Laravel Ussd

Build Ussd (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) applications with laravel without breaking a sweat.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require sparors/laravel-ussd:^2.0

Laravel Ussd provides zero configuration out of the box. To publish the config, run the vendor publish command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Sparors\Ussd\UssdServiceProvider" --tag=ussd-config

Usage

Creating States

We provide a ussd artisan command which allows you to quickly create new states.

php artisan ussd:state Welcome

Creating Nested States

Linux/Unix

php artisan ussd:state Airtime/Welcome

Windows

php artisan ussd:state Airtime\Welcome

Welcome state class generated

<?php

namespace App\Http\Ussd\States;

use Sparors\Ussd\State;

class Welcome extends State
{
    protected function beforeRendering(): void
    {
       //
    }

    protected function afterRendering(string $argument): void
    {
        //
    }
}

Creating Actions

Available from v2.0.0

We provide a ussd artisan command which allows you to quickly create new actions.

php artisan ussd:action MakePayment

MakePayment action class generated

<?php

namespace App\Http\Ussd\Actions;

use Sparors\Ussd\Action;

class MakePayment extends Action
{
    public function run(): string
    {
        return ''; // The state after this
    }
}

Run your logic and return the next state's fully qualified class name

<?php

namespace App\Http\Ussd\Actions;

use Sparors\Ussd\Action;
use App\Http\Ussd\States\PaymentSuccess;
use App\Http\Ussd\States\PaymentError;

class MakePayment extends Action
{
    public function run(): string
    {
        $response = Http::post('/payment', [
            'phone_number' => $this->record->phoneNumber
        ]);

        if ($response->ok()) {
            return PaymentSuccess::class;
        }

        return PaymentError::class;
    }
}

Creating Menus

Add your menu to the beforeRendering method

<?php

namespace App\Http\Ussd\States;

use Sparors\Ussd\State;

class Welcome extends State
{
    protected function beforeRendering(): void
    {
        $name = $this->record->name;

        $this->menu->text('Welcome To Laravel USSD')
            ->lineBreak(2)
            ->line('Select an option')
            ->listing([
                'Airtime Topup',
                'Data Bundle',
                'TV Subscription',
                'ECG/GWCL',
                'Talk To Us'
            ])
            ->lineBreak(2)
            ->text('Powered by Sparors');
    }

    protected function afterRendering(string $argument): void
    {
        //
    }
}

Linking States with Decisions

Add your decision to the afterRendering method and link them with states

<?php

namespace App\Http\Ussd\States;

use App\Http\Ussd\States\GetRecipientNumber;
use App\Http\Ussd\States\MaintenanceMode;
use App\Http\Ussd\States\Error;
use Sparors\Ussd\State;

class Welcome extends State
{
    protected function beforeRendering(): void
    {
       $this->menu->text('Welcome To Laravel Ussd')
            ->lineBreak(2)
            ->line('Select an option')
            ->listing([
                'Airtime Topup',
                'Data Bundle',
                'TV Subscription',
                'ECG/GWCL',
                'Talk To Us'
            ])
            ->lineBreak(2)
            ->text('Powered by Sparors');
    }

    protected function afterRendering(string $argument): void
    {
        // If input is equal to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, render the appropriate state
        $this->decision->equal('1', GetRecipientNumber::class)
                       ->between(2, 5, MaintenanceMode::class)
                       ->any(Error::class);
    }
}

Setting Initial State

Import the welcome state class and pass it to the setInitialState method

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Sparors\Ussd\Facades\Ussd;
use App\Http\Ussd\States\Welcome;

class UssdController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $ussd = Ussd::machine()
            ->setFromRequest([
                'network',
                'phone_number' => 'msisdn',
                'sessionId' => 'UserSessionID',
                'input' => 'msg'
            ])
          ->setInitialState(Welcome::class)
          ->setResponse(function (string $message, string $action) {
                return [
                    'USSDResp' => [
                        'action' => $action,
                        'menus' => '',
                        'title' => $message
                    ]
                ];
            });

        return response()->json($ussd->run());
    }
}

Simplifying machine with configurator

Available from v2.5.0

You can use configurator to simplify repetitive parts of your application so they can be shared easily. Just implement and Sparors\Ussd\Contracts\Configurator interface and use it in your machine.

<?php

use Sparors\Ussd\Contracts\Configurator;

// Creating a configurator in eg. App\Http\Ussd\Configurators\Nsano.php
class Nsano implements Configurator
{
    public function configure(Machine $machine): void
    {
        $machine->setFromRequest([
                'network',
                'phone_number' => 'msisdn',
                'sessionId' => 'UserSessionID',
                'input' => 'msg'
        ])->setResponse(function (string $message, string $action) {
            return [
                'USSDResp' => [
                    'action' => $action,
                    'menus' => '',
                    'title' => $message
                ]
            ];
        });
    }
}
?>

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Sparors\Ussd\Facades\Ussd;
use App\Http\Ussd\States\Welcome;
use App\Http\Ussd\Configurators\Nsano'

// Using it in a controller
class UssdController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $ussd = Ussd::machine()
            ->useConfigurator(Nsano::class)
            ->setInitialState(Welcome::class);

        return response()->json($ussd->run());
    }
}
?>

Running the application

You can use the development server the ships with Laravel by running, from the project root:

php artisan serve

You can visit http://localhost:8000 to see the application in action.
