push-service

Mobile push services aggregator for Erlang services.

Used to send Push notifications to mobile clients from erlang server.

Supports iOS APN, Android GCM and Nokia push backends.

Easy to add new backends by implementing pusher_worker modules.

Using process pool to start pusher_workers with Poolboy

Each pusher process is defined by os_name and app_id

Usage

Add rebar dependency:

{push_service, ".*", {git, "https://github.com/hairyhum/push_service.git"}},

Add to *.app.src file:

{applications, [
push_service,
...
]}

Or start manualy:

push_service:start()

Then you can send push notifications for some devices:

-include_lib("push_service/include/push_service.hrl").
...
push_service:send_to_group(Group, Message)

Where Group::#device_group{} and Message::#message{} is defined in push_service.hrl

-typetoken() ::binary() | string().
-typeapp_id() ::binary() | string().
-typeos_name() ::atom().
-record(device_group, {
tokens::list(token()), % List of device tokens (device ids) to send toos_name::os_name(), % Atom os name (currently supported ios, android and android-nokia).app_id::app_id(), % App identifier. In IOS selects sertificate, in Android selects ApiKeydebug::boolean() % Debug flag. Used in ios to select push server
}).
-record (message, {
text=none::binary(), % Main message textbadge=none::integer(), % Badge for ios pushsound=none::binary(), % Sound for ios pushextra= [] :: [{atom(), term()}] % Other info, tat can be added in message
}).

Devices should be grouped by os_name and app_id.

Configuration

Application is configured by app_env

Configuration example (from sys.config)

{push_service, [
{workers, [ % Worker modules
{ios, apn_pusher_worker},
{android, gcm_pusher_worker},
{'android-nokia', nns_pusher_worker}
]},
{pool_args, [ % Poolboy pool arguments.
{size, 10},
{max_overflow, 20}
]},
{apn, [ % Apn worker config
{cert_dir, "etc/config/apn"}, % Directory where to look for certificates 
{feedback_fun, {mod, fun}}, % APN Feedback callback fun(app_id(), {calendar:datetime(), string()}) -> _ (optional, default defined in apn_pusher_worker)
{error_fun, {mod, fun}}, % Error callback fun((binary(), apns:status()) -> stop | _ (optional, default defined in apn_pusher_worker)
{timeout, 600000}, % Send timeout (optional, default = 600000)
{no_keyfile, false}, % True if sender should be started without certificate (optioal, default = false)
{cert_password, "foo"} % Sertificate password (optional, default = undefined)
]},
{gcm, [
{api_keys, [ % API keys for each app_id
{"com.app.one", "123"},
{"com.app.two", "456"},
]},
{error_fun, {mod, fun}} % Error callback fun(binary(), token() | {token(), token()}) -> _
]},
{nns, []} % Same as for GCM
]},

Certificates for APN should be in cert_dir under following structure:

 apn/
<app_id1>/
apn_production.pem # For debug = false
apn_development.pem # For debug = true
<app_id2>/
apn_production.pem
apn_development.pem

Worker modules

You can define your own pusher_worker.

It should implement gen_server, poolboy_worker and pusher_worker behaviours and should be listed in workers in config.

Worker module should handle gen_server:call events {send, token(), #message{}} and {send_many, [token()], #message{}}
