Electrolytic

A suite of features to make your desktop apps even more powerful 💪

🔎 Analytics; how many users, what platforms, where're they from?
☁️ Cloud config; JSON object that you can change via our dashboard and your app can access via this package, instantly.
⚡️ Push notifications; send silent (or loud) information from your servers to your app and users.

... and much more for electron apps.

This package is:

🚀 Lightweight (under 10KB gzipped). Yes, we're aware of and fully relate to the memes about the size of node_modules 😂
👌 is not dependent on any other package, only core code. We wrote every bit of it ourselves. No threat of package compromise!
🏎 Performant. It uses the bare-minimum resources to keep your app running faster. Not a memory hog.
🔐 Privacy-respecting. It only collects and sends the data to our servers when you tell it to. Respecting your app's and its users' privacy.

Install it (please 🙏)

Then do the thing, you know, the thing:

npm install --save electrolytic

Use it in your app!

const Electrolytic = require('electrolytic')

const electrolytic = Electrolytic({
  appKey: '<Your-App-Key>',
})

// when app starts
electrolytic.on('token', (token) => {
  // send this token to your server, you'll need it to send a push
  console.log('user token', token);
})

// when you use that <token> to send push via server POST
electrolytic.on('push', (payload) => {
  console.log('got push notification', payload) // hola, here's a push!
})

// when you update the config on our dashboard. It's pushed to all the apps in realtime 🙀
electrolytic.on('config', (updatedConfig) => {
  console.log('look ma, updated config!', updatedConfig)
})

Sending a push (and ❤️) from your server

Simply send a POST request to https://api.electrolytic.app/push/send

with JSON body having following schema:

{
  "appKey": "<You-App-Key>",
  "appSecret": "<Your-App-Secret>",
  "target": ["<token>"], // should be an array. multiple tokens can be used to send the same push to all of them.
  "payload": "hola, here's a push!" // can also be a JSON object
}

❤️ is optional... well, I mean its not required.. Don't send it, seriously.
