Installation

First require in Composer:

composer require campaigningbureau/whatsatool-client

Add the Service Provider in your config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    ...
    CampaigningBureau\WhatsAToolClient\WhatsAToolClientProvider::class,
]

You can also add the Facade there:

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'WhatsAToolClient' =>  CampaigningBureau\WhatsAToolClient\WhatsAToolClientFacade::class,
]

Publish the config settings:

$ php artisan vendor:publish

Configuration

After publishing the config file you can edit them in config/whatsatool.php.

Make sure you configure at least username and password.

The default_country_code is used to create the correct MSISDN when a phonenumber with local country code is given (e.g. 0664/1234567)

Usage

Validation

To validate a given number:

$phonenumber = '+43 664 123 456 87';
CampaigningBureau\WhatsAToolClient\Msisdn::validatePhonenumber($phonenumber);

The Validation cleans the phonenumber, that means removes all non-numeric characters and leading 00 and checks if:

1. The cleaned phonenumber is not empty
2. The length is shorter or equal to 15 characters (funny fact: there is no official minimum lengt restriction)
3. The phonenumber starts with a valid Country Code, which is either 0 for local or a country code that can be found in this list.

Register Contact

To register a new Contact:

$phonenumber = '+43 664 123 456 87';
$msisdn = new Msisdn($phonenumber);
try {
    $simMsisdn = WhatsATool::registerContact($msisdn, $channel, $sendSms);
} catch (WhatsAToolException $exception) {
    Log::error($exception->getMessage());
}

This returns the msisdn of the Sim the number is registered to or throws a WhatsAToolException with the error message of the WhatsATool-API.

Development
