Overview

The angular-web-notification is an angular service wrapper for the web notifications API.

It is using the HTML5-Desktop-Notifications library which provides a unified API for all browsers.

See W3 Specification and HTML5-Desktop-Notifications for more information.

Usage

In order to use the angular service you first must add the relevant dependencies:

<script type="text/javascript" src="angular.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="HTML5-Desktop-Notifications2/desktop-notify.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="angular-web-notification.js"></script>

Next you must define it as a dependency in your main angular module as follows:

angular.module('exampleApp', [
    'angular-web-notification'
]);

Now you can inject and use the service into your modules (directives/services/...), for example:

angular.module('exampleApp').directive('showButton', ['webNotification', function (webNotification) {
return {
    ...
    link: function (scope, element) {
        element.on('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);
                }
            });
        });
    }
};
}]);

Installation

Run bower install in your project as follows:

bower install angular-web-notification --save
