Copy Push to Notification Inbox - Flutter

Flutter WebEngage Inbox is a powerful and user-friendly library that enhances your Flutter app's notification management capabilities by providing an inbox for organizing and accessing missed notifications. This library enables you to effortlessly deliver, store, and retrieve important notifications within your app.

Prerequisites

To get started with integrating Notification Inbox make sure:

• Make sure that SDK authentication is enabled. (You can enable it by following the steps in this document)
• Once the Intialization steps mentioned in this document are completed, you can raise a request to us on [email protected] to enable this feature.

Installation

• Step 1: Integrate the WebEngage SDK by following the steps mentioned in this doc.
• Step 2: Add dependency in pubspec.yaml

we_notificationinbox_flutter: ^1.0.0

Initialize the Notification Inbox

Step 1: Initialize the WebEngage Notification Inbox SDK by calling WENotificationInbox().init();. This needs to be done only once, and right after the WebEngage SDK Plugin initialization.

In main.dart file after initializing the WebEngage plugin, call the initialization of the NotificationInbox plugin in initState method.

import 'package:we_notificationinbox_flutter/we_notificationinbox_flutter.dart';

 WENotificationInbox().init();

Fetch Notification Count

The getNotificationCount() function allows you to retrieve the count of unread notifications, making it easier to keep track of pending alerts.

Functional Signature:

getNotificationCount()

Returns:

This method returns a numeric value representing the total count of notifications in the WebEngage Inbox.

Usage:

final _weNotificationinboxFlutterPlugin = WENotificationinboxFlutter();
...
Future<void> getNotificationCount() async {
    String notificationCount = "0";
    WENotificationResponse weNotificationResponse = await _weNotificationInboxFlutterPlugin.getNotificationCount();
    if(weNotificationResponse.isSuccess) {
      if (kDebugMode) {
      notificationCount = weNotificationResponse.response;
        print("WebEngage-Sample-App: notificationCount in the sample App \n ${weNotificationResponse.response}");
      }
    } else {
      if (kDebugMode) {
        print("WebEngage-Sample-App: Exception occurred while accessing Notification Count \n ${weNotificationResponse.errorMessage} ");
      }
    }
  }

Reset Notification Count

The resetNotificationCount() function is designed to handle the event when the user clicks on the notification icon within the application. Its key functionality is to reset the notification count to 0, signifying that the user has acknowledged and viewed the notifications and that there are no pending unread alerts.

Function Signature:

resetNotificationCount();

Usage:

// Function to handle the notification icon click event
void onNotificationIconClick() {
  // Code to handle the notification icon click event

  // Resets the notification count to 0
  _weNotificationinboxFlutterPlugin.resetNotificationCount();
}

Fetch Notification List

The getNotificationList function allows you to retrieve the list of notifications from the WebEngage Inbox. It offers pagination support by accepting an offset object as a parameter. By providing different offset values, you can fetch the initial list or subsequent notification items, making it easier to manage and display notifications in your app.

Function Signature:

getNotificationList(offsetJSON: offset)

Parameters:

Returns:

This method returns an object containing the notificationData. The notificationData object contains two properties:

Usage:

1. Fetch the Initial List of Notifications:

Future<void> fetchNotificationList() async {
    Map<String, dynamic> fetchedNotifications;
      WENotificationResponse weNotificationResponse =
        await _weNotificationInboxFlutterPlugin.getNotificationList();
      if (weNotificationResponse.isSuccess) {
      Map<String, dynamic> fetchedNotificationList =
          weNotificationResponse.response;
      // handle success
    } else {
      var errorMessage = weNotificationResponse.errorMessage;
      // handle error
    }
  }

📘

Please Note

To optimize data retrieval,getNotificationList method fetches a batch of 10 items in the notificationList. Pagination can be used to access further batches beyond the initial 10, facilitating efficient navigation and data retrieval for managing notification lists.

2. Fetch the Next Set of Notifications:

Future<void> fetchNext() async {
    Map<String, dynamic> fetchedNotifications;
    var offset = _notificationList[_notificationList.length - 1];
    WENotificationResponse weNotificationResponse =
        await _weNotificationInboxFlutterPlugin.getNotificationList(offsetJSON: offset);
    if (weNotificationResponse.isSuccess) {
      Map<String, dynamic> fetchedNotificationList =
          weNotificationResponse.response;
      // handle success
    } else {
      var errorMessage = weNotificationResponse.errorMessage;
      // handle error
    }
  }

👍

Keep in Mind

hasNext property indicates whether there are furthermore items in the pagination list beyond the current page or not, facilitating efficient navigation and data retrieval.
