Aws Push Bundle

A convenient bundle for registering devices and then pushing to them using amazons SNS service.

Install

Composer

php composer.phar require mcfedr/awspushbundle

AppKernel

Include the bundle in your AppKernel

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        ...
        new Mcfedr\AwsPushBundle\McfedrAwsPushBundle()

Config

Put something like this in your config. The arns in the platforms section should be the preconfigured app arns in SNS.

mcfedr_aws_push:
    platforms:
        ios: 'arn:aws:sns:....'
        android: 'arn:aws:sns:....'
    topic_arn: 'arn:aws:sns:...'
    aws:
        key: 'my key'
        secret: 'my secret'
        region: 'my region'

Usage

Basically have a look at how the ApiController does its stuff

1. Register the device token

    $arn = $this->get('mcfedr_aws_push.devices')->registerDevice($token, $platform)
   

2. Send message to one device

    $this->get('mcfedr_aws_push.messages')->send($message, $arn)
   

3. Send message to all devices

    $this->get('mcfedr_aws_push.messages')->broadcast($message)
   

Alternative usage, using topics to send messages to lots of devices

1. Register the device token

    $arn = $this->get('mcfedr_aws_push.devices')->registerDevice($token, $platform)
   

2. Register the device on the topic

    $this->get('mcfedr_aws_push.topics')->registerDeviceOnTopic($arn, $topicArn)
   

3. Send messages

    $this->get('mcfedr_aws_push.topics')->broadcast($message, $topicArn)
   

If you later add a topic_name to the configuration you can run the mcfedr:aws:subscribe command to add your existing devices to the topic.

Commands

There are some commands to help manage the devices

1. mcfedr:aws:enable

   This will reenable all the devices

2. mcfedr:aws:remove

   This will remove any disabled devices. Its a good idea to do something like this regularly to remove old devices

3. mcfedr:aws:subscribe

   This will subscribe all devices to a topic, useful when introducing a topic

Api Controller

There is a controller included which makes basic usage of the bundle very easy. You may or may not want to use it, you might find it most useful as an example.

Routing

If you want to use the default controller you need to setup the routing

mcfedr_aws_push:
    resource: "@McfedrAwsPushBundle/Controller/"
    type:     annotation
    prefix:   /

Usage

The controller provides two urls, both expect a JSON POST body

1. The first is a way to register a device

    POST /devices
    {
        "device": {
            "deviceId": "a push token",
            "platform": "the platform name in your config file"
        }
    }
   

2. The second is a way to send a broadcast message. If you are using a topic for all devices then don't send the platform parameter.

    POST /broadcast
    {
        "broadcast": {
            "platform": "ios"
            "message": {
                "text": "The plain text message to send",
                "badge": 1
            }
        }
    }
