node-apn has been completely re-written for v2. As such, a lot has changed
and you are encouraged to read the full documentation to understand the
implications. If you have used v1.7 or earlier then hopefully you will find
the overview below helpful to understand the changes you will need to make to
your application to make the most of Apple's new protocol.
It's worth it!
apn.Connection has been renamed to apn.Providerapn.Feedback has been removedapn.Device has been removed - all tokens are now hex-encoded stringsapn.token is provided to validate tokens and convert from Buffer if
necessarytopicpushNotification(notification, tokens) is now simply, send(notification, recipients)send returns a promise which will be fulfilled when all notifications have
been sentBelow is an example use of v1.7 and how it would be converted to use v2.0
v1.7:
function setup() {
var connection = new apn.Connection(configuration);
connection.on("transmissionError", notificationFailed);
}
func sendNotification(user) {
var note = new apn.Notification();
note.alert = "Hello " + user.name;
connection.pushNotification(note, user.token);
}
v2.0:
function setup() {
let connection = new apn.Provider(configuration);
}
function sendNotification(user) {
let note = new apn.Notification();
note.alert = "Hello " + user.name;
note.topic = "io.github.node-apn.test"
connection.send(note, user.token).then( (response) => {
response.sent.forEach( (token) => {
notificationSent(user, token);
});
response.failed.forEach( (failure) => {
if (failure.error) {
// A transport-level error occurred (e.g. network problem)
notificationError(user, failure.device, failure.error);
} else {
// `failure.status` is the HTTP status code
// `failure.response` is the JSON payload
notificationFailed(user, failure.device, failure.status, failure.response);
}
});
});
}
