Electron-native-notification NPM

electron-native-notification

Easily display native desktop applications from your Electron main process.

Because Notifications use the HTML 5 Notification API, this usually only works from renderer processes.

However, it's a polyfill from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification.

Usage

Reference https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification.

main.js:

const
  { app } = require('electron'),
  Notification = require('electron-native-notification');

app.on('ready', () => {

  const opt = { body: 'See? Really easy to use!' };

  const notification = new Notification('I am a notification!', opt);

  notification.on('show', () => {
    console.log('I\'m coming~');
  });

  notification.onclick = () => {
    console.log('On no! You touch me. It\'s hurt!!');
  };

  notification.addEventListener('close', () => {
    console.log('I\'ll be back!!');
  });

  notification.addListener('error', (err) => {
    console.error(err);
  });

  console.log('What does the notification say? ' + notification.body);

  setTimeout(() => notification.close(), 2000);

});
