Electron Notifications Lite

关于Electron的notification，先总结我的经验。Mac下直接用electron的notification module就可以。Win下的notification如果想要用win原生的，会有一些问题。Win7和win8/8.1/10在用户体验和内容上差别很大，前者为气泡，后者为Metro风格的。electron自己的notification现在这个版本(18-01-01)在win下问题很多。另外，electron-windows-notifcation这个在8/8.1/10上表现很好，但是不支持7，但7很用户量更大。

所以还是用这个electron-notifications，它是直接用browserwindow模拟的notification，原本的UI比较丑、Bug也很多，并且细节上闪烁也比较严重，但它会是比较稳定的（因为其原理）。原来的项目bug提了很久也不修，似乎作者并不想维护了。而A.F.C App正好有这个需求，因而在原fork基础上进行了一些工作。

本分支附加了-lite作为名字，您可安装：

npm install --save electron-notifications-lite 

当前状态说明：

• 不再支持所谓的vertical 模式，不再支持按钮。
• 当Notification被点击时，它会向主线程发notification-lite-click的消息。
• option中增加一个adicon字段，能够额外在右侧显示一个ICON。

Changelog:

1.1.1

• notification不再抢走焦点

1.1.2

• 增加autoClose选项

  ​

其他说明见原fork稳定：

A node module for sending notifications in electron applications.

Playbook

If you'd like to see this in action you can run the playbook and try out live examples and edit the code in place.

git clone [email protected]:blainesch/electron-notifications.git
npm run playbook

Introduction

When you create a new notification, your notification is queued, since we only display one at a time. Each notification is a BrowserWindow instance, so it's completely cross platform.

Options

All options are optional.

• message: A message to display under the title.
• icon: The absolute URL of a icon displayed to the left of the text.
• buttons: One or two buttons to display on the right of the notification.
• vertical: Boolean (default: false) that specifies that the buttons should be stacked vertically.
• duration: Integer duration in milliseconds (default: 4000) to show the notification.
• flat: Boolean (default: false) that specifies to use a flat button style notification.

Events

In addition to the events provided by electron you also have access to the following 3 additional events.

Clicked

When the notification was clicked, but not dragged. This usually does the default action, or closes the notification.

const notification = notifier.notify('Calendar')

notification.on('clicked', () => {
  notification.close()
})

Swiped Right

When the notification has been swiped to the right. This usually indicates that the user wants to dismiss the notification.

const notification = notifier.notify('Calendar')

notification.on('swipedRight', () => {
  notification.close()
})

Button Clicked

When any one of the buttons are clicked, it'll trigger a buttonClicked event, and pass the text, button index and options to the handler.

const notification = notifier.notify('Calendar', {
  buttons: ['Dismiss', 'Snooze'],
  url: "http://google.com"
})

notification.on('buttonClicked', (text, buttonIndex, options) => {
  if (text === 'Snooze') {
    // Snooze!
  } else if(buttonIndex === 1) {
    //open options.url
  }
  notification.close()
})
