## NOTE: 
- If you are running RN < 0.30.0, you need to use react-native-fcm@1.0.15
- If you are running RN < 0.33.0, you need to user react-native-fcm@1.1.0

## Installation

- Run `npm install react-native-fcm --save`
- Run `react-native link react-native-fcm` (RN 0.29.1+, otherwise `rnpm link react-native-fcm`)

## Android Configuration

- Edit `android/build.gradle`:
```diff
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0'
+   classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
```

- Edit `android/app/build.gradle`:
```diff
  apply plugin: "com.android.application"
+ apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
```

- Edit `android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`:

```diff
  <application
    ...
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

+   <service android:name="com.evollu.react.fcm.MessagingService">
+     <intent-filter>
+       <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>
+     </intent-filter>
+   </service>

+   <service android:name="com.evollu.react.fcm.InstanceIdService" android:exported="false">
+     <intent-filter>
+       <action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT"/>
+     </intent-filter>
+   </service>

    ...
```

### Config for notification and `click_action` in Android

To allow android to respond to `click_action`, you need to define Activities and filter on specific intent. Since all javascript is running in MainActivity, you can have MainActivity to handle actions:

Edit `AndroidManifest.xml`:

```diff
  <activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
+   android:launchMode="singleTop"
    android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
+   <intent-filter>
+     <action android:name="fcm.ACTION.HELLO" />
+     <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
+   </intent-filter>
  </activity>
```

Notes:
- `launchMode="singleTop"` is to reuse MainActivity
- replace `"fcm.ACTION.HELLO"` by the `click_action` you want to match


If you are using RN < 0.30.0 and react-native-fcm < 1.0.16, pass intent into package, edit `MainActivity.java`:

- RN 0.28:

```diff
  import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
+ import android.content.Intent;

  public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

+   @Override
+   public void onNewIntent (Intent intent) {
+     super.onNewIntent(intent);
+       setIntent(intent);
+   }       
```

- RN <= 0.27:

```diff
  import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
+ import android.content.Intent;

  public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

+   @Override
+   protected void onNewIntent (Intent intent) {
+     super.onNewIntent(intent);
+       setIntent(intent);
+   }       
```

Notes:
- `@Override` is added to update intent on notification click

## IOS Configuration

### Pod approach:

Make sure you have Cocoapods version > 1.0

Install the `Firebase/Messaging` pod:
```
cd ios && pod init
pod install Firebase/Messaging
```

### Non Cocoapod approach

1. Download the Firebase SDK framework from [Integrate without CocoaPods](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#frameworks)
2. Follow the `README` to link frameworks (Analytics+Messaging)

### Shared steps

Edit `AppDelegate.m`:
```diff
+ #import "Firebase.h" // if you are using Non Cocoapod approach
+ #import "RNFIRMessaging.h"
  //...

  - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
  {
  //...
+   [FIRApp configure];
  }

+ - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)notification fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))handler {
+   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:FCMNotificationReceived object:self userInfo:notification];
+   handler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNewData);
+ }
```

### FCM config file

In [firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/), you can get `google-services.json` file and place it in `android/app` directory and get `GoogleService-Info.plist` file and place it in `/ios/your-project-name` directory (next to your `Info.plist`)
 
## Setup Local Notifications
NOTE: local notification does NOT have any dependency on FCM library but you still need to include Firebase to compile. If there are enough demand to use this functionality alone, I will separate it out into another repo

### IOS

Edit Appdelegate.m
```diff
+ -(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification 
+ {
+   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:FCMLocalNotificationReceived object:self userInfo:notification.userInfo];
+ }
```
 
### Android
Edit AndroidManifest.xml
```diff
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
+ <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
+ <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
 
  <application
+      <receiver android:name="com.evollu.react.fcm.FIRLocalMessagingPublisher"/>
+      <receiver android:enabled="true" android:exported="true"  android:name="com.evollu.react.fcm.FIRSystemBootEventReceiver">
+          <intent-filter>
+              <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
+              <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON"/>
+              <action android:name="com.htc.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON"/>
+              <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
+          </intent-filter>
+      </receiver>
  </application>
``` 
NOTE: `com.evollu.react.fcm.FIRLocalMessagingPublisher` is required for presenting local notifications. `com.evollu.react.fcm.FIRSystemBootEventReceiver` is required only if you need to schedule future or recurring local notifications


## Usage

```javascript
import FCM from 'react-native-fcm';

class App extends Component {
    componentDidMount() {
        FCM.requestPermissions(); // for iOS
        FCM.getFCMToken().then(token => {
            console.log(token)
            // store fcm token in your server
        });
        this.notificationUnsubscribe = FCM.on('notification', (notif) => {
            // there are two parts of notif. notif.notification contains the notification payload, notif.data contains data payload
        });
        this.localNotificationUnsubscribe = FCM.on('localNotification', (notif) => {
            // notif.notification contains the data
        });
        this.refreshUnsubscribe = FCM.on('refreshToken', (token) => {
            console.log(token)
            // fcm token may not be available on first load, catch it here
        });
    }

    componentWillUnmount() {
        // prevent leaking
        this.refreshUnsubscribe();
        this.notificationUnsubscribe();
        this.localNotificationUnsubscribe();
    }
 
    otherMethods(){
        FCM.subscribeToTopic('/topics/foo-bar');
        FCM.unsubscribeFromTopic('/topics/foo-bar');
        FCM.getInitialNotification().then(...);
        FCM.presentLocalNotification({
            id: "UNIQ_ID_STRING",                               // (optional for instant notification)
            title: "My Notification Title",                     // as FCM payload
            body: "My Notification Message",                    // as FCM payload (required)
            sound: "default",                                   // as FCM payload
            priority: "high",                                   // as FCM payload
            click_action: "ACTION",                             // as FCM payload
            badge: 10,                                          // as FCM payload IOS only, set 0 to clear badges
            number: 10,                                         // Android only
            ticker: "My Notification Ticker",                   // Android only
            auto_cancel: true,                                  // Android only (default true)
            large_icon: "ic_launcher",                           // Android only
            icon: "ic_notification",                            // as FCM payload
            big_text: "Show when notification is expanded",     // Android only
            sub_text: "This is a subText",                      // Android only
            color: "red",                                       // Android only
            vibrate: 300,                                       // Android only default: 300, no vibration if you pass null
            tag: 'some_tag',                                    // Android only
            group: "group",                                     // Android only
            my_custom_data:'my_custom_field_value',             // extra data you want to throw
        });
 
        FCM.scheduleLocalNotification({
            fire_date: new Date().getTime(),      //react convert is used, accept epoch time or ISO string
            id: "UNIQ_ID_STRING",    //REQUIRED! this is what you use to lookup and delete notification. In android notification with same ID will override each other
            body: "from future past",
            repeat_interval: "week" //day, hour
        })
 
        FCM.getScheduledLocalNotifications().then(...);
        FCM.cancelLocalNotification("UNIQ_ID_STRING");
        FCM.cancelAllLocalNotifications();
        FCM.setBadgeNumber();
        FCM.getBadgeNumber().then(...);
    }
}
```

### Behaviour when sending `notification` and `data` payload through GCM
- When app is not running and user clicks notification, notification data will be passed into `FCM.initialData`

- When app is running in background (the tricky one, I strongly suggest you try it out yourself)
 - IOS will receive notificaton from `FCMNotificationReceived` event
    * if you pass `content_available` flag true, you will receive one when app is in background and another one when user resume the app. [more info](http://www.rahuljiresal.com/2015/03/retract-push-notifications-on-ios/)
    * if you just pass `notification`, you will only receive one when user resume the app.
    * you will not see banner if `notification->body` is not defined.
 - Android will receive notificaton from `FCMNotificationReceived` event
    * if you pass `notification` payload. it will receive data when user click on notification
    * if you pass `data` payload only, it will receive data when in background

   e.g. fcm payload looks like:

   ```json
   {
      "to":"some_device_token",
      "content_available": true,
      "notification": {
          "title": "hello",
          "body": "yo",
          "click_action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"
      },
      "data": {
          "extra":"juice"
      }
    }
    ```

    and event callback will receive as:
    
    - Android
      ```json
      {
        "fcm": {"action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"},
        "opened_from_tray": 1,
        "extra": "juice"
      }
      ```
    
    - iOS
      ```json
      {
        "apns": {"action_category": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"},
        "opened_from_tray": 1,
        "extra": "juice"
      }
      ```

- When app is running in foreground
 - IOS will receive notification and android **won't** (better not to do anything in foreground for hybrid and send a seprate data message.)

NOTE: it is recommend not to rely on `data` payload for click_action as it can be overwritten (check [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33738848/handle-multiple-notifications-with-gcm)).

## Q & A

#### Why do you build another local notification
Yes there are `react-native-push-notification` and `react-native-system-notification` which are great libraries. However
- We want a unified local notification library but people are reporting using react-native-push-notification with this repo has compatibility issue as `react-native-push-notification` also sets up GCM.
- We want to have local notification to have similar syntax as remote notification payload.
- The PushNotificationIOS by react native team is still missing features that recurring, so we are adding it here

#### My Android build is failing
Try update your SDK and google play service

#### I can't get notification when app is killed
If you send notification with `data` only, you can only get the data message when app is in foreground or background. Killed app doesn't trigger `FCMNotificationReceived`. Use `notification` in the payload instead.

#### App running in background doesn't trigger `FCMNotificationReceived` when receiving hybrid notification [Android]
These is [an issue opened for that](https://github.com/google/gcm/issues/63). Behavior is not consistent between 2 platforms

#### Android notification is showing a white icon
Since Lollipop, the push notification icon is required to be all white, otherwise it will be a white circle.

#### iOS not receiving notification when the app running in the background
- Try adding Background Modes permission in Xcode->Click on project file->Capabilities tab->Background Modes->Remote Notifications

#### I am using Proguard
You need to add this to your `android/app/proguard-rules.pro`:
```
# Google Play Services
-keep class com.google.android.gms.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.google.android.gms.**
```

#### How do I tell if user clicks the notification banner?
Check open from tray flag in notification. It will be either 0 or 1 for iOS and undefined or 1 for android. I decide for iOS base on [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20569201/remote-notification-method-called-twice), and for android I set it if notification is triggered by intent change.

#### Android notification doesn't vibrate/show head-up display etc
All available features are [here](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/http-server-ref#notification-payload-support). FCM may add more support in the future but there is no timeline. If you need these features now, send notification with `data` only and creating notification locally is the only way.
Or you can send `data` using FCM and build a local notification

#### How do I do xxx with FCM?
check out [official docs and see if they support](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options)

#### I want to add advanced feature that FCM doesn't support for remote notification
You can either wait for FCM to develop it or you have to write native code to create notifications
for iOS, you can do it in `didReceiveRemoteNotification` in `appDelegate.m`
for android, you can do it by implementing a service similar to "com.evollu.react.fcm.MessagingService"
Or if you have a good way to wake up react native javascript thread please let me know, although I'm worring waking up the whole application is too expensive.

#### Some features are missing
Issues and pull requests are welcome. Let's make this thing better!
 
#### Thanks
Local notification implementation is inspired by react-native-push-notification by zo0r
