When and where is actionUpdate() used?

[steffes]

I am building an iOS client using the RESTful API module and Firebase module. When is the actionUpdate() used? How do I invoke the saving of a new user in the fcmpush_user table? https://github.com/humhub/humhub-modules-fcm-push/blob/955db9730f07e51ddeda0b5a7d6dbe2631b009ae/controllers/TokenController.php#L30-L37

I have added all the credentials in the Firebase module. After checking the Mobile options, I am still not added to the fcmpush_user table

How can I add the fcm token, created on my iOS device, to the fcmpush_user table? Is this available through the RESTful API module? If not how can I refactor to make this possible?

@luke- how can I access the POST endpoint of fcm-push/token/update without being on a web browser on android? What needs to be in the header? is https://github.com/humhub/humhub-modules-fcm-push/blob/955db9730f07e51ddeda0b5a7d6dbe2631b009ae/Events.php#L133 the only thing that needs to be in body?

@steffes if you plan to use the action outside of the browser context, you may also need to disable the CSRF protection (additional random param)

https://github.com/humhub/humhub-modules-fcm-push/blob/955db9730f07e51ddeda0b5a7d6dbe2631b009ae/controllers/TokenController.php

class TokenController extends Controller
{
    public $enableCsrfValidation = false;

    public function actionUpdate() {
        //...

Otherwise you’ll get a 403 error.

Otherwise it is a simple POST request with a single parameter named "token". So no JSON body or something like that is used. The current user is read from the session.

Do we need to change something?

Applying the latest commit about CSP from @buddh4 to my /protected/humhub/config/web.php fixed my issue of the browser successfully updating the token. Adding

public $enableCsrfValidation = false;

to my TokenController helped from getting 404 as a POST response, to a 401 with {"success": false} response.

If I am outside of the browser context is there anyway to use the auth_token I get with the RESTful API Module (/api/v1/auth/login) to use in place of the browser session to get the current user so it can save the fcm token?

Unfortunately there is currently no link between the rest of the module and the FCM Push module yet.

You can either add FCM Push (add/update token) stuff to the existing Rest Module or add some basic auth to the FCM module (preferred).
