Using OneSignal and I'm trying to save player id to javascript variable, API unclear

Question

I have a OneSignal account hooked up to a Cordova/iOS app. I need to save the player id in my own database so I can send push notifications to specific users when tasks are due or events are happening.

I've looked at the API here: https://documentation.onesignal.com/reference#view-device but I don't know how to call a JavaScript function to save the identifier to a variable. There is no example of this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

why you need javasript to get playerIDs? while add device only it will return playerID, then store into database. then retrieve from your database. — 151291, Nov 28 '16 at 05:29

I figured it out.

window.plugins.OneSignal.getIds(function(ids) {
                //document.getElementById("OneSignalUserID").innerHTML = "UserID: " + ids.userId;
                //document.getElementById("OneSignalPushToken").innerHTML = "PushToken: " + ids.pushToken;
                alert(JSON.stringify(ids['userId']));
            });

can we store playerID into Database?, Is playerID static? – 151291 Nov 28 '16 at 05:34
