notifications-rails

A flexible notification library supporting the delivery to external services, rendering in various environments, and user configuration by category.

Philosophy

notifications-rails has been built with modularity in mind. It currently consists of four components each of which bringing one essential functionality to the integration of notifications in your Rails app.

notification-handler: Create and modify your notifications through a simple API.

notification-renderer: Render your notifications in various contexts.

notification-pusher: Deliver your notifications to various services, including Email and OneSignal.

notification-settings: Integrates with your authentication solution to craft a personalized user notification platform.

You may just use the components you actually need, or instead use this gem to bundle everything for a complete notification solution.
