The FakeSms notifier transport can be used for testing purposes, as it does not require an account with a third party and does not consume currency or credits.

INFO

SMS Frameworks own test code uses the Fake transport to mock the behavior of transports.

Send messages to logs or email

This transport sends SMS messages to either logs or email.

For logger, you can view them in dblog.module or your configured logging solution, such as a logger for Monolog.

For email, SMS messages will be transformed into email, so you can view them in a third party or a local development solution like Mailpit or Mailhog.

Installation

From a project with a pre-installed version of Notifier and SMS, bring in the FakeSms dependency:

composer require symfony/fake-sms-notifier

WARNING

The dependency must be brought in as a non- dev requirement, as the container compiler pass (\Drupal\sms\SmsCompilerPass) is intelligent enough to not enable services for transports when they're found in require-dev.

Configuration

In the site directory, usually sites/default/, create a services.yml file.

Add to settings.php:

$settings['container_yamls'][] = __DIR__ . '/services.yml';

The transport DSN is different depending on whether you prefer email or logger behavior. Add to services.yml:

parameters:
  sms.transports:
    # Choose one of, logger:
    fake_transport_logger: 'fakesms+logger://default'
    # ...or email:
    fake_transport_email: 'fakesms+email://MAILER_SERVICE_ID?to=TO&from=FROM'

Then clear Drupal caches:

drush cr

Continue at the Sending documentation to use the newly configured channel. Noting that the recipient you send to must be a valid SmsRecipientInterface.
