Installation

Add expo-push-notification-helper to your project by executing

$  npm install expo-push-notification-helper
or
$ yarn add expo-push-notification-helper

Usage

To initialize expo-push-notification-helper import the "initnotify"
//import the initnotify into your project
import { initnotify } from 'expo-push-notification-helper';

//and then use like so
         initnotify();

it's advicable to do this at your top level file.

can also use the callback function. Which returns true on success and false if unsuccessful.
this will also automatically create three channels for your app, "default", "reminders", "chat-messages" .
//import the initnotify into your project
import { initnotify } from 'expo-push-notification-helper';

//and then use like so
         initnotify().then((data)=>{
              if(data){
                //get token
              }else{
                //request for permission
              }
         });

To get expo token of device import the "getToken"
this must be used in a async/await .
//import the getToken into your project
import { initnotify, getToken } from 'expo-push-notification-helper';

//and then use like so

      initnotify().then( async(data)=>{
          if(data){
                console.log(await getToken());
            }else{
              alert('please grant this app notification permission in settings.')
            }
       
        })



To create a new channel import the "newChannel"
//import the newChannel into your project 
import {  newChannel } from 'expo-push-notification-helper';

//and then use like so 
    newChannel("GroupMessage");
on default your channel will be created sound being false but you can change that by adding true as a second input

To send push notification import the "notify"

//import the notify into your project 
import { notify } from 'expo-push-notification-helper';

//and then use like so 
      notify(token, "new message", "hello there how are you doing", "default")
Not you must supply the channel."
