A lightweight js Firebase CloudFunction for sending iOS push notifications via a frontend form
The category for the notification can be fed directly from the frontend. If no category is selected (frontend defaults to general), it will automatically send it to all users as a safeguard const category = data.category || 'general';.
You can easily archive notifications by adjusting the following to match your target Firestore database:
// Create a record of the notification in Firestore
const notificationRecord = {
title: data.title,
body: data.body,
isCritical: data.isCritical || false,
timestamp: admin.firestore.FieldValue.serverTimestamp(), // Record the server's timestamp
};
// Write the record to a "notifications" collection in Firestore
return admin.firestore().collection('notifications').add(notificationRecord)
.then(() => {
return { success: true };
});
