Re: [aerogear-dev] cordova push plugin simplification

I think there's no problem with the success handler as it is. Besides, it's handy and important the information we get from it. Why change what's working just fine?

But I agree to have a default "hidden" function for that ... but should be able to override it. Unfortunately we can't have both, either we have a successHandler or not. But really what do you want to do with your backend that depends on the successful registration with UPS? > For iOS we have these badge and sound flags we could we get rid of those > as well?

Then the pushConfig can be inlined making it look like this: > Not really understand here what you mean, could you elaborate a bit ? On iOS when you register you can add flags to enable badges (little numbers on the app icon) and sounds so if the message contains a badge but you have registered it with badge = false the badge will be ignored. The user can also change these settings. So I suggest to always set them to true and if you don't want to use a badge just don't put it in the message. push.register(onNotification, errorHandler, { > // senderID is only used in the Android/GCM case > senderID: "<senderID e.g Google Project ID only for android>", > pushServerURL: "<pushServerURL e.g http(s)//host:port/context >", > variantID: "<variantID e.g. 1234456-234320>", > variantSecret: "<variantSecret e.g. 1234456-234320>", > alias: "<alias e.g. a username or an email address optional>" > }); > > Till now all these changes can be made on the plugin, but we could take > it even further.

I'm not sure that I follow you, but what I meant is to change the android push registration logic see here: https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-android/blob/2db7eedd234aa8b2b970620... It uses the senderId to register itself with GCM and afterward it registers with UPS. Now if it would do that the other way around and the response of UPS would contain the senderId the client wouldn't need to specify it. On the cordova plugin the senderId is ignore when you are on iOS it's only used on Android so leaving it in is not a problem, just nicer to not have it at all. > That leaves variantID/secret and that is the boldest proposal.

But again I like the idea and it is worth thinking about it. Ahh didn't think about that one, right so we could still have this when you have one variant of each type? _______________________________________________ aerogear-dev mailing list aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev _______________________________________________ aerogear-dev mailing list aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev
