Node Sender API for the AeroGear Unified Push server

This version of the sender is compatible with the 1.1.x series of the UnifiedPush Server_

Add the dependency to your project:

npm i unifiedpush-node-sender

Create a sender

const agSender = require('unifiedpush-node-sender');

const settings = {
    url: '<pushServerURL e.g http(s)//host:port/context>',
    applicationId: '<pushApplicationId e.g. 1234456-234320>',
    masterSecret: '<masterSecret e.g. 1234456-234320>'
};

First get a handle on the client object, then use the client.sender.send method to send a message

agSender(settings).then((client) => {
    client.sender.send(message, options).then((response) => {
        console.log('success', response);
    })
});

Similar to the send method but passing an array of {message, options} objects as parameter instead.

agSender(settings).then((client) => {
    client.sender.sendBatch(messages).then((response) => {
        console.log('success', response);
    })
});
