Installation

Step 1

You can install the package via composer:

composer require djunehor/laravel-vtu

Laravel 5.5 and above

The package will automatically register itself, so you can start using it immediately.

Laravel 5.4 and older

In Laravel version 5.4 and older, you have to add the service provider in config/app.php file manually:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Djunehor\Vtu\VtuServiceProvider::class,
];

Lumen

After installing the package, you will have to register it in bootstrap/app.php file manually:

// Register Service Providers
    // ...
    $app->register(Djunehor\Vtu\VtuServiceProvider::class);
];

Env Keys

VOICE_AND_TEXT_TOKEN
VOICE_AND_TEXT_CALLBACK

UNIK_MOBILE_USERNAME

Step 2 - Publishing files

Run: php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-vtu This will move the migration file, seeder file and config file to your app. You can set your sms details in the config file or via env

Step 3 - Adding SMS credentials

• Add the env keys to your .env file
• Or edit the config/laravel-vtu.php file

Usage

//using VoiceAndText
use Djunehor\Vtu\Concrete\VoiceAndText;

$vtu = new VoiceAndText();
$amount = 100;
$mobileNumber = '08149659347';
$mobileNetwork = '01';
$callBackUrl = 'http://www.your-website.com';
$send = $vtu->buyAirtime($amount, $mobileNumber, $mobileNetwork, $callBackUrl);

Using Helper function

//VoiceAndtext
$send = buy_airtime($amount, $mobileNumber, $mobileNetwork, $callBackUrl, $token = 121231112, \Djunehor\Vtu\Concrete\VoiceAndText::class);

The default VTU provider is VoiceAndText. You can set the default SMS provider in config/laravel-vtu.php e.g 'default' => \Djunehor\Vtu\Concrete\VoiceAndText::class,, so you can use the helper function like this:

$send = buy_airtime($amount, $mobileNumber, $mobileNetwork);
//$token, $callbackUrl and $class are optional and better set in the config
