Quickly send an SMS message using the Twilio API.

message.js

// make sure you `npm install twilio` before you run

const config = {
  // get your credentials from the twilio console: www.twilio.com/console
  // can also be configured as environment variables instead
  accountSid: '<twilio account sid>',
  authToken: '<twilio auth token>',
  // on a twilio trial account, you can only send from and to confirmed or purchased numbers
  // upgrade your account to send to any number
  from: '+10000000000',
  to: '+10000000000',
  // the message you want to send
  body: 'Hey there!'
}

const client = require('twilio')(config.accountSid, config.authToken, { lazyLoading: true })

const message = () => {
  const { from, to, body } = config
  return client.messages.create({ from, to, body })
    .then(message => console.log('sent', message.sid))
    .catch(error => console.error('error', error))
}

// you could also easily send messages on an interval (p.s. don't, this is spam-like)
// setInterval(message, config.seconds * 1000)
