Ionic PushApps push notifications Sample##

A sample mobile app build with Ionic to demonstrate how to register and receive push notifications with PushApps service on Android and iOS.

Running sample project

Download project and go to www/js/config.js . Insert in your google project id and PushApps id.

Android
A guide for obtaining Google Project id and PushApps can be found here: Android getting started. After you do that open command line and go to the root of the project. Then execute following command:

ionic platform add android

iOS
A guide for iOS can be found here: iOS getting started. After you do that open command line and go to the root of the project. Then execute following command:

ionic platform add ios

If you're supporting iOS, please open the Xcode project you've just created, and add the following code to your AppDelegate.m file:

#import "PushApps.h"
 
#pragma mark - Push Notifications
  
#ifdef __IPHONE_8_0
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
    [[PushAppsManager sharedInstance] didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings];
}
  
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void(^)())completionHandler
{
    [[PushAppsManager sharedInstance] handleActionWithIdentifier:identifier forRemoteNotification:userInfo  
        completionHandler:completionHandler];
}
#endif
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
{
    // Notify PushApps of a successful registration.
    [[PushAppsManager sharedInstance] updatePushToken:deviceToken];
}
  
// Gets called when a remote notification is received while app is in the foreground.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
    [[PushAppsManager sharedInstance] handlePushMessageOnForeground:userInfo];
}
  
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    // keeps you up to date with any errors during push setup.
    [[PushAppsManager sharedInstance] updatePushError:error];
}

After that you can run it. If you are testing on android emulator - set the target of the emulator to Google APIs. Push notifications will not work on iOS emulator, you must try them on a real device.

Commands:

ionic run android
ionic run ios

Integrating into your project

Pre-requisites

These plugins must be installed for push notifications to work properly:

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device
cordova plugin add https://github.com/PushAppsService/PushAppsPhonegap.git

I suggest you to add them as a cordova hooks. I've done this in sample project, you can find it here: hooks/before_platform_add/010_install_plugins.js

Download PushNotification.factory.js into your project and link it from your index.html. Open it and insert your google project id and PushApps id. If you are supporting iOS, please take a look at steps mentioned under running sample project/iOS.

Handle incoming notifications

PushApps will raise an HTML event, every time an incoming notification is received. In order to bind a function to this event, all you need is:

document.addEventListener('pushapps.message-received', function(event) {
	var notification = event.notification;
	// This is the entire object, just take the wanted property
	console.log(notification);
});

API Usage

Register device

PushNotification.registerDevice().then(function(pushToken) {
	//Device registered
}, function(error) {
	//error occurred
});

Unregister device

PushNotification.unRegisterDevice().then(function(data) {
	//Device unregistered
}, function(error) {
	//error occurred
});

Get device id

PushNotification.getDeviceId().then(function(deviceId) {
	//do sth...
}, function(error) {
	//error occurred
});

Set tags

For more tag options look at: Phonegap API

// Add string tag
var str = document.getElementById("cityNameInput").value;
var iden = "City";

PushNotification.setTags(iden, value).then(function(data) {
	//tag set
}, function(error) {
	//error occurred
});

Remove tags
