Push Inbox

Push Inbox Overview

NetmeraInbox allows you to access and manage previously sent push notifications in an inbox-style interface. You cannot instantiate NetmeraInbox directly; instead, you must obtain an instance through the SDK and use it to interact with push notifications.

Filtering Notifications

Create a NetmeraInboxFilter instance to specify which push notifications to fetch. You can filter by:

  • Status: Read, Unread, or Deleted.

  • Categories: Filter by specific categories.

  • Expired Notifications: Include or exclude expired notifications.

  • Page Size: Number of notifications to fetch per request.

Here is a sample code to determine filtering options:

import { Netmera, NetmeraInboxFilter } from '@awesome-cordova-plugins/netmera/ngx'

     const netmeraInboxFilter = new NetmeraInboxFilter()
   
 

Netmera Inbox Object

 export interface NetmeraInboxFilter {
    status?: number;
    pageSize?: number;
    categories?: string[];
    includeExpiredObjects?: boolean;
}

Fetching the First Page

Use fetchInbox() to retrieve notifications that match the filter:

 fetchInbox() { 
        let newFilter: NetmeraInboxFilter = {
        status: NetmeraPushStatus.all,
        pageSize: 1
      }
      this.netmera.fetchInboxUsingFilter(newFilter).then(inbox => {
        console.log("FetchInbox Success: ", JSON.stringify(inbox));
      }).catch(err => {
        console.log("FetchInbox Error", err);
      });
    }

Fetching Next Pages

Once the first page is retrieved, use netmera.fetchNextPage() to get additional pages:

this.netmera.fetchNextPage().catch(inbox => {
     console.log("FetchNextPage: ");
   }).catch(err => {
     console.log("FetchNextPage error: ",err);
   });

Updating Push Notification Status

Notifications can have three states:

  • Unread

  • Read

  • Deleted

Use updateStatus to change a notification's status asynchronously:

this.netmera.updatePushStatus(index, length, NetmeraPushStatus.read).then(result => {
      console.log("Update Status: ", result);
    }).catch(err => {
      console.log("Update Error: ", err);
    });

Counting Notifications by Status

Retrieve the count of notifications by status:

//get count unread push objects
    this.netmera.countForStatus(NetmeraPushStatus.unread).then(count => {
      console.log("Count: ", count);
    }).catch(err => {
      console.log(err);
    });
