Tutorial available here: [How to write your own native Node.js extension](http://syskall.com/how-to-write-your-own-native-nodejs-extension) or in TUTORIAL.md

This is a follow up to [How to roll out your own Javascript API with V8](http://syskall.com/how-to-roll-out-your-own-javascript-api-with).

## Install ##

Dependencies(Debian, Ubuntu):

    sudo apt-get install libnotify-dev

Using npm:

    npm install notify

    

Manually:

    node-gyp configure && node-gyp build

## Usage ##

    var notify = require("notify"); // or "../build/Release/gtknotify.node" if you build manually

    var notification = new notify.notification();

    notification.title = "Notification title";

    notification.icon = "emblem-default"; // see /usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16

    notification.send("Notification message"); // using libnotify's default timeout

To send notification with a timeout:

    notification.send("Notification message", 3000); // 3 sec timeout

    // or

    notification.send("Notification message", 0); // lasts forever

    notification.close(); // closes it
