🚀 Quick Start

Using the Facade:

use Digiworld\DigiChat\Facades\DigiChat;

$response = DigiChat::sendMessage('963XXXXXXXX', 'Hello from DigiChat');

Using the Manager directly:

use Digiworld\DigiChat\DigiChatManager;

Route::get('/digichat/test', function (DigiChatManager $digichat) {
    return $digichat->sendMessage('963XXXXXXXX', 'Hello from DigiChat');
});

🔀 Multi Session

The package config acts as the default session.

If you need multiple DigiChat sessions in the same Laravel project, use either the facade session() helper or create a manager with credentials directly.

Using the Facade session helper:

use Digiworld\DigiChat\Facades\DigiChat;

$sessionA = DigiChat::session('token-a', 'secret-a');
$sessionB = DigiChat::session('token-b', 'secret-b');

$sessionA->sendText('[e-mail]', 'Message from session A');
$sessionB->sendText('[e-mail]', 'Message from session B');

Using the Manager constructor:

use Digiworld\DigiChat\DigiChatManager;

$client = new DigiChatManager('token-a', 'secret-a');

$client->sendText('[e-mail]', 'Message from custom client');

Using the Laravel container with runtime credentials:

$client = app(\Digiworld\DigiChat\DigiChatManager::class, [
    'token' => 'token-a',
    'secret' => 'secret-a',
]);

If token or secret is null, the package falls back to the values from config/digichat.php.

💬 Chat ID Formats
