NodeJS GCM Challenge

A NodeJS challenge for sending data to android devices via Google Cloud Messaging

Introduction

In this challenge you are going to write a simple nodejs library named node-gcm-xmpp which sends downstream XMPP messages over socket. It is supposed to be a simple library sending messages via XMPP over socket, right now we don't care about advanced options such as delay_while_idle, delivery, queue management, etc.

We should be able to use your library this way:

var gcm = require('node-gcm-xmpp');

var message = new gcm.Message();

message.addData('key1', 'msg1');

var regTokens = ['YOUR_REG_TOKEN_HERE'];

// Set up the sender with you API key
var sender = new gcm.Sender('YOUR_API_KEY_HERE');

// Now the sender can be used to send messages
sender.send(message, { registrationTokens: regTokens }, function (err, response) {
  if(err) console.error(err);
  else    console.log(response);
});

This challenge can be done within a few days depending on the developer's experience.

Expectations

Estimation

After reading and understanding the challenge and all of expectations, estimate the challenge development cost, send us your time cost estimation and your reasoning on how you've estimated this. Do not start development before getting a confirmation from us.

Private Repo

Create a private git repositry named node-gcm-xmpp and share it with us. you can use bitbucket for free. Just do it, there are some points in making it private.

Gitflow

Apply gitflow to your repository and follow its guidelines during your development. You are supposed to release version 0.1.0 at the end of this challange.

README

Include a readme file describing how to install, test and use your library.

Tests

Create unit tests with the testing framework of your choice. A good test coverage is expected.

CI

Integrate your repository with shippable. Don't worry! Configuration is almost the same as Travis-CI, considering you've already worked with latter one.

Code Quality

Integrate your project with codacy. We do like to see your code quality, coverage and branch report. You'll need to setup code analysis and coverage report at codacy.
