AKLocalNotifications

Usage

Single fire notification

Notification that repeats from one Date to another with a time interval period

// The date you would like the notification to fire at
let triggerDate = Date().addingTimeInterval(300)

let firstNotification = AKNotification(identifier: "firstNotification", alertTitle: "Notification Alert", alertBody: "You have successfully created a notification", date: triggerDate, repeats: .none)

let scheduler = AkNotificationScheduler()
scheduler.scheduleNotification(notification: firstNotification)
scheduler.scheduleAllNotifications()

Repeating Notification starting at a Date

The configuration of the repetition is chosen in the repeats parameter that can be [ .none, .minute, .hourly, .daily, .monthly, .yearly] .

let firstNotification = AKNotification(identifier: "firstNotification", alertTitle: "Notification Alert", alertBody: "You have successfully created a notification", date: Date(), repeats: .minute)

let scheduler = AKNotificationScheduler()
scheduler.scheduleNotification(notification: firstNotification)
scheduler.scheduleAllNotifications()

Notification that repeats from one Date to another with a time interval period

This is useful to setup notifications to repeat every specific time interval for in a specific time period of the day.

let scheduler = AKNotificationScheduler()

// This notification repeats every 15 seconds from a time period starting from 15 seconds from the current time till 5 minutes from the current time

scheduler.repeatsFromToDate(identifier: "First Notification", alertTitle: "Multiple Notifications", alertBody: "Progress", fromDate: Date().addingTimeInterval(15), toDate: Date().addingTimeInterval(300) , interval: 15, repeats: .none )
scheduler.scheduleAllNotifications()

Note: Since this library takes care of the 64 notification limit you would want to call scheduler.scheduleAllNotifications() in your AppDelegate file as well.

Modifying elements of the notification

You can modify elements of the notification before scheduling. Publically accessible variables include:

repeatInterval, alertBody, alertTitle, soundName, fireDate, attachments, launchImageName, category

let firstNotification = AKNotification(identifier: "firstNotification", alertTitle: "Notification Alert", alertBody: "You have successfully created a notification", date: Date(), repeats: .minute)

// You can now change the repeat interval here
firstNotification.repeatInterval = .yearly

// You can add a launch image name
firstNotification.launchImageName = "Hello.png"

let scheduler = AKNotificationScheduler()
scheduler.scheduleNotification(notification: firstNotification)
scheduler.scheduleAllNotifications()

Location Based Notification

The notification is triggered when a user enters a geo-fenced area.

let center = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.335400, longitude: -122.009201)
let region = CLCircularRegion(center: center, radius: 2000.0, identifier: "Headquarters")
region.notifyOnEntry = true
region.notifyOnExit = false

let locationNotification = AKNotification(identifier: "LocationNotification", alertTitle: "Notification Alert", alertBody: "You have reached work", region: region )

let scheduler = AKNotificationScheduler()
scheduler.scheduleNotification(notification: locationNotification)
scheduler.scheduleAllNotifications()

Adding action buttons to a notification

 let scheduler = AKNotificationScheduler()
        
 let standingCategory = AKCategory(categoryIdentifier: "standingReminder")
        
 standingCategory.addActionButton(identifier: "willStand", title: "Ok, got it")
 standingCategory.addActionButton(identifier: "willNotStand", title: "Cannot")
        
 scheduler.scheduleCategories(categories: [standingCategory])

Don't forget to the set the notification category before scheduling the notification using

notification.category = "standingReminder"

Cancelling a notification

 scheduler.cancelNotification(notification: notification)
