Configuration

Starting with version 3.0.0, the plugin is registered automatically on all platforms.

This plugin always uses the default sms app.

Use it

import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {SmsManager} from "@byteowls/capacitor-sms";


@Component({
    template: "<button mat-raised-button color='primary' (click)='sendSms()'>Send SMS now!</button>"
})
export class SmsExampleComponent implements OnInit {

    async ngOnInit() {
        const info: DeviceInfo = await Device.getInfo();
    }

    sendSms() {
        const numbers: string[] = ["+43 123 123123123", "+43 4564 56456456"];
        SmsManager.send({
            numbers: numbers,
            text: "This is a example SMS",
        }).then(() => {
            // success
        }).catch(error => {
            console.error(error);
        });
    }
}
