The documentation is very easy to understand. Thanks for writing this! I wonder though, what exactly is making this faster AND more secure? Those two usually don’t go together well!

(edit): There’s a few grammatical issues in every page, but that’s fine.

So, I am not terribly sure why you are checking if self exists in most functions in the oneSignal server module. Self will always exist if the function is called with a ‘:’ vs a ‘.’ and it would probably be more beneficial for the output to scream at the programmer for not calling it correctly vs nothing happening. You will also save yourself a little in efficiency by not calling this, since it won’t have to check if that variable is null.

#156

i forgot to remove if self then when changing self = nil to setmetatable(self, nil)

edit:
re-updated rc9 0.9.2 with minor fix docs
