Getting Started

Pre Reqs:

  • node.js
  • npm
  • git

Building

clone and install:

$ git@github.com:aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-nodejs-client.git

$ npm install

Running Tests

$ npm test

Add to a Project

In your project do

npm install path/to/aerogear-unified-push-node-client

or

Examples

Require the unifiedpush-node-sender library

const agSender = require('unifiedpush-node-sender');

const settings = {
    url: 'http://localhost:8080/ag-push',
    applicationId: '12345',
    masterSecret: '123456'
};

Send a Message

First get a handle on the client object, then use the client.sender.send method to send a message

agSender(settings).then((client) => {
    client.sender.send(message, options).then((response) => {
        console.log('success', response);
    })
});

Send a Batch of messages

Similar to the send method but passing an array of {message, options} objects as parameter instead.

agSender(settings).then((client) => {
    client.sender.sendBatch(messages).then((response) => {
        console.log('success', response);
    })
});

Changes from 0.14.0 to 0.14.1

There was a bug in the send method. The UPS was sending back a 202, but we were looking for a 200, therefore all promises were rejecting. Oops

Changes from 0.13.0 to 0.14.0

Promise rejections now return proper Error objects - 3f1a2a1. Thanks (evanshortiss)[https://github.com/evanshortiss]

Changes from 0.12.0 to 0.13.0

0.13.0 is pretty much a complete re-write of the client. It now only returns Promises.

It also require at least node 4.x or greater.

The way in which the send method is invoked has changed also. Check out the example above to see the new way of using this library
