GrowlCar

Sending notifications to the growl provider on boxcar.io

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'growl_car'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install growl_car

You will need to enable the Growl provider on your boxcar account.

require 'growl_car'

GrowlCar.configure do |config|
  config.username = "YOUR_BOXCAR_USERNAME"
  config.password = "YOUR_BOXCAR_PASSWORD"
end

GrowlCar.send_growl_notification("GrowlCar-test", "This message is from GrowlCar")

It is also possible to instantiate a GrowlCar::Client to handle multiple users:

matt = GrowlCar::Client.new(username: MATT_BOXCAR_USERNAME, password: MATT_BOXCAR_PASSWORD)

alex = GrowlCar::Client.new(username: ALEX_BOXCAR_USERNAME, password: ALEX_BOXCAR_PASSWORD)

matt.send_growl_notification("GrowlCar-matt", "Hey how's it going?")

alex.send_growl_notification("GrowlCar-alex", "The Food is ready")

the send_growl_notification method can raise errors if it encounters any issues with boxcar. If is unable to log in (unauthorized response) it will raise a GrowlCar::Error::UnauthorizedError For any response that is not a 200 or 401 (unauthorized) it will raise a GrowlCar::Error::HttpError
