Multiple apps and database backed certificates about rapns

[ileitch]

Yes I'd like to add this ability. My concerns are:

1. Keep rapns simple to setup for users with only a single app/certificate.
2. Make the upgrade process painless (I assume these changes will require changes to the rapns.yml layout).

Also, this may not be the case for your application. But I'd like to investigate decoupling rapns from Rails as part of this. Some users wanting this feature may have multiple Rails applications, but will require only a single rapns daemon. Having to deploy one of those Rails apps just to house rapns makes for a rather awkward deployment process.

I'll investigate this further over the next couple of days.

I guess the easiest way for decoupling would be to provide a backend class to store the notifications, having perhaps a file based backend in addition to the activerecord backend. The backend class would implement something like save(notification) and dequeue. Then the notification object would become a simple Object subclass wrapping the notification info.

Anyway thanks for looking into this, if I can help, just let me know.

I have just pushed multi-app support to master. Would you also give it a try?

To configure your apps you add a section to rapns.yml, e.g:

  app1:
    certificate: production.pem
    certificate_password:    
    connections: 3

  app2:
    certificate: production.pem
    certificate_password:    
    connections: 3

n = Rapns::Notification.new
n.app = "app1"
...

Would it be possible to specify the config at runtime? Our certificates live in the db.

OK, I have now change master to read App configuration from the database.

app = Rapns::App.new
app.key = 'my_app'
app.environment = 'production'
app.certificate = File.read('production.pem')

Please give it a try. I'm also thinking it'd be nice to monitor Rapns::App and start/stop delivery handlers as needed.

Great.

I am working on another project for a few day, but I'll be back on the rails application very soon. I'll try that fully then.

What is the full format for specifying multiple apps in rapns.yml? I tried to simply add the app sections inline to no avail.

[ileitch]

I've changed that, apps are now added by creating an Rapns::App. See the readme.
Note that this functionality in only in mater currently, not a gem.

This is now supported in 2.0.0.
