cordova-plugin-fcm - FCMPlugin is not defined

Question

I am using Ionic 2, and am trying to get Push Notifications working.

I have registered my app with Firebase, and can push notifications to it successfully.

I now need to set up, so that I can push notifications from my app. So I decided to use the following Cordova Plugin (cordova-plugin-fcm).

Question 1

When I follow it's instructions, by doing the following in my Ionic app:

app.ts

declare var FCMPlugin;
...

  initializeApp() {
    this.platform.ready().then(() => {
...
    FCMPlugin.getToken(
      function (token) {
....

I get the following Error at runtime:

EXCEPTION: Error: Uncaught (in promise): ReferenceError: FCMPlugin is not defined

How do I solve this please?

Question 2

In order to send notifications from your app, the Cordova Plugin (cordova-plugin-fcm) instructs the following:

//POST: https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send 
//HEADER: Content-Type: application/json 
//HEADER: Authorization: key=AIzaSy******************* 
{
  "notification":{
    "title":"Notification title",  //Any value 
    "body":"Notification body",  //Any value 
    "sound":"default", //If you want notification sound 
    "click_action":"FCM_PLUGIN_ACTIVITY",  //Must be present for Android 
    "icon":"fcm_push_icon"  //White icon Android resource 
  },
  "data":{
    "param1":"value1",  //Any data to be retrieved in the notification callback 
    "param2":"value2"
  },
    "to":"/topics/topicExample", //Topic or single device 
    "priority":"high", //If not set, notification won't be delivered on completely closed iOS app 
    "restricted_package_name":"" //Optional. Set for application filtering 
}

This is not even Typescript or Javascript. So where does it go? I just don't understand. Any advise appreciated.

Answer 1

i had same eror.

try this. it will definitely help you.

  if (typeof FCMPlugin != 'undefined') {

      FCMPlugin.getToken(function (token) {
          console.log(token);
      });
  }

i put above "if condition" and it solves my issue.

You should have FCMPlugin.js included in your HTML index file find the path for js file into plugins directory of the app Example : MyFCM\plugins\cordova-plugin-fcm\www\FCMPlugin.js

app.controller('AppCtrl', function(FCMPlugin,$scope,$cordovaToast,$cordovaDialogs,ionPlatform) {
  // call to register automatically upon device ready
  ionPlatform.ready.then(function (device) {
    console.log('I am working');
    FCMPlugin.onNotification(
      function(data){
        if(data.wasTapped){
          //Notification was received on device tray and tapped by the user.
          $cordovaDialogs.alert(data.notification.body);
        }else{
          //Notification was received in foreground. Maybe the user needs to be notified.
          $cordovaDialogs.alert(data.notification.body);
          //$cordovaToast.showShortCenter( JSON.stringify(data) );
        }
      },
      function(msg){
        $cordovaToast.showShortCenter('onNotification callback successfully registered: ' + msg);
      },
      function(err){
        $cordovaToast.showShortCenter('Error registering onNotification callback: ' + err);
      }
    );
  });
})
