A ruby gem to communicate with Microsoft Push Notification Service.
From the commande line:
gem install ruby-mpns
Or in your gemfile:
gem 'ruby-mpns'
To use it just use the singleton MicrosoftPushNotificationService like the following:
uri = "http://my-uri.com/to/the-windows-phone-i-am-targetting"
options = {
title: "Hello !",
content: "Hello Push Notification.",
params: {
any_data: 2,
another_key: "Hum..."
}
}
# response is an Net::HTTP object
reponse = MicrosoftPushNotificationService.send_notification uri, :toast, options
