Push Notifications

The Push Notifications plugin package provides a way for you to register your APNs and Firebase push notification token at an agent, allowing you to use push notifications directly from AFJ.

note

This document is for version 0.5.x of the @aries-framework/push-notifications package, that works with @aries-framework/core version 0.4.x. Extension packages (such as Push Notifications) are versioned separately from the core packages.

Installation

To add the Push Notifications plugin package to your existing project simply run:

npm

npm i @aries-framework/push-notifications

Yarn

yarn add @aries-framework/push-notifications

Usage

import { PushNotificationsApnsModule, PushNotificationsFcmModule } from '@aries-framework/push-notifications'
import {  } from '@aries-framework/core'

const agent = new Agent({
    /** agent config... */,
    // Register the modules
    modules: {
        pushNotificationsApns: new PushNotificationsApnsModule(),
        pushNotificationsFcm: new PushNotificationsFcmModule(),
    },
    }
})

await agent.initialize()

/* -- iOS -- */

// To send apns device info to another agent you have to acquire the device token and send it.
await agent.modules.pushNotificationsApns.sendDeviceInfo(
  'a-valid-connection-id'
  { deviceToken: '123' },
)

// To get the device info and the used service back from the other agent
await agent.modules.pushNotificationsApns.getDeviceInfo('a-valid-connection')

/* -- fcm / Android -- */

// To send fcm, primarily Android, device info to another agent you have to acquire the device token and send it.
await agent.modules.pushNotificationsFcm.sendDeviceInfo(
  'a-valid-connection-id'
  { deviceToken: '123' },
)

// To get the device info and the used service back from the other agent
await agent.modules.pushNotificationsFcm.getDeviceInfo('a-valid-connection')
