Introducing Lara SMS – A Flexible Laravel SMS Gateway Package
I’m excited to introduce my new Laravel package, Lara SMS, designed to make SMS integration in Laravel projects easier, cleaner, and more flexible.
💡 Why Lara SMS?
Integrating SMS gateways can often be repetitive and inconsistent across projects.
Lara SMS provides a unified and expressive API that allows you to send messages through multiple gateways, all while keeping your codebase elegant and maintainable.
⚙️ Key Features
✅ Multi-provider support
Built using the Strategy Pattern, allowing seamless integration with multiple SMS gateways.
✅ Fluent Builder
Provides a clean and expressive syntax for message construction using a chainable, fluent interface.
✅ Fallback Strategies
Choose between “Try All” or “Fail Fast” approaches when handling failed gateway attempts.
✅ Automatic Retries
Automatically retries sending messages on temporary failures to ensure reliability.
✅ Comprehensive Logging
Tracks and logs all SMS operations for better monitoring and debugging.
🧩 Installation
Install the package via Composer:
composer require yasser-elgammal/lara-sms
🧠 Behind the Scenes
This project taught me a lot about designing scalable and extendable Laravel packages, particularly around architectural design patterns like Strategy and Builder.
My goal was to create something that’s both powerful and developer-friendly, making SMS workflows in Laravel projects smoother than ever.
