MultiGCM

Node.JS module to send GCM Push Notifications for both iOS & Android

Installation

npm install -g multi-gcm

How To Use

var gcm = require('./MultiGCM');
var MultiGCM = new gcm.MultiGCM('AIza...');

var messageAndroid = new gcm.GCMMessage({
  registration_ids:['your_registration_ids'],
  type: 'device type', //Android or iOS
  data: {
    'Your own payload.'
  }
});

MultiGCM.send(message,function(err,response){
    if(err){
        console.error(err);
    }else{
        console.log(response); //Containing the custom result object of this Library
        console.log(response.result); //Containing the JSON object response from GCM
    }
});

Message Object - Properties

registration_ids(array of Strings): Array containing the GCM Tokens to send the notifications.

type: The type of devices (iOS,Android). Needed to make checks on the notification payload properties. (Some properties are required when sending to Android using notification, so it needs to be checked before sending it.)

notification(object): Notification object payload.

data(object): Data object payload.

collapse_key(string): Collapse_key, if not applicable it will not get sent.

dry_run(boolean): Dry_run, if not applicable it will not get sent.

time_to_live(number): Time_to_live, if not applicable it will not get sent.

delay_while_idle(boolean): Delay_while_idle, if not applicable it will not get sent.

priority(number): Priority, if not applicable it will not get sent.

content_available(boolean): Content_available (iOS only). Used in APNS payload to wake the client app.

restricted_package_name(string): Restricted_package_name, if not applicable it will not get sent.

multicastId(string): The multicast_id of the sent Push Notification.

numOfSuccesses(number): Number of successful deliveries.

numOfFailures(number): Number of failed deliveries.

numOfCanonicalIds(number): Number of canonical ids.

errors(array of objects): Custom error objects containing the error message and the error position from the GCM result. Will be null if there are no errors.

errorPositions(array of numbers): Array containing the error positions. Will be null if there are no errors.

deletablePositions(array of numbers): Array containing positions for deletable GCM tokens, if the error received is NotRegistered. Will be null if there are no errors.

canonicalIdsPositions(array of numbers): Array containing positions of Canonical Ids, if there are any. Will be null if there are no Canonical Ids.

canonicalIds(array of strings): Array containing the Canonical Ids, if there are any. Will be null if there are no Canonical Ids.

messageIds(array of strings): Array containing the Message Ids. Useful to check things with GCM Diagnostics in Play Store.
