A Node.js library for sending Web Push notifications via the Web Push Protocol, including payload encryption and VAPID key support, with legacy GCM support. It also ships a CLI for sending notifications and generating VAPID keys.
Use cases
- send web push notifications from a node.js backend
- encrypt payloads for web push messages
- generate VAPID keys for push subscriptions
- send push notifications to browsers from the command line
- support GCM legacy push delivery
- implement push notifications for a progressive web app
When to avoid
- you need to receive push messages in the browser (use service workers instead)
- your backend is not Node.js
- you need mobile-native push (APNs/FCM native SDKs)
