It ensures that the phone number is valid by sending a short code via SMS to the number during registration.

Twilio Verify assumes your MustVerifyPhone trait will be the App\User class that ships with Laravel. If you wish to change this you can specify a different model in your .env file:

TWILIO_VERIFY_MODEL=App\User

Usage

Add the MustVerifyPhone trait to your model definition. This trait provides various methods to allow you to send verification phone code.

use IvanSotelo\TwilioVerify\Traits\MustVerifyPhone;
use IvanSotelo\TwilioVerify\Contracts\MustVerifyPhoneContract;

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyPhoneContract
{
    use MustVerifyPhone, Notifiable;

    /**
     * Route notifications for the Twilio channel.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Notifications\Notification  $notification
     * @return string
     */
    public function routeNotificationForTwilio()
    {
        return $this->phone_number;
    }

}

On EventServiceProvider attach SendPhoneVerificationNotification to the Illuminate\Auth\Events\Registered event:

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;
use Illuminate\Auth\Events\Verified;
use Illuminate\Auth\Events\Registered;
use IvanSotelo\TwilioVerify\Listeners\SendPhoneVerificationNotification;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\EventServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;

class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * The event listener mappings for the application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $listen = [
        Registered::class => [
            SendPhoneVerificationNotification::class,
        ],
        Verified::class => [
            // You can attach some listener
        ],
    ];
}

To register the default middleware add the following lines to the $routeMiddleware array within the app/Http/Kernel.php file:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // …
    'isVerified' => \IvanSotelo\TwilioVerify\Http\Middleware\EnsurePhoneIsVerified::class,

Apply the middleware on your routes:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['isVerified']], function () {
    // …

By default this packages ships with two routes.

Route::get('phone/verify/{code}', 'VerificationController@verify')->name('verification.verify');
Route::post('phone/resend', 'VerificationController@resend')->name('verification.resend');

To customize the translations you may publish the files to your resources/lang/vendor folder using the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="IvanSotelo\TwilioVerify\TwilioVerifyServiceProvider" --tag="translations"
