PUSH API

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The Push API gives web applications the ability to receive messages pushed to
them from a server, whether or not the web app is in the foreground, or even
currently loaded, on a user agent. This lets developers deliver asynchronous
notifications and updates to users that opt in, resulting in better engagement
with timely new content.


PUSH CONCEPTS AND USAGE

Warning: When implementing PushManager subscriptions, it is vitally important
that you protect against CSRF/XSRF issues in your app. See the following
articles for more information:

 * Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Prevention Cheat Sheet
 * Preventing CSRF and XSRF Attacks

For an app to receive push messages, it has to have an active service worker.
When the service worker is active, it can subscribe to push notifications, using
PushManager.subscribe().

The resulting PushSubscription includes all the information that the application
needs to send a push message: an endpoint and the encryption key needed for
sending data.

The service worker will be started as necessary to handle incoming push
messages, which are delivered to the onpush event handler. This allows apps to
react to push messages being received, for example, by displaying a notification
(using ServiceWorkerRegistration.showNotification().)

Each subscription is unique to a service worker. The endpoint for the
subscription is a unique capability URL: knowledge of the endpoint is all that
is necessary to send a message to your application. The endpoint URL therefore
needs to be kept secret, or other applications might be able to send push
messages to your application.

Activating a service worker to deliver a push message can result in increased
resource usage, particularly of the battery. Different browsers have different
schemes for handling this, there is currently no standard mechanism. Firefox
allows a limited number (quota) of push messages to be sent to an application,
although Push messages that generate notifications are exempt from this limit.
The limit is refreshed each time the site is visited. In Chrome there are no
limits.


INTERFACES

PushEvent

Represents a push action, sent to the global scope of a ServiceWorker. It
contains information sent from an application to a PushSubscription.

PushManager

Provides a way to receive notifications from third-party servers, as well as
request URLs for push notifications.

PushMessageData

Provides access to push data sent by a server, and includes methods to
manipulate the received data.

PushSubscription

Provides a subscription's URL endpoint, and allows unsubscribing from a push
service.

PushSubscriptionOptions

Represents the options associated with the push subscription.


SERVICE WORKER ADDITIONS

The following additions to the Service Worker API have been specified in the
Push API spec to provide an entry point for using Push messages. They also
monitor and respond to push and subscription change events.

ServiceWorkerRegistration.pushManager Read only

Returns a reference to the PushManager interface for managing push subscriptions
including subscribing, getting an active subscription, and accessing push
permission status. This is the entry point into using Push messaging.

onpush

An event handler fired whenever a push event occurs; that is, whenever a server
push message is received.

onpushsubscriptionchange

An event handler fired whenever a pushsubscriptionchange event occurs; for
example, when a push subscription has been invalidated, or is about to be
invalidated (e.g. when a push service sets an expiration time.)


EXAMPLES

Mozilla's ServiceWorker Cookbook contains many useful Push examples.
