Hi, I apologize in advance if it looks like I try to hijack this thread - that is not my intent. However can someone outline how to implement push notification with the sync gateway? I found the Couchbase Chat app with its push notification robots but I cannot get it too work at all. In this project the code is outdated or at least I don't understand it all which could very well be. Despite the fact that I cannot get it to work I have no idea what sync-wrangler does and there is no documentation at all.
We are very well aware of the push notification requirements such as registering devices, etc. We have the infrastructure already in place - what we miss is the ability to "listen" to the database changes and trigger a push when a push is needed. In this thread people talk about sync-wrangler, forward and other tools but we would appreciate if someone could outline what needs to be done or how to the make Chat push node application work... I truly appreciate your help.
