Complete Plivo driver for Laravel

Plivo Complete

Plivo Complete is a simple Laravel 5 driver for the Plivo PHP library, _(*1)

Installation

Step 1

Install via composer, _(*2)

Method 1: via CLI (recommended)

$ composer require davidvarney/plivo-complete:1.0.0

Method 2: via composer.json

"require": {
    ...
    "davidvarney/plivo-complete": "1.0.0",
},

Step 2

Laravel Service Provider

In the config/app.php file and within the 'providers' => [ array place the following towards the end of the array, _(*3)

'providers' => [
    ...
    DavidVarney\Plivo\PlivoServiceProvider::class,
],

Laravel Alias

In the same config/app.php file and within the 'aliases' => [ array place the following towards the end of the array, _(*4)

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Plivo' => DavidVarney\Plivo\Plivo::class,
],

Step 3

You don't have to run the dump-autoload command but I usually do just for good measure., _(*5)

$ composer dump-autoload
$ composer update

Step 4

Next we're going to create the necessary config file so that we can insert our Auth ID and Auth Token from our Plivo account, _(*6)

$ php artisan vendor:publish

After publishing the config file make your way to the config directory and look for the following file: config/plivo.php, _(*7)

You should see that the config file is looking for two environment variables. You have two options., _(*8)

Option #1

Place the auth_token and auth_id within the env() function like so:, _(*9)

return [
    'auth_token' => env('PLIVO_AUTH_TOKEN', TOKEN_HERE),
    'auth_id'    => env('PLIVO_AUTH_ID', ID_HERE)
];

Option #2 (recommended)

You can simply leave the config file alone and place the 'PLIVO_AUTH_TOKEN' and 'PLIVO_AUTH_ID' inside of the .env file., _(*10)

...
PLIVO_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN_HERE
PLIVO_AUTH_ID=YOUR_AUTH_ID_HERE

Usage

Now you should be able to simply use it within a Controller like so, _(*11)

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\YourController;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use Plivo;

class YourController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $plivo = new Plivo;
        return view('myview.index', array(
            'plivo' => $plivo
        ));
    }
}

Then your view would look something like this:, _(*12)

@extends('layouts.frontend.app')

@section('content')
    {!! dd($plivo->get_account()) !!}
@endsection

You can use any RestAPI method that is available in the Plivo RestAPI PHP library, _(*13)
