Novu React Quickstart

This sample app demonstrates how to integrate Novu's Notification Center in a React app.

It demonstrates how to trigger notifications from any backend and view them in real-time within the app.

You can refer to this guide to know more about it.

Configuration

Create a free account in Novu

Go to Novu and click Sign Up.
Use GitHub Account to login.

Obtain Credentials

Your project needs to be configured with the following:

App Identifier
API key from your Novu dashboard.
SubscriberId to send notifications to.

Run the project

To run the project, first, clone the repo.

cd Front-end

npm install

Create a .env file and the following variables - REACT_APP_SUB_ID and REACT_APP_APP_ID to it.

REACT_APP_SUB_ID is the identifier for the 'SubscriberID' and it is used to identify the subscriber you're sending notifications to.

You can obtain the 'SubscriberID' from the Novu dashboard. REACT_APP_APP_ID, on the other hand, is the identifier for the application.

You can get your own application identifier from the Novu dashboard settings.

Start the front-end using:

npm start

Now, we'll set up the backend:

cd ../Back-end

npm install

Create a .env file and the variable - NOVU_API_KEY to it. It has been logged in novu.js at line 6. Use it to confirm your key value. You can get your API key from the Novu dashboard.

Fire up the backend server using:

npm start
