Nodeifications

Simple cross platform desktop notifications for node-webkit apps, inspired by Chrome Notifications.

API Documentation on the wiki

Getting Started

1. Include the javascript nodeifications.js in your application

2. Include the HTML template nodeifications.html in your application

3. Create a notification using the API: DEA.notifications.create(options, callback);

Running the demo app

1. Clone this project

    git clone git@github.com:pbojinov/nodeifications.git
   

2. Run npm install

3. Make the nw zip file by running the default gulp task

    gulp
   

4. cd into the project /src

5. Run the nw application

    nodewebkit nodeifications.nw
   

Building for Production

From the root of the project:

npm install

gulp build

Then run the executable/app from inside /webkitbuilds

Application Flow

1. Call the API to create a new notification.

2. nodeifications.js creates the HTML template using the user provided content

3. nodeifications.js created the notification and appends the template to the created notification window.

4. nodeifications.html is simply the container for the content. It handles closing itself and sending off interaction events back to the parent who initiated the notification.

Notes

• node-webkit version 0.9.2 or later is required for this example (because Window.setShowInTaskbar is used).
