How to integrate OneSignal with your Ionic app
To integrate OneSignal with your Ionic app, you can follow these steps:
1- First, create an account with OneSignal if you haven't already done so.
2- Add the OneSignal Cordova plugin to your Ionic project by running the following command in your terminal:
ionic cordova plugin add onesignal-cordova-plugin
3- Install the OneSignal plugin in your project by running the following command:
npm install @ionic-native/onesignal
4- Import the OneSignal module in your app.module.ts file:
import { OneSignal } from '@ionic-native/onesignal/ngx';
5- Add the OneSignal provider to the providers array in app.module.ts:
providers: [ OneSignal, ... ]
6- In your app.component.ts file, import the OneSignal module and inject it into the constructor:
import { OneSignal } from '@ionic-native/onesignal/ngx'; constructor(private oneSignal: OneSignal) { }
7- Initialize the OneSignal plugin in your app.component.ts file:
this.oneSignal.startInit('YOUR_ONESIGNAL_APP_ID', 'YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_NUMBER'); this.oneSignal.inFocusDisplaying(this.oneSignal.OSInFocusDisplayOption.Notification); this.oneSignal.endInit(); Note: Replace 'YOUR_ONESIGNAL_APP_ID' and 'YOUR_GOOGLE_PROJECT_NUMBER' with your actual OneSignal App ID and Google Project Number respectively.
8- Handle OneSignal notifications in your app.component.ts file:
this.oneSignal.handleNotificationReceived().subscribe(() => { // handle received notification }); this.oneSignal.handleNotificationOpened().subscribe(() => { // handle opened notification });
9- Finally, call the OneSignal APIs in your code as needed, such as subscribing and unsubscribing from notifications.
this.oneSignal.setSubscription(true); this.oneSignal.setSubscription(false);
That's it! Your Ionic app is now integrated with OneSignal and you can send push notifications to your users.
