Installation

You can install this package via composer:

composer require laravel-notification-channels/interfax

The service provider gets loaded automatically.

Setting up the InterFAX service

This channel will use your InterFAX username and password. To use the channel, add this to your config/services.php file:

...
'interfax' => [
    'username' => env('INTERFAX_USERNAME'),
    'password' => env('INTERFAX_PASSWORD'),
    'pci'      => env('INTERFAX_PCI', false),
],
...

This will load your InterFAX credentials from the .env file. If your requests must be PCI-DSS-compliant, set INTERFAX_PCI=true in your .env file.

Usage

To use this package, you can create a notification class, like DocumentWasSent from the example below, in your Laravel application. Make sure to check out Laravel's documentation for this process.

Send PDF via fax

<?php
use NotificationChannels\Interfax\InterfaxChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Interfax\InterfaxMessage;

class DocumentWasSent extends Notification
{

    protected $files;

    public function __construct(array $files)
    {
        $this->files = $files;
    }

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [InterfaxChannel::class];
    }

    public function toInterfax($notifiable)
    {
        return (new InterfaxMessage)
              ->files($this->files);
    }
}

The Notifiable model will need to return a destination fax number.

public function routeNotificationForInterfax($notification)
{
    if($this->fax)
        return preg_replace('/[^\d]/', '', $this->fax);

    return null;
}

Available Message methods

file(string $file) : Accepts the full path to a single file (full list of supported file types found here).
files(array $array) : Accepts an array of file paths.
stream(Filestream $stream, string $name) : Accepts a file stream.
