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 an 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 'react-native-netmera';

const netmeraInboxFilter = new NetmeraInboxFilter();

// Filter to show Read or Unread notifications
netmeraInboxFilter.status = Netmera.PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_READ_OR_UNREAD;
netmeraInboxFilter.pageSize = 10;
netmeraInboxFilter.categories = ["category_1", "category_2"];
netmeraInboxFilter.includeExpiredObjects = true;

Fetching the First Page

Use fetchInbox to retrieve notifications that match the filter:

fetchInbox = async() => {
   try{
     const netmeraInboxFilter = new NetmeraInboxFilter()
     netmeraInboxFilter.status = Netmera.PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_READ_OR_UNREAD
     netmeraInboxFilter.pageSize = 10
     netmeraInboxFilter.categories = ["category_1", "category_2"]
     netmeraInboxFilter.includeExpiredObjects = true
     const inbox = await Netmera.fetchInbox(netmeraInboxFilter)
     console.log("inbox", inbox)
   }catch(e){
     console.log("error", e)
   }
 }

Fetching Next Pages

Once the first page is retrieved, use fetchNextPage to get additional pages:

fetchNextPage = async() => {
   try{
     const inbox = await Netmera.fetchNextPage()
     console.log("inbox", inbox)
   }catch(e){
     console.log("error", e)
   }
 }

Updating Push Notification Status

Notifications can have three states:

• Unread (PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_UNREAD)

• Read (PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_READ)

• Deleted (PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_DELETED)

Use inboxUpdateStatus to change a notification's status asynchronously:

await Netmera.inboxUpdateStatus(0, 5, Netmera.PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_DELETED)

After React Native 1.5.0 Update:

With the React Native version 1.5.0 update, the usage of d.ts (declaration) files is no longer necessary in TypeScript projects.

Additionally, to access Inbox statuses, it is now done through the NMInboxStatus enum instead of the Netmera class.

For example,

import {NMInboxStatus} from "react-native-netmera";

Netmera.PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_ALL
// becomes
NMInboxStatus.STATUS_ALL

Updating The Status of All Notifications

You can update the status of all pushes inside inbox using updateAll method.

await Netmera.updateAll(Netmera.PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_READ)

await Netmera.updateAll(Netmera.PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_DELETED)

Counting Notifications by Status

Retrieve the count of notifications by status:

//get count of unread push objects
const count = await Netmera.countForStatus(Netmera.PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_UNREAD)

//get count of read push objects
const count = await Netmera.countForStatus(Netmera.PUSH_OBJECT_STATUS_READ)

After React Native 1.5.0 Update:

With the React Native version 1.5.0 update, NMInboxStatusCountFilter is now directly imported:

import {NMInboxStatusCountFilter} from "react-native-netmera";
