Basic example

This is an example of how raix:push works at a minimal level.

Depending on the platforms you want to work with you will need some credentials or certificates.

• Android
• iOS

Config

Use the Push.Configure function on client and server.

On the client

Push.Configure({
  android: {
    senderID: 12341234,
    alert: true,
    badge: true,
    sound: true,
    vibrate: true,
    clearNotifications: true
    // icon: '',
    // iconColor: ''
  },
  ios: {
    alert: true,
    badge: true,
    sound: true
  }
});

Additionally you have to touch mobile-config.js

App.configurePlugin('phonegap-plugin-push', {
  SENDER_ID: 12341234
});

This is due to changes in the cordova plugin it self

Server:

Push.Configure({
  apn: {
    pfx: 'path/to/your/pfx/or/single/p12/file'
    passphrase: 'xxxxxxxxx',
    production: true,
    //gateway: 'gateway.push.apple.com',
  },
  gcm: {
    apiKey: 'xxxxxxx',
  }
  // production: true,
  // 'sound' true,
  // 'badge' true,
  // 'alert' true,
  // 'vibrate' true,
  // 'sendInterval': 15000, Configurable interval between sending
  // 'sendBatchSize': 1, Configurable number of notifications to send per batch
  // 'keepNotifications': false,
//
});

Note: config.push.json is deprecating

Test

You can send push notifications to all users from client and server - Use browser console or Meteor shell:

Push.send({
  from: 'Test',
  title: 'Hello',
  text: 'World',
  badge: 12,
  query: {}
});

Security

If you remove the insecure package from Meteor you have to explicitly allow users to send push notifications from client-side. common.js

  Push.allow({
    send: function(userId, notification) {
      // Allow all users to send to everybody - For test only!
      return true;
    }
  });

More

Try adding the Meteor accounts-password package and let users login. Try sending a push notification to a user:

Push.send({
  from: 'Test',
  title: 'Hello',
  text: 'World',
  badge: 12,
  // sound: fileInPublicFolder
  query: {
    userId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx'
  }
});

Debug

Help me fix bugs - you can enable debugging by setting Push.debug = true; - This will log details about whats going on in the system.

Kind regards
