Baby Twilio

===========

Most of the time with Twilio we want to do one of two things: send an SMS and

parse incoming SMSes. This package makes it easy to do both.

## Sending SMSes

In the most simple case, you can set three environment variables per Twilio

(`TWILIO_SID`, `TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN`, `TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER`) and then use a

little function to fire off your SMSes.

```go

package main

import (

	"baby-twilio"

	"log"

)

func main() {

	if _, err := twilio.SendSMS("+1-212-555-1212", "Well, hello there."); err != nil {

		log.Fatal("It didn‘t work: ", err)

	}

}

```

For more thorough examples, including ones that don‘t require setting

environment variables, see the `examples` directory.

## Receiving SMSes

Parsing incoming SMSes is just a matter of pointing a webhook at your server

in the Twilio admin interface and parsing incoming requests as such:

```go

package main

import (

	"github.com/meowgorithm/baby-twilio"

	"log"

	"net/http"

)

func main() {

	// Handle incoming HTTP requests

	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

		var (

			sms *twilio.Request

			err error

		)

		// Decode request data from Twilio

		if sms, err = twilio.NewDecoder(r); err != nil {

			log.Println("could not decode incoming SMS: ", err)

			return

		}

		log.Printf("Incoming SMS from %s: %s", sms.From, sms.Body)

	})

	http.ListenAndServe(":8000", nil)

}

```
