Step 2 Background processor intergration (Optional)
rails generate notification_hub:job [Background Processor] [Queue] *Background Processor: options ["active_job", "sidekiq"] *Queue: default value is "default"
Step 3 Run database migrations
rails db:migrate
Usage
Step 1
Complete gateway settings in configuration file (config/initializers/notification_hub.rb)
Example: Push notifications
config.set_channel :mobile_push_notification, {
gateway: :fcm,
server_key: "test"
}
Step 2
Define events in configuration file (config/initializers/notification_hub.rb)
Example:
config.events = {
[Event Code] => [Event Name],
"user.signed_up" => "When an user is signed up",
"user.trial_ended" => "When the trial period is ended",
"message.received" => "When a message is received"
}
Event code is namespaced by ".". For example, you can use relevant model name as the first part of the code and actual event name as the last part,
Step 2 Create message templates
Examples: URL
For emails you need to create mailers too. Example: (app/mailers/user_mailer.rb) class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base def signed_up(data, to_email) mail(to: to_email, subject: "Welcome to XYZ") end
def trial_ended(data, to_email) mail(to: to_email, subject: "[XYZ] Trial period ended") end end
