Semaphore PHP

This is a PHP client for the Semaphore SMS service provider with out of the box Laravel integration.

Installation

Install via composer:

composer require humans/semaphore-sms

To start using the library, we'll have to provide the Sempahore API key.

Send a message

$client = new Client(

  '<SEMAPHORE API KEY>',

  // If the sender is left blank, SEMAPHORE will be the default sender name.
  '<SENDER>',

);

$client->message()->send('0917xxxxxxx', '<Your message here>');

Laravel Integration

If you're using Laravel, we have some conveniences set up for you. First off, you can set your API key and sender name in your .env file.

SEMAPHORE_API_KEY=xxxxxxxx
SEMAPHORE_SENDER_NAME=xxxxxxxx

If you have package discovery disabled, make sure to register the Humans\Semaphore\Laravel\ServiceProvider in your app.php.

Send a message

You can use the Semaphore facade provided by the package.

use Humans\Semaphore\Laravel\Facades\Semaphore;

Semaphore::message()->send(
    '0917xxxxxxx',
    '<Your message here>'
);

Using Notifications

If you want to use Laravel's Notification features, this package provides a SemaphoreChannel and SemaphoreMessage class.

Configure your Notifiable

In your notifiable class, add a routeNotificationForSempahore method and use the database column that holds the mobile number.

class User {
    use Notifiable;

    // ...

    public function routeNotificationForSemaphore()
    {
        return $this->mobile_number;
    }
}

Using Notifications

use Humans\Semaphore\Laravel\Contracts\UsesSemaphore;

class Welcome extends Notification implements UsesSemaphore
{
    public function via($notifiable): array
    {
        return [SemaphoreChannel::class];
    }

    public function toSemaphore($notifiable): SemaphoreMessage
    {
        return (new SemaphoreMessage)
            ->message('<Your message here>');
    }
}

User::first()->notify(new Welcome);

Using on-demand Notifiables

In the case where you need to send a message but you don't need a model, this package also supports Laravel's on-demand notifications.

use Humans\Semaphore\Laravel\SemaphoreChannel;use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;

Notification::route(SemaphoreChannel::class, '0917xxxxxxx')->notify(new Welcome);
