use Wingly\PhoneVerification\VerifiesPhoneNumber;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use VerifiesPhoneNumber;
}

Usage

Sending PIN codes

To send a PIN code to a phone number you can use the sendPhoneVerificationCode method. The method will call Vonage and initialize a verification workflow. You can optionally pass any options that you want to override.

$user = User::find(1);

$user->sendPhoneVerificationCode(['code_length' => 6]);

Checking PIN codes

When the user receives the PIN and enters it into your application you can verify the validity of the code by using the checkPhoneVerificationCode method.

$user = User::find(1);

$user->checkPhoneVerificationCode($code); // true/false

You can check if a user has a verified number by using the hasVerifiedPhoneNumber method.

$user = User::find(1);

$user->hasVerifiedPhoneNumber(); // true/false
