A simple node.js server to store user credentials in a MongoDB database and send notifications to them via a basic web interface.

It is the server-side implementation of Expo push notifications in node.js for which Expo themselves provide an identical tool here, without the user saving part.

It is based on the pretty extensive hackathon-starter boilerplate where some of the scaffold comes from, but most of its features have been removed for simplification purposes.

You'll need a running MongoDB instance for this to work. Otherwise, node won't know where to store the user data.

This should be as easy as:

npm install

You may want to install nodemon for not having to constantly restart your server.

node app.js or nodemon app.js

Send a POST request to /user with the following parameters:

• name: name of the user
• token: the exponent token that'll be used to send a push notification to a user
• email: email of the user (used as the unique identification key when triggering a push notification)

Either go to the dashboard at / and click on "Send notification" or...

Send a POST request to /api/notification/:email, where :email is the email of the user you want to notify, with the following parameters:

• title
• message
