Setup PWA with push notification , offline navigation

Store Development Mobile
1

I explored PWA setup for my account .

Below are the things that I discovered:
1)Vtex does provide a PWA extension that can be used .
2)The PWA app is working fine with Online connectivity and one can place orders from it .
3)Offline navigation for pages which are already loaded in past is happening

Below are the issues associated with it :

1.The Push Notification as elaborated in the documentation does not appear for installing the app .
https://help.vtex.com/en/tutorial/enabling-pwa-push-notifications-in-your-store-.be3ZPhbsgZSbE7h5H46pG?&utm_source=autocomplete
2. PWA app is not supporting or provide push notifications .
3.PWA app is not allowing offline navigation currently for ordering , resulting in page not found.

Can anyone assist me in set up of PWA and Push notification ?

Hi @Vaibhav1 ,

Iā€™m not sure if you got through this but as per my findings, enable pwa link works for me to install the app and check offline storage for already visited pages as you have mentioned. There is a thread which talks about sending push notifications from admin console to app which is not resolved yet as per this github issue but talks about vendor apis.
I searched for push apis within app store and found two viz. oracle webpush and pushnews.

Hi ,

I was able to get push api notifications in working state on my VTEX dev workspace. I installed Onesignal app in my workspace and admin console, tried sending messages from OneSignal dashboard to my workspace and it worked by following a couple of references:

  1. OneSignal - I used these app but you can have your own implementation by following the codebase.
  2. OneSignal documentation
  3. Google tag manager
  4. web push troubleshooting

I hope this helps someone in search of push notifications with VTEX.
