windows 10 toast notifications nodejs
To display toast notifications in a Node.js application on Windows 10, you can follow these steps:
- Install the
node-notifier
package from npm:
npm install node-notifier
This package provides a simple way to create and display notifications in Node.js.
- Import the
node-notifier
module in your Node.js application:
javascript
const notifier = require('node-notifier');
This allows you to use the functions provided by the node-notifier
package.
- Create a notification using the
notify
function:
javascript
notifier.notify({
title: 'Notification Title',
message: 'Notification Message',
});
The notify
function accepts an object with properties such as title
and message
to define the content of the notification.
- Customize the notification with additional options:
javascript
notifier.notify({
title: 'Notification Title',
message: 'Notification Message',
icon: 'path/to/icon.png',
sound: true,
});
You can provide additional options like icon
to specify the path to an image file for the notification icon, and sound
to enable or disable the notification sound.
- Handle notification events:
```javascript notifier.on('click', function (notification) { console.log('Notification clicked'); });
notifier.on('timeout', function (notification) { console.log('Notification timed out'); }); ```
You can listen to events like click
and timeout
to perform actions when the user interacts with the notification.
- Display the notification:
javascript
notifier.notify({
title: 'Notification Title',
message: 'Notification Message',
});
Finally, call the notify
function to display the notification on the Windows 10 desktop.
These steps should help you display toast notifications in your Node.js application on Windows 10 using the node-notifier
package.
