A Node.js module for interfacing with Apple Push Notification, Google Cloud Messaging, Microsoft Push Notification and Amazon Device Messaging services.
npm install node-pushnotifications
#Features
- Powerful and intuitive.
- Multi platform push sends.
- Automatically detects destination device type.
- Unified error handling.
iOS: Prepare cert.pem and key.pem as described in node-apn
Import and setup push module:
var settings = {
gcm: {
id: null, // PUT YOUR GCM SERVER API KEY,
options: {},
msgcnt: 1,
dataDefaults: {
delayWhileIdle: false,
timeToLive: 4 * 7 * 24 * 3600, // 4 weeks
retries: 4
}
},
apn: {
gateway: 'gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com',
badge: 1,
defaultData: {
expiry: 4 * 7 * 24 * 3600, // 4 weeks
sound: 'ping.aiff'
}
},
adm: {
client_id: null, // PUT YOUR ADM CLIENT ID,
client_secret: null, // PUT YOUR ADM CLIENT SECRET,
expiresAfter: 4 * 7 * 24 * 3600, // 4 weeks
}
};
var push = new requiere('node-pushnotifications')(settings);
Define destination device ID. You can send to multiple devices, independently of platform, creating an array with different destination device IDs.
// Single destination
deviceIds = 'INSERT_YOUR_DEVICE_ID';
// Multiple destinations
deviceIds = [];
deviceIds.push('INSERT_YOUR_DEVICE_ID');
deviceIds.push('INSERT_OTHER_DEVICE_ID');
Next, create a JSON object witch MUST contain, at least, a title and message and send it to server.
data = {title: 'New push notification' , message: 'Powered by AppFeel', otherfields: 'optionally add more data');
push.sendPush(deviceIds, data, function (result) {
console.log(result);
});
Result will contain 'true' or 'an error description'.
