Web Push API

This project provides an API for sending notifications to Push API subscriptions. That's it. It only gives an endpoint for creating/updating/deleting Push API subscriptions and the tools for sending notifications to them. Nothing else.

Do not expect this project to have something from this list:

• A client-side implementation for requesting notification permission and/or subscription to push notifications.
• A UI for creating and/or sending notifications.
• A UI for managing configurations that might be needed for API.
• A queue and a worker to handle notifications dispatch.

Requirements

• PHP 7.2+ and the dependencies of https://github.com/web-push-libs/web-push-php

Installation

• Download the module and its dependencies.

  composer require drupal/web_push_api

• Install the module (e.g. drush en web_push_api).

Usage

• Generate a key-pair for Voluntary Application Server Identification (VAPID) for Web Push. Store public.key and private.key outside of your document root.

  openssl ecparam -genkey -name prime256v1 -out private.pem
  openssl ec -in private.pem -pubout -outform DER|tail -c 65|base64|tr -d '=' |tr '/+' '_-' >> public.key
  openssl ec -in private.pem -outform DER|tail -c +8|head -c 32|base64|tr -d '=' |tr '/+' '_-' >> private.key

• Do a client-side implementation (like https://github.com/Minishlink/web-push-php-example) and send a created subscription to the /web-push-api/subscription (POST, PATCH or DELETE).

  The subscription on a client should be created with contents from public.key you've generated before.

  /**
   * @param {ArrayBuffer} buffer
   *
   * @return {string}
   */
  function encodeKey(buffer) {
    return btoa(String.fromCharCode(...new Uint8Array(buffer)));
  }
  
  /**
   * @param {('POST'|'PATCH'|'DELETE')} method
   * @param {PushSubscription} pushSubscription
   */
  async function sync(method, pushSubscription) {
    fetch('https://example.com/web-push-api/subscription', {
      method,
      body: {
        user_agent: navigator.userAgent,
        // The UTC offset in hours.
        utc_offset: new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60,
        encoding: (PushManager.supportedContentEncodings || ['aesgcm'])[0],
        endpoint: pushSubscription.endpoint,
        p256dh: encodeKey(pushSubscription.getKey('p256dh')),
        auth: encodeKey(pushSubscription.getKey('p256dh')),
      },
    });
  }

  The endpoint returns the {"errors": string[]} JSON structure. The errors will contain violations messages if an action you've undertaken didn't succeed. Otherwise empty.

• Visit /admin/config/services/web-push-api/subscriptions and ensure the subscription was stored in Drupal DB.

• Use the module's API to craft and dispatch the notification.

  <?php
  
  use Drupal\Core\Utility\Error;
  use Drupal\web_push_api\Component\WebPush;
  use Drupal\web_push_api\Component\WebPushAuthVapid;
  use Drupal\web_push_api\Component\WebPushNotification;
  use Drupal\web_push_api\Component\WebPushNotificationAction;
  
  $logger = \Drupal::logger('web-push-notification');
  $webpush = new WebPush(\Drupal::entityTypeManager(), new WebPushAuthVapid('/path/to/public.key', '/path/to/private.key'));
  $storage = $webpush->getSubscriptionsStorage();
  $notification = (string) (new WebPushNotification('Hello, buddy!'))
    ->addAction(new WebPushNotificationAction('Test action', 'go-go'))
    ->setBody('This is a test notification.');
  
  foreach ($storage->loadMultiple() as $subscription) {
    $webpush->queueNotification($subscription, $notification);
  
    foreach ($webpush->flush(100) as $report) {
      if ($report->isSuccess()) {
        $logger->info('ok');
      }
      else {
        $logger->error('fail');
  
        try {
          $storage->delete([$subscription]);
          $logger->debug('subscription deleted');
        }
        catch (\Exception $e) {
          $logger->debug('unable to delete subscription');
          $logger->error(Error::renderExceptionSafe($e));
        }
      }
    }
  }

Testing

At the moment tests could not run on Drupal.org CI due to missing gmp PHP extension. However, there is a project mirror on Github to run tests on Travis CI.
