## Overview
The simple-web-notification is a simplified web notifications API with automatic permissions support.
This library requires no external dependencies, however the browser must support the Notification API or have a polyfill available.
See [W3 Specification](https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/notifications/raw-file/tip/Overview.html) for more information.
## Demo
[Live Demo](https://sagiegurari.github.io/simple-web-notification/)
## Usage
In order to use the simplified web notification API you first must add the relevant dependencies:
```html
```
Now you can use the API anywhere in your application, for example:
```js
document.querySelector('.some-button').addEventListener('click', function onClick() {
webNotification.showNotification('Example Notification', {
body: 'Notification Text...',
icon: 'my-icon.ico',
onClick: function onNotificationClicked() {
console.log('Notification clicked.');
},
autoClose: 4000 //auto close the notification after 4 seconds (you can manually close it via hide function)
}, function onShow(error, hide) {
if (error) {
window.alert('Unable to show notification: ' + error.message);
} else {
console.log('Notification Shown.');
setTimeout(function hideNotification() {
console.log('Hiding notification....');
hide(); //manually close the notification (you can skip this if you use the autoClose option)
}, 5000);
}
});
});
```
In case you wish to use service worker web notifications, you must provide the serviceWorkerRegistration in the options as follows:
```js
navigator.serviceWorker.register('service-worker.js').then(function(registration) {
document.querySelector('.some-button').addEventListener('click', function onClick() {
webNotification.showNotification('Example Notification', {
serviceWorkerRegistration: registration,
body: 'Notification Text...',
icon: 'my-icon.ico',
actions: [
{
action: 'Start',
title: 'Start'
},
{
action: 'Stop',
title: 'Stop'
}
],
autoClose: 4000 //auto close the notification after 4 seconds (you can manually close it via hide function)
}, function onShow(error, hide) {
if (error) {
window.alert('Unable to show notification: ' + error.message);
} else {
console.log('Notification Shown.');
setTimeout(function hideNotification() {
console.log('Hiding notification....');
hide(); //manually close the notification (you can skip this if you use the autoClose option)
}, 5000);
}
});
});
});
```
In case you wish to invoke the permissions API manually you can use the webNotification.requestPermission function.
This function triggers the request permissions dialog in case permissions were not already granted.
```js
//manually ask for notification permissions (invoked automatically if needed and allowRequest=true)
webNotification.requestPermission(function onRequest(granted) {
if (granted) {
console.log('Permission Granted.');
} else {
console.log('Permission Not Granted.');
}
});
```
When using an AMD loader (such as RequireJS) or CommonJS type loader, the webNotification object is not automatically defined on the window scope.
## Installation
Run npm install in your project as follows:
```sh
npm install --save simple-web-notification
```
Or if you are using bower, you can install it as follows:
```sh
bower install simple-web-notification --save
```
## Limitations
The web notifications API is not fully supported in all browsers.
Please see [supported browser versions](http://caniuse.com/#feat=notifications) for more information on the official spec support.
