Handling Exceptions

<?php

namespace App\Exceptions;

use Exception;
use Lakshmaji\Twilio\Exception\TwilioException;


/**
 * Twilio - A Simple Exception handler class to Catch
 * Exceptions thrown by TwilioException class 
 *
 * @author   lakshmaji 
 */
class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
 
    //....
    //.................
    //....
    
     /**
     * Render an exception into an HTTP response.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Exception  $e
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function render($request, Exception $e)
    {
        if($e instanceof TwilioException)
        {
            return response()->json(array('message'=>$e->getMessage(),'status' =>$e->getStatusCode()),500);
        }
        return parent::render($request, $e);
    }
}

In laravel we can easily handle the errors by using Handler.php (You can use custom Exception Handlr too)

TWILIO TRAIL ACCOUNT USAGE:

  • If You are trying to implement SMS functionality with Twilio the you need to verify the list of destination mobile numbers at Twilio VERIFIED NUMBERS
  • Before sending MESSAGE make sure that you have enabled GEO-PERMISSIONS at Twilio GEO PERMISSIONS
