I am developing an Web Application that uses GCM for push notifications. I am following this documentation. I am having problem with initializeState function in docs.
This is how I added service worker script: I just created a service-worker.js empty file and pointed to this file in code to register service. Totally empty file.
This is my JavaScript code
<script type="text/javascript">
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
navigator.serviceWorker.register("{{ url('js/service-worker.js') }}").then(initialiseState).catch(function(error){
alert('Unable to register service worker for notification')
});
} else {
alert('Your browser does not support service worker that is used to receive push notification');
}
function subscribe()
{
alert('Subscribed')
}
function unsubscribe()
{
alert('Unsubscribed')
}
// the problem is inside this function. This function is called after service worker registration
function initialiseState() {
if (!('showNotification' in ServiceWorkerRegistration.prototype)) {
alert("Notification is not supported in this browser")
return;
}
if (Notification.permission === 'denied') {
alert('Notifications are blocked')
return;
}
if (!('PushManager' in window)) {
alert('Push messaging is not supported in thiss browser');
return;
}
// Every code working until here. I already checked using else if to statement.
// We need the service worker registration to check for a subscription
navigator.serviceWorker.ready.then(function(serviceWorkerRegistration) {
//The problem is here. It is not alerting anything
alert('Ready to check')
});
}
</script>
I commented in the code to highlight where the problem is. What I know is it should alert anything if it is working. So it is not alerting anything. So I cannot do other steps. I checked the console and it is not showing any error. Is it not working because my service-worker.js is empty? If not, how can I fix my code to work?
