Description 

Author

This package can queue and push notifications to Web users.

It can register the interest of users to receive notifications from the server by creating user subscriptions.

The package provides means to queue notification messages to be sent to users of an application by storing them in a database.

Then it can return queued messages, so they can be shown to Web uses on a Web page using custom JavaScript code that pulls the messages from the server using this package.

The package can also automatically delete expired messages and no longer valid subscriptions.

Web based push notifications are useful to let users of a site know about anything new that happens on a site that may be of the interest of those users.

This package provides a complete solution to register users interested to subscribe to get notifications from a site, queue notifications to be pushed to the users when they come to the site, and even perform maintenance on the notifications and subscriptions created by the users.

/**
 * Example to send your push notifications.
 *
 * For easy setup we use the SQLite dataprovider and set the database file
 * located in the same directory as this script.
 *
 * First you should open PNTestClient.html in your browser and click the
 * [Subscribe] button to create a valis subscription in your database.
 *
 * Needed steps to send notification to all subscriptions stored in our database:
 * 1. Create and init dataprovider for database containing at least one valid subscription
 * 2. Set our VAPID keys (rename MyVapid.php.org to MyVapid.php ans set your own keys)
 * 3. Create and set the payload
 * 4. Load the subscriptions from the dataprovider
 * 5. And push the notification
 *
 * After the notification was pushed, a summary and/or a detailed log can be
 * retrieved from the server
 *
 * If you want to log several events or errors, you can pass any PSR-3 compliant
 * logger of your choice to the PNDataProvider- and PNServer-object.
 *

PNServer - Web Push Notifications for your Homepage

Latest Stable Version License Donate Minimum PHP Version PHPStan Scrutinizer Code Quality codecov

With this package, web push notifications can be created, encrypted and sent via HTTP request. The subscriptions can be saved and managed. Optionally, the package automatically deletes expired or no longer valid subscriptions. The JavaScript code required on the client side is also included in the package - this has to be slightly adapted to your own project.

> Important: > > The client side of this package works with the Javascript Notification API, which is only available in a secure context (HTTPS). Thus, the complete package also depends on running in a secure context (also in the test environment - unless both the server and the client run on the *'localhost'*). > > Here you can read more about how to set up a secure context in the local development environment.

required PHP Libraries

  • cURL (curl)
  • Multibyte String (mbstring)
  • OpenSSL (openssl)
  • GNU Multiple Precision (gmp)
  • BC Math (bcmath)

there are no dependencies to other external libraries!

Installation

You can download the Latest release version from PHPClasses.org

required adaptions for your own project (in PNServiceworker.js):

  // VAPID appPublic key
  const strAppPublicKey   = 'create your own VAPID key pair and insert public key here';
  // URL to save subscription on server via Fetch API
  const strSubscriberURL  = 'https://www.your-domain.org/PNSubscriber.php';
  // default Notification Title if not pushed by server
  const strDefTitle       = 'Your company or product';
  // default Notification Icon if not pushed by server
  const strDefIcon        = './elephpant.png';

There are several websites where you can generate your own VAPID key. E.g.:

Usage

A tutorial describing the individual steps for using the package is available at PHPclasses.org.

PnTestClient.html shows a simple example Page to subscribe the push notifications.

PNTestServer.php demonstrates, how the Notification Server can be implemented:

rename MyVapid.php.org to MyVapid.php and set your own keys:

  $oVapid = new PNVapid(
      "mailto:yourmail@yourdomain.de",
      "your-generated-public-key",
      "your-generated-private-key"
  );

Logging

This package can use any PSR-3 compliant logger. The logger is initialized with a NullLogger-object by default. The logger of your choice have to be passed to the constructor of the PNDataProvider and set via setLogger() method to the PNServer.

If you are not working with a PSR-3 compatible logger so far, this is a good opportunity to deal with this recommendation and may work with it in the future.

There are several more or less extensive PSR-3 packages available on the Internet.

You can also take a look at the 'XLogger' package and the associated blog 'PSR-3 logging in a PHP application' as an introduction to this topic.
