[Project] New NotificationPusher version 🎉

[Ph3nol]

Hey there,

I plan to develop a new version of NotificationPusher this year, including many new features, and a Dockerized standalone microservice (K8s ready). 🙌🕺 Don't worry, this current version will continue to exist as a legacy version.

This lib has been writen in 2013. 😵 After 1K+ stars on Github and 1M+ installations, it could be great to develop a new opus of it! Of course, this new version will respect all current PHP standards: DDD & TDD powered!

Some questions for you:

• What do you think about it?
• Any ideas or suggestions for this new version?

I take this message to thank all the contributors! THANK YOU, you rocks guys! 💪❤️

Feel free to sponsor this project with clicking the Github "Sponsor" button! 🤩 If this allows, I will push the project further (hosted mode, SaaS service and more).

@Ph3nol hello, I'm interested to help, maybe. Sounds very good for me to add some DDD flavor into the code, I like DDD a lot. :)

My question is - why not continue with v3 development with refactoring instead of re-writing from scratch? Have you checked this discussion? :) https://github.com/Ph3nol/NotificationPusher/issues/146#issuecomment-320324687

I had a plan in my head also, to do it gradually into v3:

• change tests coverage to PhpUnit (since it is a standard in PHP)
• change implementation for IOS from outdated Zend to suggested lib edamov/pushok with k8 support.
• refactor and drop support for php5.

Does it make sense or not really? :smile:

[Ph3nol]

It definitely makes sense! 😄

@seyfer I had your e-mail. I'll answer you ASAP! 😉

• Symfony 5 is released a couple of weeks ago, so the dependencies on Symfony components should be updated to include Symfony 5 (when I start to migrate my Symfony project I might take a look at this lib and check where compatibility issues occur, if I find some time)
• I would not drop support for php5 yet... give it another year?

[seyfer]

@wumke I set it to 5 in this PR https://github.com/Ph3nol/NotificationPusher/pull/195 please review if you have time :slightly_smiling_face:

UPD; actually it is not really possible to allow Symfony 5 until we support PHP5.6 because Symfony 5+ requires php7.2 as the minimum version.

UPD2; actually, from Symfony 4+ they bumped minimum PHP version to 7.1. so for this library Symfony 3.4 is maximum, until php5.6 support will be dropped. Symfony <5 was set here https://github.com/Ph3nol/NotificationPusher/pull/167, which means it includes 4.0 +, but the build will not pass for php5.6 if composer.lock updated.

I'm looking for Symfony 5 support, or I will need to stay on Symfony 4 for a while. How did this v3.0 project go? Is there somewhere else to look for this version 3.0?

[seyfer]

Nobody ever had time. @efreed open-source runs on contributions. You are welcome to help. Otherwise, this library declared as deprecated and you are free to use any other.

Update: I replaced NotificationPusher in my project with one file per device type that's less than 100 lines.

I'll share them here for anyone interested. https://gist.github.com/efreed/89b64d4c0c2a760466dca170b11e10eb

I don't have experience making files like this into an official composer dependency, if anyone wants to take the code and make it official, go for it, it's yours!
