#Minimal WebPush Subscription Demo
This is the companion demo for How to Manage Web Push Subscriptions.
This demo was written on a Linux box. This means that macs may work too, but older installs of Windows might have a harder time of things.
In addition, you'll need to either serve the ./page directory from your
local web server or run bin/server and connect to
http://localhost:8200. This is because of a
restriction enforced by ServiceWorkers. ServiceWorker scripts must
either be served from a secure server (one that can run https:// or
from localhost)
To get started:
git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/subscriber_demo.git
cd subscriber_demo
virtualenv -p python3 .
bin/activate
python setup.py develop
server
Now start your browser and go to the topic page being served.
(Again, either this is under a server running on your local machine , or by
running bin/server and going to http://localhost:8200 )
The page is fairly self explanatory, but basically, click on the Subscribe button, and say "Allow" when prompted.
To send a message to all registered subscribers, use the pusher
command:
pusher --msg "This is a test"
To send a message to a specific subscriber, specify that subscriber's userID (displayed on the page after registration):
pusher --msg "This is a test" --id='Abcd1234
