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

Add a config.push.json file in your project and configure credentials / keys / certificates:

{
  "apn": {
    "passphrase": "xxxxxxxxx",  
    "key": "apnProdKey.pem",
    "cert": "apnProdCert.pem"
  },
  "gcm": {
    "apiKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "projectNumber": xxxxxxxxxxxx
  },
  "production": true
}

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
