Qux is a quizz application that uses Web Worker Push Notifications to prompt users periodically with questions.
It relies on a MEAN stack, that is, Mongodb, Expressjs, Angularjs, Nodejs, to support its features.
You will need nodejs and a mongodb database, as well as a Firebase account to send notifications.
First checkout the project:
git clone https://github.com/apricat/qux.git
Using a text editor, replace the config.mongodb line in the config-default.js file with your own configuration.
config.mongodb = "mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@ds035806.mlab.com:35806/<dbname>";
Save the modified file as config.js.
Navigate to the directory from the command line, and run the npm install command to fetch all required packages.
npm install
Run node server.js.
App listening on port 8080
If the installation was successful, you should be able to access the quizz using your web browser at the localhost:8080 address.
Now that the project is installed and running, visit the form page to add questions and possible answers:
http://localhost:8080
Note that you will also need to choose Allow notifications when prompted.
Once your quizz is populated, use cURL to manually trigger notifications and validate that the setup is working:
curl --header "Authorization: key=<PUBLIC_API_KEY>" --header "Content-Type: application/json" https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send -d "{\"registration_ids\":[\"<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>\"]}"
The <SUBSCRIPTION_ID> is supplied in the JavaScript console within the endpoint, and the <PUBLIC_API_KEY> is supplied through Firebase.
