Localy made php to magento directory- magento 2

Question

My requirement is sending sms while place order button triggered.

1) Locally I have use one predefined sms gateway server

I receive message When I run http://localhost/send-sms.php, its not a magento way its fully core php.

2) I have set one event/observer when place order get trigger

I could try with copy the send-sms.php content to observer execute method, also copy the php library to the same Observer Class location but it is not work.

Observer class execute method

public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
{
require "twilio-php-master/Services/Twilio.php";
$AccountSid = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$AuthToken = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$client = new Services_Twilio($AccountSid, $AuthToken);
$message = $client->account->messages->create(array(
 "From" => "YYYYYYYYY",
 "To" => "YYYYYYYYYY",
 "Body" => "Test message!",
));
echo "Sent message {$message->sid}";
}

problem is magento get not recognize require URL. (first line of the execute method)

 require 'twilio-php-master/Services/Twilio.php';
 $client = new Services_Twilio($AccountSid, $AuthToken);

Services_Twilio class defined in Twilio.php, localy its work when I move to magento 2. I stuck with this two lines.

Where could I copy the twilio-php-master (php libreary)?

Answer 1

To my mind the right solution should be like this:

1. Add twilio/sdk (link on github and link on packagist) at your extension dependencies in the composer.json.
2. Create a model where you'll have the opportunity to write a code for sms sending (copy this part of code from the send-sms.php).
3. Use this model in your observer in order to send sms.

PS: Do not forget to run setup:upgrade to load the twilio/sdk library

UPDATE:

In the Magento root directory you should execute the command (in the terminal):

composer require twilio/sdk

Then a composer adds the twilio library in the vendor folder and generates the autoloader for it:

twilio in the vendor directory

After that you can call the Services_Twilio class without any require (thanks to autoloader) like this:

$AccountSid = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$AuthToken = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$client = new \Services_Twilio($AccountSid, $AuthToken);
$message = $client->account->messages->create(array(
 "From" => "YYYYYYYYY",
 "To" => "YYYYYYYYYY",
 "Body" => "Test message!",
));
echo "Sent message {$message->sid}";

Note: do not forget to add "\" before the class name.

Result in debug:

result for twilio in debug

As you can see, the Twilio class calling (reference) happens without any errors.

In addition, you can add dependence in the composer.json file of the module, like this:

{
 "name": "vendor/module-module",
 "description": "Sample Module",
 "require": {
 "php": "~5.5.0|~5.6.0|~7.0.0",
 "magento/module-ui": "100.0.*",
 "magento/magento-composer-installer": "*",
 "twilio/sdk": "~4.10"
 },
 "type": "magento2-module",
 "version": "1.0.0",
 "license": [
 "OSL-3.0",
 "AFL-3.0"
 ],
 "autoload": {
 "files": [ "registration.php" ],
 "psr-4": {
 "Vendor\\Module\\": ""
 }
 }
}

But it will work only at installation of the module through the composer.
