Push notification base on users' option

ionic-v1

Users can select their country and I want to my push notification only to specified group. How should I implement that? Regard the country part, should I use localstorage or sqlite is needed ?

Hi man. Localstorage did the trick for me. About push notifications, check Holly’s blog, she has made several great articles about this and I learned how to do it from there : http://devgirl.org/

LocalStorageService.set("country", userCountry);
var tempCountry = LocalStorageService.get("country");

switch(tempCountry){
   case "usa" : case "uk" : case "anyOtherCountry":
      var androidConfig = {
    "senderID": "replace_with_sender_id",
  };

  $cordovaPush.register(config).then(function(result) {
    // Success
  }, function(err) {
    // Error
  });

 break;

default : 
 $cordovaPush.unregister(options).then(function(result) {
    // Success!
  }, function(err) {
    // Error
  });
  break;
}

To implement that properly you need to tell your server (the one that sends the Push Notifications) what country the user has selected, along with the device id/token.

Then on your server side (which has nothing to do with Ionic, really), you select only the devices having a specific country to send the PNs to.

localstorage is fine for persisting the preference on the client, though.
