Simple notifications with Growl and OS X Notification Center.

Gem Version Dependency Status Build Status Coverage Status

Installation

In your Gemfile:

gem 'notifies', '~> 0.1.0'

Manually:

gem install notifies

Usage

It's as simple as:

Notifies.notify 'Hello World!'

This will automatically select and use the first available notifier.

The method returns:

  • true if everything worked;
  • nil if no notifier is available on your system;
  • false if the notifier failed.

Notification Options

The following options are available:

  • :type - The type of notification. With some notifiers this changes the icon. This must be either :ok, :info, :warning or :error. By default, :info is selected.
  • :title - The title of the notification. This is set by the notifier by default (e.g. "growlnotify" for the Growl notifier).
  • :subtitle - An optional subtitle.
  • :icon - Custom icon. Only supported with Growl, see the documentation.
Notifies.notify 'Hello World!', type: :ok, title: 'My App', subtitle: 'Notifications'

Aliases

You can uses these aliases instead of passing the :type option:

Notifies.notify_ok 'It works!'
Notifies.notify_info 'Useful information'
Notifies.notify_warning 'Beware'
Notifies.notify_error 'Broken'
