Laravel Beem

Effortless Beem integrations with Laravel

This package provides a simple and crisp way to access the Beem API endpoints. Sending notifications sms the laravel way.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require tomsgad/laravel-beem

After the package is installed, you can optionally publish the config file.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="beem-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'sms' => [
        /*
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        | Beem SMS API Key
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        |
        | Here we set sms api key that will be used to send the sms. Get your
        | credentials from https://sms.beem.africa/#!/dashboard/profile/authentication
        |
        */
        'api_key' => env('BEEM_SMS_API_KEY', ''),

        /*
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        | Beem SMS Secret Key
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        |
        | Here we set sms secret key that will be used to send the sms. Get your
        | credentials from https://sms.beem.africa/#!/dashboard/profile/authentication
        |
        */
        'secret_key' => env('BEEM_SMS_SECRET_KEY', ''),

        /*
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        | Beem SMS Sender Name
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        |
        | Here we set a sender name that will be used to send the sms. Default
        | sender name is `INFO`. Please only use sender names that have been registered
        | or the sms will not be sent.
        |
        */

        'sender_name' => env('BEEM_SMS_SENDER_NAME', ''),
    ]
];

Setting up Beem service

You will need to get your api details from your profile. Here are the steps you can follow (Described by Beem):

Create a free account on https://login.beem.africa.
On completing your registration you will get a confirmation email. Click on the link or paste the link into your browser to validate the account.
Log into your account with your username & password on https://login.beem.africa.
You should have received some free test credits and a default sender ID of ‘INFO’ should be Active.
Visit the 'Profile ' tab and click on ‘Authentication Information’.
Click generate API Key and Secret to obtain these. Note that the Secret is only displayed once, so please store this safely.
Use this API Key and Secret to start sending messages using the API defined below.

Set up your .env file with the credentials you go from the procedure above

BEEM_SMS_API_KEY=""
BEEM_SMS_SECRET_KEY=""
BEEM_SMS_SENDER_NAME=""

Add routeNotificationForBeem to your notifiable model and define how to get phone number. Note: The method should return an array or a countable. I have let it that way so you can implement it the way you see fit.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use  Notifiable;

    public function routeNotificationForBeem()
    {
        return array($this->phone);
    }
}

Usage

Now you can use the channel in your (via) method inside the notification. This example will work with settings from .env file.

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Tomsgad\Beem\SMS\BeemMessage;

class Demo extends Notification
{
    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['beem'];
    }

    public function toBeem($notifiable)
    {
        return (new BeemMessage())
            ->content('Message Goes Here');
    }
}

You can also send a notification on the fly without setting the .env variables. This is useful if you set the details dynamically or you have a multi-tenant application.

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
use Tomsgad\Beem\SMS\BeemMessage;

class Demo extends Notification
{
    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['beem'];
    }

    public function toBeem($notifiable)
    {
        return (new BeemMessage())
            ->content('Message Goes Here')
            ->sender('senderNameGoesHere')
            ->secretKey('secretKeyGoesHere')
            ->apiKey('apiKeyGoesHere');
    }
}
