Usage

To use this channel simply create a notification that has the following content:

use NotificationChannels\FortySixElks\FortySixElksChannel;
use NotificationChannels\FortySixElks\FortySixElksSMS;

public function via($notifiable)
{
    return [FortySixElksChannel::class];
}


public function to46Elks($notifiable)
{
    return (new FortySixElksSMS())
        ->line('Testsms')
        ->line('Olle')
        ->to('+46701234567')
        ->from('Emil')
        // ->flash() - Optional
        // ->whenDelivered(URL) - Optional
        // ->dontLog() - Optional
        // ->dry() - Optional
}

Another example without the notification implementation.

use NotificationChannels\FortySixElks\FortySixElksSMS;

(new FortySixElksSMS())
    ->line('Testsms')
    ->line('Olle')
    ->to('+46701234567')
    ->from('Emil')
    // ->flash() - Optional
    // ->whenDelivered(URL) - Optional
    // ->dontLog() - Optional
    // ->dry() - Optional
    ->send();

Error handling

How to handle notification send errors

If for any reason there would be an error when sending a notification it will fire a Illuminate\Notifications\Events\NotificationFailed event. You can then listen for that.

Example:

Event::listen(NotificationFailed::class, function($event){
    info('Error while sending sms');
});

And the event has $event->notifiable, $event->notification, $event->channel and $event->data(where you have the exception at $event->data['exception'])
