@nativescript/shared-notification-delegate

This project aims to prevent the shortcomings that come from the iOS implementation of only allowing a single delegate.

Installation

npm install @nativescript/shared-notification-delegate

Usage

Import SharedNotificationDelegate and add Observers

import { SharedNotificationDelegate } from '@nativescript/shared-notification-delegate';
...

SharedNotificationDelegate.addObserver({
    delegateUniqueKey: "myUniqueKey", // ensures uniqueness, if not set or is null/undefined, allows multiple of the same
    userNotificationCenterWillPresentNotificationWithCompletionHandler: (notificationCenter, notification, handler, stop, next) => {

        console.log("notification received by observer");
        // is this notification something I should handle?
        if (shouldHandleThis) {
            // do stuff
            // intercept it and show alert
            handler(UNNotificationPresentationOptions.Alert);
            return;
        }
        // not mine, next should handle
        next();
    }
});

API

SharedNotificationDelegate Methods

Method Returns Description
addObserver(observer: DelegateObserver, priority?: number) void Adds a delegate observer of a certain priority (lower means first). Default priority is 100.
removeObserver(observer: DelegateObserver) void Removes a DelegateObserver
removeObserverByUniqueKey(key: any) void Removes a DelegateObserver by its unique key

DelegateObserver Interface

A DelegateObserver can implement 3 methods from UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate with the addition of some details:

interface DelegateObserver {
	userNotificationCenterDidReceiveNotificationResponseWithCompletionHandler?(center: UNUserNotificationCenter, response: UNNotificationResponse, completionHandler: () => void, next: () => void): void;

	userNotificationCenterOpenSettingsForNotification?(center: UNUserNotificationCenter, notification: UNNotification , stop: () => void, next: () => void): void;

	userNotificationCenterWillPresentNotificationWithCompletionHandler?(center: UNUserNotificationCenter , notification: UNNotification , completionHandler: (p1: UNNotificationPresentationOptions) => void, next: () => void): void;

	/**
	 * if set to not null/undefined, will ensure only one is registered
	 */
	delegateUniqueKey?: any;
}
  • All the functions that are parameters of the DelegateObserver object's methods are called asynchronously in a chain.

  • Calling a completionHandler immediately stops the observer chain. next() must be called if the method will not be handling the notification.

  • Calling stop() on userNotificationCenterOpenSettingsForNotification prevents the event from bubbling to the rest.

  • Only one method will be processed at a time, this means you can take as long as you want (including making http calls, for example), as long as you just call completionHandler, stop and next when you're finished.

  • If a DelegateObserver has a delegateUniqueKey, the SharedNotificationDelegate will ensure only the latest copy of the observer is present. This is especially useful if debugging with HMR, which may add multiple observers on application reload.
