Usage

Here’s how to use the NotifyLK package in your Node.js application:

const notify = new NotifyLK('YOUR_USER_ID', 'YOUR_API_KEY', 'YOUR_SENDER_ID');
    
notify.sendSMS('9471XXXXXXX', 'Hello from NotifyLK')
        .then(response => console.log(response))
        .catch(error => console.error(error));

Examples

1. Sending a Simple SMS

This example demonstrates how to send a simple SMS using the NotifyLK package:

const NotifyLK = require('notify-lk');
    
const notify = new NotifyLK('YOUR_USER_ID', 'YOUR_API_KEY', 'YOUR_SENDER_ID');
    
notify.sendSMS('9471XXXXXXX', 'Hello from NotifyLK')
    .then(response => console.log('SMS Sent:', response))
    .catch(error => console.error('Error Sending SMS:', error));

2. Checking Account Status

This example shows how to check your account's status, including balance and active status:

notify.getAccountStatus()
    .then(status => console.log('Account Status:', status))
    .catch(error => console.error('Error Fetching Account Status:', error));

3. Sending SMS with Unicode Characters

To send an SMS containing Unicode characters (e.g., emojis, non-Latin scripts), include the type option:

notify.sendSMS('9471XXXXXXX', 'Hello from NotifyLK 😊', { type: 'unicode' })
    .then(response => console.log('Unicode SMS Sent:', response))
    .catch(error => console.error('Error Sending Unicode SMS:', error));

4. Bulk SMS Sending

Sending SMS to multiple recipients in a loop:

const numbers = ['9471XXXXXXX', '9472XXXXXXX', '9473XXXXXXX'];
const message = 'Hello from NotifyLK';
    
numbers.forEach(number => {
    notify.sendSMS(number, message)
        .then(response => console.log(`SMS Sent to ${number}:`, response))
        .catch(error => console.error(`Error Sending SMS to ${number}:`, error));
    });

5. Handling SMS Errors Gracefully

This example demonstrates how to handle errors, such as invalid phone numbers or API issues:

notify.sendSMS('invalid_number', 'This message will fail')
    .then(response => console.log('SMS Sent:', response))
    .catch(error => {
        if (error.response && error.response.data) {
            console.error('API Error:', error.response.data);
        } else {
            console.error('Unknown Error:', error.message);
        }
    });

6. Scheduling SMS for Future Delivery

If Notify.lk supports scheduling (hypothetical, as the real API may not), you could do something like this:

const scheduleDate = new Date(Date.now() + 60 * 60 * 1000); // 1 hour from now
notify.sendSMS('9471XXXXXXX', 'This message is scheduled for future delivery', { send_at: scheduleDate.toISOString() })
    .then(response => console.log('Scheduled SMS Sent:', response))
    .catch(error => console.error('Error Scheduling SMS:', error));
