This is a tool for sending firebase push notifications to client apps. Currently I added support to send notifications only to Android apps, but iOS support will be added later.
You can use this tool from here. https://firebase-notifier.vercel.app/.
or using it from the source connecting to your own firebase account.
It is similar like https://www.pushtry.com/, but with functionality to save your projects, where you are sending notifications and which user your are sending it to.
You can use this tool just to test push notification feature in your app while your are developing it, or in a production app where you don't have a backend for the app and you want to manually send some push notifications to specific users from time to time. For example asking for reviews or notifying them about some features.
This tool is dependent on Firebase Messaging, Firestore and Amplitude (https://amplitude.com/)
To use this tool, you have to have some mechanism in your app to get the firebase device token. Because to send notification from this tool you have to provide the device token of the user.
Create a firebase project and add a web app there. Get the firebase configs and add those in src/configs.json file
Update the rule for firebase firestore to allow access only if user is authenticated. Go to firestore rule section and add this rule there.
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
}
}
}
For amplitude id, go to their site, create your account and add a javascript project there. Then you can get the amplitude id. Add it in the configs.json file.
I added amplitude to see some analytics of the project. If you don't want to use it, you can remove the dependency and code that depends on it from the project.
to start the project run yarn start
- Add support for sending notifications to iOS Apps
Here is how it looks.
