PyPI Introduces Digital Attestations to Strengthen Python Package Security
PyPI now supports digital attestations, enhancing security and trust by allowing package maintainers to verify the authenticity of Python packages.
node-notifier
Advanced tools
The node-notifier package is a Node.js module for sending native notifications on different platforms like Windows, Mac, and Linux. It provides an easy-to-use API to show system notifications using the native notification system of the operating system.
Cross-platform notifications
This feature allows you to send desktop notifications across different operating systems. The code sample shows how to send a simple notification with a title and a message.
const notifier = require('node-notifier');
notifier.notify({
title: 'My notification',
message: 'Hello, this is a notification!'
});
Notification actions
This feature allows you to listen for user interactions with the notification, such as clicking on it. The code sample demonstrates how to handle a click event on the notification.
const notifier = require('node-notifier');
notifier.notify({
title: 'My notification',
message: 'Click to perform an action',
wait: true
}, (err, response, metadata) => {
if (metadata.activationType === 'clicked') {
console.log('Notification clicked!');
}
});
Custom notification sound
This feature allows you to customize the notification sound and appearance. The code sample shows how to send a notification with a custom sound and icon.
const notifier = require('node-notifier');
notifier.notify({
title: 'My notification',
message: 'With a custom sound!',
sound: true, // Only Notification Center or Windows Toasters
appIcon: '/path/to/icon.png', // Absolute path (doesn't work on balloons)
contentImage: '/path/to/image.png' // Absolute Path to Attached Image (Content Image)
});
A package specifically designed for Electron applications to show desktop notifications. It is similar to node-notifier but tailored for the Electron environment, which means it might not be suitable for non-Electron Node.js applications.
This package allows you to send notifications using the Pushover service. It differs from node-notifier in that it requires an internet connection and uses the Pushover API to send messages to devices, whereas node-notifier works offline and uses the native OS notification systems.
Toastr is a Javascript library for non-blocking notifications. It is designed for web applications and provides in-browser notifications as opposed to the system-level notifications provided by node-notifier.
A Node.js wrapper for the terminal-notifier application by Eloy Durán.
This module is experimental/in early stage (v0.0.2).
$ npm install node-notifier
Same usage and parameter setup as terminal-notifier.
Where terminal-notifier say to use the -message
option, you can do this in node-notifier
var notifier = require('node-notifier');
notifier.notify({
message: 'Hello World'
});
You can specify the second argument as a callback for getting error
and response
.
var notifier = require('node-notifier');
notifier.notify({
title: 'My application',
message: 'New notification'
}, function(error, response) {
console.log(response);
});
This module should eventually be a wrapper for both growlnotify and terminal-notifier and thus be able to
When these criterias are met, the module will be versioned 1.0.
