Usage Notes

You can inject a SwPush instance into any component or service as a dependency.

To subscribe, call SwPush.requestSubscription(), which asks the user for permission. The call returns a Promise with a new PushSubscription instance.

A request is rejected if the user denies permission, or if the browser blocks or does not support the Push API or ServiceWorkers. Check SwPush.isEnabled to confirm status.

Invoke Push Notifications by pushing a message with the following payload.

          {  "notification": {    "actions": NotificationAction[],    "badge": USVString,    "body": DOMString,    "data": any,    "dir": "auto"|"ltr"|"rtl",    "icon": USVString,    "image": USVString,    "lang": DOMString,    "renotify": boolean,    "requireInteraction": boolean,    "silent": boolean,    "tag": DOMString,    "timestamp": DOMTimeStamp,    "title": DOMString,    "vibrate": number[]  }}

Only title is required. See Notification instance properties.

While the subscription is active, Service Worker listens for PushEvent occurrences and creates Notification instances in response.

Unsubscribe using SwPush.unsubscribe().

An application can subscribe to SwPush.notificationClicks observable to be notified when a user clicks on a notification. For example:

You can read more on handling notification clicks in the Service worker notifications guide.
