Project description
Django-Webpush
===================
[](https://saythanks.io/to/safwanrahman)
Django-Webpush is a Package made for integrating and sending [Web Push Notification](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/Push_API) in Django Application.
Currently, it Supports Sending Push Notification to **Firefox 46+ and Chrome 52+**.
----------
Installation and Setup
-------------
You can install it easily from pypi by running
pip install django-webpush
After installing the package, add `webpush` in in your `INSTALLED_APPS` settings
```python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'webpush',
)
```
If you would like to send notification to Google Chrome Users, you need to add a ``WEBPUSH_SETTINGS`` entry with the **Vapid Credentials** Like following:
```python
WEBPUSH_SETTINGS = {
"VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY": "Vapid Public Key",
"VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY":"Vapid Private Key",
"VAPID_ADMIN_EMAIL": "admin@example.com"
}
```
**Replace ``"Vapid Public Key"`` and ``"Vapid Private Key"`` with your Vapid Keys. Also replace ``admin@example.com`` with your email so that the push server of browser can reach to you if anything goes wrong.**
> **To know how to obtain Vapid Keys please see this [`py_vapid`](https://github.com/web-push-libs/vapid/tree/master/python) and [Google Developer Documentation](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/push-notifications/subscribing-a-user#how_to_create_application_server_keys). You can obtain one easily from [web-push-codelab.glitch.me](https://web-push-codelab.glitch.me/). ``Application Server Keys`` and ``Vapid Keys`` both are same.**
Then include `webpush` in the `urls.py`
```python
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^webpush/', include('webpush.urls'))
]
```
`django-webpush` is shipped with built in **`jinja`** support.
If you would like to use with jinja backend,
pass ``pipeline.jinja2.PipelineExtension`` to your jinja environment. Like following:
```python
{
"BACKEND": "django_jinja.backend.Jinja2",
"OPTIONS": {
'extensions': ['webpush.jinja2.WebPushExtension'],
}
},
```
**Then run Migration by ***`python manage.py migrate`*****
Adding Web Push Information in Template
-------------------
So in template, you need to load `webpush_notifications` custom template tag by following:
- If you are using built in templating engine, add `{% load webpush_notifications %}` in the template
- If you are using **jinja** templating engine, you do not need to load anything.
Next, inside the `<head></head>` tag add `webpush_header` according to your templating engine:
```html
<head>
# For django templating engine
{% webpush_header %}
# For jinja templating engine
{{ webpush_header() }}
</head>
```
Next, inside the `<body></body>` tag, insert `webush_button` where you would like to see the **Subscribe to Push Messaging** Button. Like following
```html
<body>
<p> Hello World! </p>
# For django templating engine
{% webpush_button %}
# For jinja templating engine
{{ webpush_button() }}
</body>
```
>**Note:** The Push Notification Button will show only if the user is logged in or any `group` named is passed through `webpush` context
***If you would like to mark the subscription as a group, like all person subscribe for push notification from the template should be marked as group and would get same notification, you should pass a `webpush` context to the template through views. The `webpush` context should have a dictionary like `{"group": group_name}`*** . Like following
```python
webpush = {"group": group_name } # The group_name should be the name you would define.
return render(request, 'template.html', {"webpush":webpush})
```
> **Note:** If you dont pass `group` through the `webpush` context, only logged in users can see the button for subscription and able to get notification.
----------
Sending Web Push Notification
-------------------
A Web Push generally have a header and body. According to the W3C Specification, the data should be encrypted in transmission. the data is addressed as payload generally. Also a TTL header should be included indicating how much time the web push server store the data if the user is not online.
So in order to send notification, see below.
- If you would like to send notification to a specific group, do like following:
```python
from webpush import send_group_notification
payload = {"head": "Welcome!", "body": "Hello World"}
send_group_notification(group_name="my_group", payload=payload, ttl=1000)
# All subscribe subscribe through "my_group" will get a web push notification.
# A ttl of 1000 is passed so the web push server will store
# the data maximum 1000 seconds if any user is not online
```
- If you would like to send Notification to a specific user, do like following
```python
from webpush import send_user_notification
payload = {"head": "Welcome!", "body": "Hello World"}
send_user_notification(user=user, payload=payload, ttl=1000)
# Here in the user parameter, a user object should be passed
# The user will get notification to all of his subscribed browser. A user can subscribe many browsers.
```
**And the subscribers will get a notification like**
