Environment Dependencies

Create a .env file in your root folder and add 3 variables USR, PWD, and CRT_PATH:

USR=eztexting_user
PWD=eztexting_pa$$word
CRT_PATH=path/to/certificate/cert.pem

Dotenv : The worldwide standard for securing environment variables

Install Dev Dependencies

TypeScript

npm i @types/node eslint ts-node typescript --save-dev

Nodemon (optional)

I personally like to code TypeScript with nodemon

nodemon is a tool that helps develop Node.js based applications by automatically restarting the node application when file changes in the directory are detected.

Install: npm i nodemon --save-dev Script: tsc --project tsconfig.json

Send one message to a single phone number

import { Messages } from 'eztexting-node'
import { Message, ResponseFormat } from 'eztexting-node'

const format: ResponseFormat = 'json';

const singleMessage: Message = {
	PhoneNumbers: '2057404127', 
	Message: 'Single message', 
	StampToSend: '2022-10-10 16:15'
};

new Messages(format).sendMessage(singleMessage, callbackFn)

Send the same message to multiple phone numbers

import { Messages } from 'eztexting-node'
import { Message, ResponseFormat } from 'eztexting-node'

const format: ResponseFormat = 'json';

const bulkMessages: Message = { 
	PhoneNumbers: ['2057404127', '205-740-4177'], 
	Subject: "1", 
	Message: "Bulk message"
};

new Messages(format).sendMessage(bulkMessages, 'callback')

Send individual messages to specific phone numbers in bulk

import { Messages } from 'eztexting-node'
import { Message, ResponseFormat } from 'eztexting-node'

const format: ResponseFormat = 'json';

const Messages = new Messages(format)

const individualMessages: Message[] = [
	{PhoneNumbers: "2057404127", Subject: "1",Message: "Individual message 1"},
	{PhoneNumbers: "205-740-4177", Subject: "2",Message: "Individual message 2"},
	{PhoneNumbers: "(205) 740-4181", Subject: "3",Message: "Individual message 3"}
];

individualMessages.forEach(async (message: Message, i: number) => {

	messages.sendMessage(individualMessages, callback?)
});

Send a generated QR Code as picture to specific phone numbers

Create PNG Buffer with Promise handler

import { QRCodeGenerator, OutputFormat, StyleOptions } from ".";

const qr = new QRCodeGenerator();

qr.generate("png", "Willie")
	 .then((buffer: Buffer) => {var base64 = buffer.toString("base64")})
	 .catch((err: Error) => console.error(err));

Create SVG and save as file

const style: StyleOptions = {"width":300,"height":300,"data":"https://qr-code-styling.com","dotsOptions":{"type":"extra-rounded","color":"#6a1a4c"}}

const qr = new QRCodeGenerator();
qr.generate("svg", '', style);

// Optional parameter ([filename, dir])
// If no filename is passed, the filename is the current unix timestamp
qr.save("StyleWebsite");

Send QR Code to Phone Number

import { ResponseFormat } from 'eztexting-node'
const format: ResponseFormat = 'json';
const newMedia = new MediaFilesCreate(format);

const attendee: Attendee = {
	PhoneNumber: '2057404127', 
	Name: 'Winnie Puh',
	Barcode: 123456789
};

const mediaFileOptions = {filetype: 'png', url: 'https://url-of-png-file.png'}
newMedia.createMediaFile(attendee, mediaFileOptions, createMessageCallBackFn)
