A Node.js module for interfacing with the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) using the HTTP/2 provider API. It maintains persistent connections for batching and automatically resends unsent notifications on errors.
Use cases
- send push notifications to iOS devices from Node.js
- integrate APNs into a backend server
- deliver notifications using token-based authentication
- batch high-throughput push notification delivery
- connect to APNs through an HTTP proxy
When to choose
- you need to send Apple push notifications from a Node.js application
- you want HTTP/2 token-based (p8) authentication with APNs
- you need reliable delivery with automatic retry of failed notifications
When to avoid
- you need push notifications for Android (use FCM instead)
- you want a actively developed library - the project is seeking maintenance help
- you are not using Node.js
