[REQUEST] OneSignal for NodeBB

[AOKP]

Why?

As you might have seen I released the NodeBB WebView app, which uses OneSignal. As of now you have to send push notifications manually, which means that users will not receive actual notifications from the forum itself. Due to this I request a OneSignal integration with NodeBB.

Considerations

Things to consider while creating the plugin:
Every user needs an unique ID. Otherwise notifications directed at them will end up on other devices as well.

It should be possible to pass a device ID via JavaScript to the client. This device ID would then be linked to a nodebb user account. I'm thinking a custom plugin should do the trick there.

I'd be happy to take a look at doing this.

By manual install OneSignal, i have seen an error with manifest.json, this file was replaced by default manifest.json of NodeBB

NodeBB WebView App v3

@AOKP OK, I've had a first crack at a nodebb-plugin-onesignal notifier. You can give it a try here. GitHub - CCob/nodebb-plugin-onesignal: Allo...

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)

First attempt. Not ready for production use yet but can be tested if you are a developer or know what you are doing with REST calls.

Hey guys, how's it going with this? I am creating my own NodeBB Webview app with onesignal too and then I found this topic. I used the plugin but it can only send custom notifications from onesignal, it seems? @CCob @iamt2a @Chanrith @AOKP

[CCob]

@WwoeSsi Integration is comple and works bar some documentation. You will need the nodebb-onesignal-plugin and also the Android application that @AOKP wrote with my additional onesignal commits. You also need to remember to register your onw application ids and change them in your WebView app.

does this work with iOS?

[CCob]

@MBFTOM There is nothing stopping the onesignal plugin to work with iOS but there is no iOS WebView app to make use of it yet.
