SmsBlitz is a library for elixir that allows you to send SMS messages through multiple different providers.

SmsBlitz provides a generic behaviour to make it easy to write conforming client libraries, while also making it simple for developers to choose which provider to use (you could use ex_phone_number to detect the destination country and use the cheapest provider for that country, for example).

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

1. Add sms_blitz to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

        def deps do
          [{:sms_blitz, "~> 0.1.1"}]
        end

2. Ensure sms_blitz is started before your application:

        def application do
          [applications: [:sms_blitz]]
        end

Setting up with SmsBlitz is easy. You simply add the authentication details for the providers you want to use into to your config:

config :sms_blitz, plivo: {"api_token", "api_key"}
config :sms_blitz, itagg: {"username", "password", "route"}
config :sms_blitz, twilio: {"account_sid", "auth_token"}
config :sms_blitz, nexmo: {"account_key", "account_secret"}

You can find out which adapters are available like so (note that the list of adapters is not the same as the list of adapters which has been configured correctly!):

SmsBlitz.adapters
# [:plivo, :itagg, :twilio, :nexmo]

Then you can send the SMS to the provider as simply as this:

SmsBlitz.send_sms(:adapter, from: "Johnny", to: "07123456789", message: "Here's Johnny!")

Where :adapter is the adapter you've chosen from the list.

The output of the send_sms/2 command above will either be like:

%{
  id: "id here",
  result_string: "Things went well",
  status_code: "1337"
}

Or an Array of maps formatted as above. It's important that you handle both types of responses!
