Laravel SMS

A Laravel package to send transactional SMS messages through supported SMS gateways. Built with simplicity and robustness in mind.

🚀 Features

• Simple API to send SMS via Facade or dependency injection
• API-based architecture — works with any SMS gateway
• Template variable substitution ({{ name }} placeholders)
• Configurable query parameters, number field, and message field
• Disable SMS in non-production environments via config
• Laravel-native configuration, logging, and service provider
• PHP 8.1+ with Guzzle HTTP client

📦 Installation

composer require renderbit/laravel-sms

Laravel auto-discovers the service provider. No manual registration needed.

🛠 Configuration

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Renderbit\Sms\SmsServiceProvider" --tag=config

This will publish config/sms.php. Example contents:

return [
    'enabled' => env('SMS_ENABLED', false),
    'url' => env('SMS_API_URL', 'http://182.18.143.11/api/mt/SendSMS?'),
    'query_params' => [
        'user' => env('SMS_USER'),
        'password' => env('SMS_PASSWORD'),
        'senderid' => env('SMS_SENDER_ID', 'IEMUEM'),
        'channel' => 'trans',
        'DCS' => 0,
        'flashsms' => 0,
        'route' => '1',
    ],
    'number_field' => env('SMS_NUMBER_FIELD', 'number'),
    'message_field' => env('SMS_MESSAGE_FIELD', 'text'),
];

Update your .env file:

SMS_ENABLED=true
SMS_USER=
SMS_PASSWORD=
SMS_SENDER_ID='IEMUEM'
SMS_API_URL='http://182.18.143.11/api/mt/SendSMS?'
SMS_NUMBER_FIELD='number'
SMS_MESSAGE_FIELD='text'

Note: SMS sending is disabled by default. Set SMS_ENABLED=true in your .env or sms.enabled in config to enable it.

✉️ Usage

Send an SMS using the Facade or SmsClient:

Using Facade

use Sms;

Sms::send('+919999999999', 'Hello, your OTP is 123456');

Using Dependency Injection

use Renderbit\Sms\SmsClient;

class NotificationService
{
    public function __construct(protected SmsClient $sms) {}

    public function notify(string $phone, string $message): bool
    {
        return $this->sms->send($phone, $message);
    }
}

Template Variables

You can pass replacement values in a third parameter:

Sms::send('+919999999999', 'Hello {{ name }}, your code is {{ code }}', [
    'name' => 'John',
    'code' => 'ABC123',
]);
// Sends: "Hello John, your code is ABC123"

✅ Return Value

The send method returns true on success (or when SMS is disabled) and false on failure:

if (! Sms::send($phone, $message)) {
    // Log failure or retry
}

Errors are logged automatically via Laravel's logger.

🧪 Testing

Run the package's test suite:

vendor/bin/phpunit

The suite covers unit tests (SmsClient, SmsServiceProvider, Facade) and feature tests (integration through the Laravel container), 22 tests with 51 assertions.

To control SMS behavior in your own tests:

// Disable SMS in tests (sending is logged, not actually sent)
config(['sms.enabled' => false]);
