How To Build a Notification Feed using Stream
Blog post from Stream
The tutorial demonstrates how to create a notification feed using GetStream.io, focusing on an example app called bug-your-friends.com, which allows users to interact through actions like poking, following, or pinging. It begins with acquiring API keys from GetStream.io, followed by installing the client, in this case, using Python. The guide details sending events to users' notification feeds by creating instances of the API client, composing activities, and sending them to the relevant user feeds. It also covers reading notification feeds, updating notification counters, and customizing aggregation rules for grouping activities. The tutorial highlights the ability to subscribe to realtime notifications using the JavaScript client, allowing instant updates when new activities are added. While the explanation provides a basic overview of building a notification feed, it encourages exploring further with an interactive demo and additional documentation for a deeper understanding of Stream's capabilities.
