Push Notification Sample App

A sample mobile app built with Ionic and ngCordova to demonstrate how to register for and receive push notifications. Once the device registration token is received it is sent to a locally running node service to be stored for later push notifications in a mongodb db using node-pushserver. Modify the URL in the controllers.js file to match your own setup.

sendMsg.js is another node service I've written and included to show an example of different ways to configure push notifications as well and can be run manually as long as the node-apn library has been installed.

subscribe.js is yet another node service that can be used to manually add a user and token into your locally running push-server instance.

###ngCordova ngCordova is an AngularJS wrapper library for working with Cordova plugins. It's essentially a set of directives implemented with promises to help keep your plugin code clean, organized and more maintainable.

Install the following plugins:

• PushPlugin

• console

• device

• dialogs

• media

• file

    $ ionic plugin add org.apache.cordova.console
    $ ionic plugin add org.apache.cordova.device
    $ ionic plugin add org.apache.cordova.dialogs    
    $ ionic plugin add org.apache.cordova.file
    $ ionic plugin add org.apache.cordova.media
    $ ionic plugin add https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin
  

###Push Notification Sample Node Service node-apn This sample also includes a node service example called sendMsg.js for sending push notifications using the node-apn library.

###node-pushserver Check out node-pushserver to manage push notifications and device tokens with mongodb. This sample includes a subscribe.js file sample node/express service which can be used to subscribe a user and token for push notifications. You can then send push notifications from your web browser easily simply using their UI as shown below.
