Push Notifications

The Stream API doesn’t support web push notifications. However, if you’re building a mobile application using JavaScript technologies, you can set up mobile push notifications using one of the supported providers: Firebase Cloud Messaging, Apple Push Notification (APN), Huawei Push and Xiaomi Push.

Configuring push providers

More information on how to configure push providers is coming soon.

Device management

Device management lets you register your push tokens to the Stream API, which is used to deliver push notifications.

Creating a device

await client.createDevice({
  id: "<push token>",
});

Listing devices

If you want to list the devices that are registered to the current user, you should use the listDevices method:

await client.listDevices({ user_id: "<user id>" });

The device contains the following properties:

created_at: Date;
id: string;
push_provider: string;
user_id: string;
disabled?: boolean;
disabled_reason?: string;
push_provider_name?: string;
voip?: boolean;

Removing devices

await client.deleteDevice({
  id: "<device id>",
});
