loopback-connector-primotexto

Introduction

A Primotexto connector for LoopBack.

This connector is an adaptation of loopback-connector-twilio and loopback-connector-yunpian for primotexto API.

The connector supports the following aspects of the Primotexto REST API:

• Sending notification SMS
• Sending marketing SMS

Installation

In your LoopBack project:

$ npm install loopback-connector-primotexto

Using the Connector

To use the connector, define the datasource using the connector in your datasources.json file:

"primotexto": {
    "name": "primotexto",
    "connector": "loopback-connector-primotexto",
    "apiKey": "YOUR_PRIMOTEXTO_API_KEY"
}

Next, attach the created datasource to a model in the model-config.json file:

"Primotexto": {
    "dataSource": "primotexto",
    "public": true
}

Now, using the created model, you can send a SMS using the send method of the model:

// with a callback
Primotexto.send(options, function (err, res) {

});


// or with a Promise
Primotexto.send(options)
    .then(function (res) {

    })
    .catch(function (err) {
    });

Note: options is defined by the JSON objects in the next two sections:

Sending a notification SMS

{
    "type": "notification",
    "receiver": "RECEIVER_PHONE_NUMBER",
    "message": "TEXT_MESSAGE",
    "sender": "YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER",
    "campaignName": "CAMPAIN_NAME",
    "category": "CATEGORY"
}

Sending a marketing SMS

{
    "type": "marketing",
    "receiver": "RECEIVER_PHONE_NUMBER",
    "message": "TEXT_MESSAGE",
    "sender": "YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER",
    "campaignName": "CAMPAIN_NAME",
    "category": "CATEGORY"
}

To run the example in the /example/example.js directory, you must set the following values in the file:

const apiKey = 'YOUR_PRIMOTEXTO_API_KEY'
const receiver = 'RECEIVER_PHONE_NUMBER'
const sender = 'SPC'
