In this example, I will give you a very simple example of sending SMS using nexmo/vonage API in laravel app. you can easily use this code in laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8 and laravel 9 app.

You have just to follow the below step and you will get the layout as below:

Step 1: Install Laravel

first of all we need to get a fresh Laravel version application using the bellow command, So open your terminal OR command prompt and run the bellow command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2: Create Nexmo Account

First you need to create an account on nexmo. then you can easily get the client id and secret.

Create Account from here: https://dashboard.nexmo.com/sign-in.

you can register and get the client id and secret as below:

Step 3: Install nexmo/client Package

In this step, we need to install nexmo/client composer package to use nexmo API. so let's run below command:

composer require nexmo/client

Step 4: Create Route

now we will create one route for calling our example, so let's add a new route to the web.php file as below:

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\NexmoSMSController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('sendSMS', [NexmoSMSController::class, 'index']);

Step 5: Create Controller

in this step, we will create NexmoSMSController and write send SMS logic, so let's add a new route to the web.php file as below:

app/Http/Controllers/NexmoSMSController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
   
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Exception;
  
class NexmoSMSController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        try {
  
            $basic  = new \Nexmo\Client\Credentials\Basic(getenv("NEXMO_KEY"), getenv("NEXMO_SECRET"));
            $client = new \Nexmo\Client($basic);
  
            $receiverNumber = "91846XXXXX";
            $message = "This is testing from NiceSnippets.com";
  
            $message = $client->message()->send([
                'to' => $receiverNumber,
                'from' => 'Vonage APIs',
                'text' => $message
            ]);
  
            dd('SMS Sent Successfully.');
              
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            dd("Error: ". $e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Now you can run and check.

I hope it can help you...
