This is a great introduction to regular notifications, but these are NOT push notifications, the video title is misleading. In order to make push notifications, you must pair the Notification API with the Push API (see MDN docs) in server workers. You should update the title of the video to reflect that.
My take away from this tutorial i just watched because it sounded interesting is: i know it exists, i know it is easy to do, i know where to find a tutorial. Thanks a lot Kyle
Correction: this is known as a local notification, not a push notification. They are both part of the umbrella term of notifications but have entirely different implementations. A push notification is triggered with data sent from a remote origin, typically an APN (iOS), GCP (Android) or via the web push API connected to a remote server. The remote data provider pushes the data to the client, hence the term 'push notification'. A local notification is triggered from within a web page or app, and does not rely on a remote origin to provide data. The local notification can be displayed with data retrieved from a remote source, but this is not the same as a push notification.
this is what I've been looking for the entire video. I made a push notification with node NodeJS and I could still remember that there is VAPID thing you need to be able to send push notification. I was confused when he said you can send push notification with just client-side JavaScript.
It is super easy to learn stuff about the notifications API, so it does not require much research, but the point still stands that he makes nice explanations. And that is all that matters. :thumbsup:
@@ahmad98282 no, you did not say that the notifications API is super easy and needs no research at all, you can literally just read the docs, there is no need for a tutorial, but I am not saying that this is a worthless video
I'm the guy who told you to blink your eyes a bit more when you only had like 7k subscribers. Congratulations on 1 million, also you are doing good with blinking 👁️💪
great video about notifications! but beware! notifications only, not push notifications! for push notifications you must first subscribe to push notifications on a web page / site, and then the server will send those push notifications, no matter if the browser is on that page or that page is closed; of course, after receiving a push notification you will show it to the user like the examples in this video
@@ksrele yes you need a service worker on the client to listen for the notifications and you need some cryptography to communicate between the server and the client.
Nice tutorial, thanks! Please do a tutorial on PWA & Web push notifications (for when the browser is closed to keep receiving notifications). They are kinda complex, but I think you will be able to explain them very clearly.
Thanks for the tutorial... As in my case of Win10, go to [Settings] -> [System] -> [Notifications and Actions] then turn on [Get notifications from apps and other senders] and everything works fine...
Great tutorial! Though the JS notification api isn’t fully supported on phones. It isn’t even possible on IOS as of now and chrome on android needs service workers. Just additional information :)
As mentioned by @chronSyn below this is not a push notification, that requires a backend service to 'push' the notification based on some event to the browser even when you are not viewing the page. Google has a push api but most are paid and a little complex to implement.
Actually you‘re developing „Local Notifications“. These aren‘t real „push“ notifications while the web app or app is closed. For real push notifications you need a middleware (like FCM) the Connection to the Providers (Apple, Google,…) and your own backend (like nodejs) where you‘re sending out real push notifications.
I don’t think I’m being pedantic when I say that local notifications, the obvious subject of this video, are not push notifications. This is a pretty clickbaity title.
Trying to wrap my head around how this could be useful... Doesn't seem to add anything that you couldn't do yourself as he's basically using them as info modals... I'd like to create some, but my site is multi-user (like most sites) and this solution would send a notification to EVERYONE (which is not ideal in 99% of cases)... So, I guess real push notifications HAVE to come from the back end, else they are just modals... no?
@@SLRModShop they are not modals and can be shown outside of the browser window. The usability of this is pretty limited, but let’s say you have a page that periodically polls some data or similar, and notifies the user when something in particular comes up. With local notifications (and a browser that doesn’t suspend JavaScript execution) the user could be doing something else in a different tab, or even a different app, and get notified even tho the browser might be minimized.
@@crkvend oooh, that's a good call... I'm trying to minimize the amount of calls to the database but yeah, that's definitely an option to use the front to poll the back and act on that... Ok... Now I have some thinking to do ^-^ Might be more powerful than I realise...
With all this said, I no way wanted to bash Kyle, I’ve been a professional developer for more that 10 years and still keep learning new things from his videos!
Cool video Kyle. Can u pls create video about web push notifications? About Servise Workers and other thinks, that needs for webpush notifications? Interesting also how webpush notifications works in deeffrent browsers, especially in Safari
Would have really liked to see how the Notifications look and work for mobile usage. Also interesting would be the mobile Notifications on a PWA, which looks and feels like a mobile App.

So the notification done in this way would work if the user is not with the page opened?

thank you for the correction, if not because you, i'll misguided too
This guy is God sent. The explanation is sooo clean
Your tutorials are the best for me through the whole youtube. Useful information in every seconds, and nothing else.
This is great. Would be even better if we got a video on the Push API :)
Exactly. But pls avoid firebase. Custom nodejs app is way better in terms of customization and controle
Thank you Kyle. I'm from Uzbekistan and Im learning web programming. You really simplify the web!
Too good and an excellent addition to my code arsenal. Long live mate.

Do you need background workers for this to work?
@Web Dev Simplified can you make a tutorial on workers, what they are and how to use them?
@@ksrele yes you need a service worker on the client to listen for the notifications and you need some cryptography to communicate between the server and the client.
It's been great to have this video posted recently as I've been thinking about how to do this for my app. Thank you so much
