How to Implementing Webpush Notification in php with FCM

Blog Firebase

In this section, write a brief summary about setting up WebPush notifications using Firebase:

WebPush notifications have become an essential way for websites to engage with users. Whether your website is open or running in the background, you can send real-time notifications directly to your users’ devices using Firebase and a few lines of code.

FCM Workflow Breakdown

I. Background Push & Service Worker

  • When your site is closed, push notifications are handled by the service worker. It intercepts notifications from Firebase and displays them to the user.
  • “We’ll write the code to register a service worker, listen for push events, and display the notification. This is crucial for enabling background notifications.”

II. Foreground Push Notifications

  • If your website is open, you can show a custom popup on the site.
  • “We’ll also handle what happens when the user is actively browsing your site and receives a push notification. We’ll display an in-app popup in addition to the regular notification.”

– Project Setup

I. Get Firebase Config

  • Log in to Firebase and create a project.
  • Download your Firebase config file (usually a firebase-config.js).
  • “Firebase provides an easy-to-use config that you’ll need to copy and paste into your project.”

II. VAPID Key or Web Push Certificate

  • Go to Project Settings -> Cloud Messaging.
  • Generate your VAPID key. This key allows your service worker to authenticate the push notifications.
  • “The VAPID key is essential for secure communication between Firebase and the user’s browser.”

III. Service Account in Firebase

  • In Project Settings, create a new Service Account. This will allow your server to authenticate and send notifications via Firebase.
  • “We’ll use this service account to securely connect our project with Firebase Cloud Messaging.”

VI. Update in Project

  • Add the Firebase configuration and VAPID key to your project.
  • Register a service worker that will handle background and foreground notifications.
  • “Now that you have all the configurations ready, we will update the code in your project to connect to Firebase and handle WebPush notifications.”
