  • Use the web-push library to hide the implementation details of the communication between the application server and the push service. For details, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-webpush-protocol and https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-webpush-encryption.

    var webPush = require('web-push');

webPush.setGCMAPIKey(process.env.GCM_API_KEY);

var payloads = {};

module.exports = function(app, route) {
  app.post(route + 'register', function(req, res) {

  • A real world application would store the subscription info.

        res.sendStatus(201);

  app.post(route + 'sendNotification', function(req, res) {
    setTimeout(function() {
      payloads[req.body.endpoint] = req.body.payload;
      webPush.sendNotification({
        endpoint: req.body.endpoint,
        TTL: req.body.ttl,
      })
      .then(function() {
