Notifications

Web Push

Setting up web push requires FCM

Go to https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/[yourprojectid]/messaging/onboarding

Web Push

You are required to set up the following environment variables

VAPID_FCM_KEY=***
VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY=***
VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY=***

You can use the novel cli to get these via

novel add vapid

and it will walk you through the steps to get these variables

You can then use the api from your controllers via

import * as push from 'novel/push';

await push.web({ to: ["account_ID"] } }, { body: "Your Message" });

Mail

Similarly, you can use the same api to send an email notification

import * as push from 'novel/push';

await push.mail({ to: ["account_ID"] } }, { body: "Your Message" });

You can modify the mail template under app/templates/mail/notification/message.tsx
