Overview

DjNotification is a Django app designed to facilitate real-time notification management in a Django project. It provides features similar to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) with WebSocket integration for seamless communication.

• Notification Types: Send various types of notifications, such as cards, modals, image-only, and top banners.

• User Subscriptions: Allow users to subscribe and unsubscribe from notification groups.

• Django Admin Integration: Manage subscriptions, groups, and notifications through the Django admin interface.

• REST API Support: Use Django REST Framework to create, retrieve, and paginate notifications through API endpoints.

• Scheduled Notifications: Admin can schedule notifications for the future by setting a specific time for them to be sent.

• Expiration Time for Notifications: Notifications can have an expiration time, and users who join a group with active notifications can receive those notifications.
