Malath SMS Package

The package focuses on a narrow but useful problem: make Malath SMS sending available through a simple Laravel-facing API. Instead of wiring the provider URL, credentials, sender name, and request logic into every project, the package gives the application one reusable integration surface.

The package reads MALATH_SMS_USERNAME, MALATH_SMS_PASSWORD, and MALATH_SMS_SENDER through a publishable malathsms.php config file. The service provider merges the config, exposes it for publishing, and loads the included migration.

MalathSMS::sendOneSide(...) sends a message to a receiver number through the Malath HTTP endpoint, while MalathSMS::getBalance() calls the balance endpoint and returns the available SMS balance. The API is intentionally small because the integration itself is small.

The package includes an sms_histories migration and an SmsHistory Eloquent model. Each send stores the provider name, receiver phone, sender ID, message body, and status response so the host application can keep an operational trail.

This was one of my early package-building projects, and it shows the practical Laravel habits I was developing: Composer metadata, PSR-4 namespaces, service-provider registration, publishable configuration, migrations, Eloquent models, and external API calls kept behind a reusable class.
