## Getting Started

To get hyprnotify you can either download the binary build by github actions. Or build it locally.

### Arch Linux

`hyprnotify` is available on the AUR. You can install it with a AUR helper like `yay`.

```sh

yay -S hyprnotify

```

### Other Linux Distributions

You can download the release binaries directly from the [releases](https://github.com/codelif/hyprnotify/releases) page.

### Building from Source

#### Prerequisites

 - `go` compiler

 - `libnotify` to send notifications with `notify-send` (optional)

#### Compiling

1. Clone the repo and cd into it

   ```sh

   git clone https://github.com/codelif/hyprnotify.git

   cd hyprnotify

   ```

2. Build 

   ```sh

   go build ./cmd/hyprnotify

   ```

3. Run the binary

   ```sh

   ./hyprnotify

   ```

(back to top)


## Usage

Execute the daemon:

```sh

hyprnotify

```

### Examples

Send a notification:

```sh

notify-send "Hello, World!"

```

Add a font-size hint:

```sh

notify-send "This is very big!" -h int:x-hyprnotify-font-size:40

```

Add an urgency hint and last for 20 seconds:

```sh

notify-send "This is serious stuff!" -u critical -t 20000 

```

### Audio Playback

A notification sound is played along with a notification.

To disable this behaviour pass `--silent` flag when executing.

```sh

hyprnotify --silent

```

`--no-sound` and `-s` also works the same way.

### Note about `replace-id`:

When using `replace-id` with `notify-send`

```sh

notify-send --replace-id=10 "Hello"

```

All the notifications with IDs of more than `replace-id` will also be deleted. (11, 12, 13...) \

This is due to the inherent design of `hyprctl dismissnotify`. So, it is not fixable.\

\

Due to this, it is advisable to use it to replace only the latest notification.
