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 

Important 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"

If you're using Laravel 5.5 or above, the package will automatically register the Nexmo provider and facade.

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 message.'
]);

//or

$nexmo = app('Nexmo\Client');
$nexmo->message()->send([
    'to' => '14845551244',
    'from' => '16105552344',
    'text' => 'Using the instance to send a message.'
]);
