Alpha — magic_notifications is under active development. APIs may change between minor versions until 1.0.0.

Why Magic Notifications?

Managing notifications in Flutter means juggling multiple channels — database polling, platform-specific push setup for iOS/Android/Web, email delivery, and user preference logic scattered across your codebase. Every project reinvents the same boilerplate.

Magic Notifications gives you a single, unified API for every channel. One config file drives everything. One CLI command sets up your project. Channels and drivers are swappable — switch from OneSignal to another push provider without touching application code.

Config-driven notifications. Define your channels, drivers, and preferences once. Magic Notifications handles the rest.

Quick Start

1. Add the dependency

dependencies:
  magic_notifications: ^0.0.1

2. Install configuration

dart run magic_notifications install

This generates lib/config/notifications.dart, injects NotificationServiceProvider into lib/config/app.dart, wires the notificationConfig factory into lib/main.dart, and configures platform-specific setup for your selected platforms.

3. Boot the provider

The NotificationServiceProvider is automatically registered during install. On app boot, it:

• Creates the configured channels (database, push, mail)
• Initializes the push driver with your config
• Sets up background polling for database notifications
• Registers notification preferences

That's it — notifications now work across all configured channels.

---

Configuration

After running the install command, edit lib/config/notifications.dart:

Map<String, dynamic> get notificationConfig => {
  'notifications': {
    'push': {
      'driver': 'onesignal',
      'app_id': const String.fromEnvironment('ONESIGNAL_APP_ID'),
      'notify_button_enabled': false,
    },
    'database': {
      'enabled': true,
      'polling_interval': 30, // seconds
    },
    'mail': {
      'enabled': false,
    },
    'soft_prompt': {
      'enabled': true,
      'title': 'Stay Updated',
      'message': 'Get notified about important events.',
    },
  },
};

Add to .env:

ONESIGNAL_APP_ID=your-onesignal-app-id-here

All values are read at runtime via ConfigRepository — no hardcoded strings scattered across your codebase.

---

Usage

Initialize Push After Login

import 'package:magic_notifications/magic_notifications.dart';

Future<void> onLoginSuccess(User user) async {
  await Notify.requestPushPermission();
  await Notify.initializePush('user_${user.id}');
  Notify.startPolling();
}

External ID Format: Always use a prefix like user_ before the user ID. OneSignal blocks simple numeric values as external_id.

Display Notifications in UI

NotificationDropdownWithStream(
  notificationStream: Notify.notifications(),
  onMarkAsRead: (id) => Notify.markAsRead(id),
  onMarkAllAsRead: () => Notify.markAllAsRead(),
  onNavigate: (path) => MagicRoute.to(path),
)

Clean Up on Logout

Future<void> onLogout() async {
  Notify.stopPolling();
  await Notify.logoutPush();
}

---

CLI Tools

All commands use the single entry point dart run magic_notifications [command]:

Command	Description
install	Interactive wizard to set up notifications
configure	Update notification configuration
doctor	Check installation and configuration health
test	Send test notifications to verify setup
channels	List all channels and their status
publish	Copy config stub to your project
uninstall	Remove plugin integration

See the CLI Reference for all flags and options.

Architecture

App launch → NotificationServiceProvider.boot()
  → reads config via ConfigRepository
  → creates channels (database, push, mail)
  → initializes OneSignalDriver
  → Notify facade delegates to NotificationManager
  → DatabaseChannel: stream + polling lifecycle
  → PushChannel: permission → initializePush → OneSignal

Key patterns:

Pattern	Implementation
Singleton Manager	NotificationManager — central orchestrator
Strategy (Driver)	OneSignalDriver implements push driver contract
Facade	Notify — static API over NotificationManager
Service Provider	Two-phase bootstrap: register() (sync) → boot() (async)
IoC Container	All bindings via app.singleton() / app.make()
