:
Nexmo::message()->send([
'to' => '14845551244',
'from' => '16105552344',
'text' => 'Using the facade to send a mesage.'
]);
//or
$nexmo = app('Nexmo\Client');
$nexmo->message()->send([
'to' => '14845551244',
'from' => '16105552344',
'text' => 'Using the instance to send a message.'
]);
