# ExUssd

[![Actions Status](https://github.com/beamkenya/ex_ussd/workflows/Elixir%20CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/beamkenya/ex_ussd/actions) ![Hex.pm](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/ex_ussd) ![Hex.pm](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/dt/ex_ussd)

Goals:

- An idiomatic, readable, and comfortable API for Elixir developers
- Extensibility based on small parts that do one thing well.
- Detailed error messages and documentation.
- A focus on robustness and production-level performance.

## Why Use ExUssd?

 ExUssd lets you create simple, flexible, and customizable USSD interface.
 Under the hood ExUssd uses Elixir Registry to create and route individual USSD session.

## Documentation

The docs can be found at [https://hexdocs.pm/ex_ussd](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_ussd)

## Installation

The package can be installed
by adding `ex_ussd` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
defp deps do
  [
    {:ex_ussd, "~> 1.1.0"}
  ]
end
```

## Configuration

Add to your `config.exs`

 ```elixir
# config/config.exs
# TODO: This are example values, replace them with your own
config :ex_ussd,
  nav: [
    ExUssd.Nav.new(type: :home, name: "HOME", match: "00", reverse: true, orientation: :vertical),
    ExUssd.Nav.new(type: :back, name: "BACK", match: "0", right: 1),
    ExUssd.Nav.new(type: :next, name: "MORE", match: "98")
  ],
  delimiter: ").",
  default_error: "invalid input,try again\n"
```

## Usage

### ExUssd Callbacks

ExUssd provides you with 3 callbacks

#### Example

Create a new module:

```elixir
defmodule ApiWeb.HomeResolver do
  use ExUssd
  
  def ussd_init(menu, _payload) do
    {:ok, ExUssd.set(menu, title: "Enter your PIN")}
  end

  def ussd_callback(menu, payload, %{attempt: %{count: count}}) do
    if payload.text == "5555" do
      menu =
        menu
        |> ExUssd.set(data: %{name: "John"}) # use payload `phone_number` to fetch the user from DB
        |> ExUssd.set(resolve: &home_rc/2)
      {:ok, menu}
    else
      {:error, "Wrong PIN, #{2 - count} attempt left"}
    end
  end

  def ussd_after_callback(%{error: true} = menu, _payload, %{attempt: %{count: 3}}) do
    menu = 
      menu
      |> ExUssd.set(title: "Account is locked, Dial *234# to reset your account")
      |> ExUssd.set(should_close: true)
    {:ok, menu}
  end

  def home_rc(%ExUssd{data: %{name: name}} = menu, _) do
    menu =  
      menu
      |> ExUssd.set(title: "Welcome #{name}!")
      |> ExUssd.add(ExUssd.new(name: "option 1"))
      |> ExUssd.add(ExUssd.new(name: "option 2"))
      |> ExUssd.set(show_navigation: false) # hide navigation options
    {:ok, menu}
  end
end
```
