MIGRATION GUIDE

Para los que usábamos la versión de submodulo revisar la guía de migración para actualizar a esta librería.

Post-installation

Notifications API uses TypeORM as ORM. It relies on 3 tables in order to work properly.

• notifications
• notification_logs
• notification_black_list

It works out the box if synchronize is turned on. If it is off then there are a couple of options that you can use:

• create the tables manually using the init.sql script.
• generate the migrations pointing to the location of the entities of this package.

    entities: [
        '...',
        './node_modules/@globaluy/notifications/src/entities/**/*.entity{.ts,.js}',
      ],
  

• run existing migrations in this package's migration folder.

How to use it.

Create notifications.config file in config folder of the root project:

//see configuration sample below.
export const notifications = () => ({
   return {
    enabled: env.SEND_EMAILS,
    whitelist: env.EMAILS_WHITE_LIST?.split(','),
    maxAttempts: 2,
    sendLimit: 100,
    account: {
      port: Number(env.EMAIL_SMTP_PORT),
      host: String(env.EMAIL_HOST),
      username: String(env.EMAIL_USER),
      password: String(env.EMAIL_PASSWORD),
      alias: env.EMAIL_FROM,
    },
    from: String(env.EMAIL_FROM),
    templates: String(env.EMAIL_TEMPLATES_PATH),
    push: {
      enabled: env.SEND_PUSH,
      credentialJson: env.FIREBASE_CREDENTIAL_JSON,
      parallelLimit: Number(env.FIREBASE_PARALLEL_LIMIT),
    },
    //configurada en Docker compose
    stopCron: Boolean(+process.env.STOP_CRON),
    slack: {
      enabled: env.SEND_SLACK,
      appToken: env.SLACK_APP_TOKEN,
    },
    twilio: {
      enabled: env.SEND_TWILIO,
      accountSid: env.TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID,
      authToken: env.TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN,
      from: env.TWILIO_FROM,

  NotificationsService,
} from '@globaluy/notifications';

@Module({
  providers: [
    ...
    {
      provide: NOTIFICATION_SERVICE_TOKEN,
      useClass: NotificationsService,
    },
  ],
  imports: [],
  exports: [...],
})
export class Module {}

Import it

import { NotificationsService } from "@globaluy/notifications";

Inject NotificationsService dependency.

constructor(
    private notificationsService: NotificationsService,
    ...
  ) {}

Create notification message and invoke create or createAndSendImmediately.

const notification = {
  subject: this.options.mailNewUserSubject,
  to: user.email,
  template: this.options.mailNewUserTemplate,
  context: JSON.stringify({
    fullName: `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`,
    email: user.email,
    url,
    currentYear: new Date().getFullYear(),
    urlLogo: `${this.options.publicAssets}/${this.options.logoName}`,
  }),
};
return this.notificationsService.createAndSendImmediately(notification);

SLACK

Sample message

const message = {
  channelId: "<channel id>",
  title: "Cars Database Appointment Service",
  description: "esto es una prueba",
  moreInfo: "y esto es mas info.",
  type: NotificationAlertType.WARN,
  values: {
    Cause: "Cannot create appointment",
    StatusCode: "BAD REQUEST",
  },
};

slack settings

A bot needs to be created, and from there we could get the token value The bot needs to be added to the channel we pretend to send messages to. We get channel id from the channel info modal in slack

export enum NotificationKind {
  EMAIL = 'email',
