I am building a booking app using Ionic and Firebase.

I want to send a reminder (a push notifications) before the booking time to the user.

Does Cloud Functions for Firebase support such triggers yet? Or do I need a NodeJs server? How should I go about this?

Firebase Cloud Functions doesn't not support this feature right now. To create a time specific notification you need a server which can trigger the Cloud Messaging API.
However , you can handle this scenario at your app end where you know the time of booking and you can create a notification whatever time you like to even if when your device is not connected to internet.All you have to do is create a logic . whenever a booking is made you create a Time Triggered logic to display notification.
