Enabling and Disabling Services

Env variables

For Push notifications and Internal notifications we can set what service we want to use.

Push notifications

• To enable push notifications you need to update pushNotificationsServiceType variable in env file for your environment.
• Possible values of the variable are:
  1. PushNotificationsServiceType.remote
  2. PushNotificationsServiceType.local
  3. PushNotificationsServiceType.both
  4. PushNotificationsServiceType.none
• Here for context, remote service is used when dev wants to implement notifications for chat like notifications, and local service is used when dev wants to implement notifications for reminder like notifications.

PushNotificationsServiceType.remote

• If developer sets env variable value equals to PushNotificationsServiceType.remote then they have to add one more variable, because to enable remote notifications we rely on Onesignal. They can follow this section and do the configuration for one signal. When they find the one signal app id. Developer can add it using oneSignalConfig: const OneSignalConfig(appId: 'your-app-id'),.

PushNotificationsServiceType.local

• If developer sets env variable value equals to PushNotificationsServiceType.local then they can push any local notification without any additional configuration.

PushNotificationsServiceType.both

• If developer sets env variable value equals to PushNotificationsServiceType.both then they can push any local notification without any additional configuration. But for remote they need to do setup for onesignal as mentioned in this section. And both kind of services will be available.

PushNotificationsServiceType.none

• If developer sets env variable value equals to PushNotificationsServiceType.none then app will not use any kind of service and won't be able to push remote or local notifications.

Internal (in-app) notifications

• To enable internal notifications you need to update internalNotificationsServiceType variable in env file for your environment.
• Possible values of the variable are:
  1. InternalNotificationsServiceType.firebase
  2. InternalNotificationsServiceType.pusher
  3. InternalNotificationsServiceType.custom
  4. InternalNotificationsServiceType.none

InternalNotificationsServiceType.firebase

• If developer sets env variable value equals to InternalNotificationsServiceType.firebase then they have to do the setup for firebase fire store and run flutterfire configure. Read about it here.

InternalNotificationsServiceType.pusher

• If developer sets env variable value equals to InternalNotificationsServiceType.pusher then they have to do the setup for firebase fire store and run flutterfire configure. Read about it here.

InternalNotificationsServiceType.custom

InternalNotificationsServiceType.none

• If developer sets env variable value equals to InternalNotificationsServiceType.none then app will not use any kind of service and won't be able to dump internal notifications.
