Introduction
This Go package provides a client that can establish a connection with the Apple Push Notification service and deliver notifications to end users based on a device token. This package has been implemented according to Apple's documentation (available at ever changing/breaking URLs).
Installation
go get github.com/arashpayan/apns
Usage
Create a Client and connect to the APNs
client := apns.NewClient(apns.SandboxGateway, // or apns.ProductionGateway
"/path/to/my/signed/cert/file.crt",
"/path/to/my/private/key/file.key",
func(invalidToken string) {
// called when we try to send a notification to an invalid token
// You should delete the token from your db by disassociating it with
// the user you tried sending the notification too. When this is called
// it means the person either uninstalled your app or has switched to
// a new device.
})
err := client.Connect()
if err != nil {
// handle the connection error
}Create a Notification
n := apns.NewNotification(aDeviceToken)
n.Alert = "Hello, user!"
n.Badge = 1
// optionally, include app data ('aps' element of notification json)
n.AppData = map[string]interface{}{"sound":"tada", "Foo":"Bar"}Send the Notification
client.Send(n)
