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
