How JavaScript works: the mechanics of Web Push Notifications

“How JavaScript works” is a series of articles on SessionStack, describing some of the lesser known bits and pieces of JavaScript.  One particular chapter that caught my attention is “The Mechanics of Web Push Notifications“.

Push and notification are two different APIs.

  • Push — it is invoked when the server supplies information to a Service Worker.
  • Notification — this is the action of a Service Worker or a script in a web app that shows information to the user.
