Unable to return response back to view.

I have read your documentation but am unable to understand, how I can send back the response if OTP is sent in laravel.

Can please explain your desired flow ?

This package provides methods to send otps which is similar to calling a method on an instance. You can return response return view(...) as you would normally do in a controller. To handle errors, simply wrap the sending logic into a try-catch block and return the error response.

I am using Axios to send and verify the OTP to create authentication. I need to get a response from the controller and redirect it to the dashboard. As I am new to the laravel, I can send and verify OTP with the help of the documentation, but I cannot figure out how I can achieve that. I hope I can explain the problem.

AuthController.php

public function loginWithMobile(LoginRequest $request)
    {
        $countryCode =  $request->input('countryCode');
        $mobileNumber =  $request->input('mobileNumber');
        $fullmobileNumber = $countryCode.$mobileNumber;
        // Checking User
        if (User::where('mobileNumber', $fullmobileNumber)->exists()) {
            try {
                $response = Msg91::otp()->to($fullmobileNumber)->send();
                $statusCode = $response->getData();
                return $statusCode;
            } catch (\Craftsys\Msg91\Exceptions\ValidationException $e) {

            } catch (\Craftsys\Msg91\Exceptions\ResponseErrorException $e) {

            } 

         }else{
            $userId = \Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid::uuid4()->toString();
            User::Create([
                'userId'    => $userId,
                'mobileNumber'    => $fullmobileNumber
                ]);
            Msg91::otp()
            ->to($fullmobileNumber)
            ->send();
         }
    }

As mentioned in the docs, you can handle the response and errors.

For your use case, following changes should be sufficient.

    public function loginWithMobile(LoginRequest $request)
    {
        $countryCode =  $request->input('countryCode');
        $mobileNumber =  $request->input('mobileNumber');
        $fullmobileNumber = $countryCode.$mobileNumber;
        // Create User if not exists
        if (!User::where('mobileNumber', $fullmobileNumber)->exists()) {
            $userId = \Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid::uuid4()->toString();
            User::Create([
                'userId'    => $userId,
                'mobileNumber'    => $fullmobileNumber
            ]);
        }
       // send the OTP for mobile number verification
       try {
            $response = Msg91::otp()->to($fullmobileNumber)->send();
            return ['message' => 'OTP successfully sent.'];
       } catch (\Exception $e) {
            // something went wrong with the OTP send process, return the error response
            $error = \Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException::withMessages([
                'mobileNumber' => $e->getMessage(),
           ]);
           throw $error;                
       } 
    }

Hope it helps.
