I've been going around in circles today trying to figure out the best approach, but I'm still lost. Hoping someone here or the Telerik forums has the answer.
My user has a group of records with dates. I need to send a single push notification to the user for each unique date in that data.
I can create this push notification on the client side (appbuilder hybrid app) when a record is created. However, the client sdk for notifications only exposes create, not read or delete. That means -
- I can't make sure there's only one notification per device, even if there are multiple records with the same date.
- I can't change/remove the existing push notification if the date in a record is changed.
I thought about using Telerik Cloud Code for Data... But the sdk doesn't expose read/delete. I'd have to read all notifications for that User Id from the REST service and then determine which need to be updated/removed. That sounds like a mess of code for a scenario which I would consider somewhat normal. I'm also concerned about timing out, since there's a 5 second limit on cloud code for data.
So, what's the best way to manage my push notifications in Telerik backend services?
