     // ...
    
     plugins: [
       new WebpackBuildNotifications(),
     ]
   }

• true - Only show success notification for initial successful compilation and after failed compilations.
• "always" - Never show the success notifications.
• "initial" - Same as true, but suppresses the initial success notification.

suppressWarning

True to suppress the warning notifications, otherwise false (default).

suppressCompileStart

True to suppress the compilation started notifications (default), otherwise false.

activateTerminalOnError

True to activate (focus) the terminal window when a compilation error occurs. Note that this only works on Mac OSX (for now). Defaults to false. Regardless of the value of this config option, the terminal window can always be brought to the front by clicking on the notification.

successIcon

messageFormatter

A function which returns a formatted notification message. The function is passed two parameters:

• {Object} error/warning - The raw error or warning object.
• {String} filepath - The path to the file containing the error/warning (if available).

This function must return a String. The default messageFormatter will display the filename which contains the error/warning followed by the error/warning message. Note that the message will always be limited to 256 characters.

onClick

A function to be called when the notification is clicked. By default it activates the Terminal application. (Does not work on windows)

The function's signature

{
   // other options
   onClick: function(notifierObject, options){}
}

onTimeout

A function to be called when the notification closes. By default it does not do anything.

The function's signature

//Configuration options
{
   // other options
   onTimeout: function(notifierObject, options){}
}
