Web Notifications AngularJS Service
The angular-web-notification is an angular service wrapper for the web notifications API.
It is using the HTML5-Desktop-Notifications library which provides a unified API for all browsers.
See W3 Specification and HTML5-Desktop-Notifications for more information.
In order to use the angular service you first must add the relevant dependencies:
<script type="text/javascript" src="angular.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="HTML5-Desktop-Notifications/desktop-notify.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="angular-web-notification.js"></script>
Next you must define it as a dependency in your main angular module as follows:
angular.module('exampleApp', [
'angular-web-notification'
]);
Now you can inject and use the service into your modules (directives/services/...), for example:
angular.module('exampleApp').directive('showButton', ['webNotification', function (webNotification) {
return {
...
link: function (scope, element) {
element.on('click', function onClick() {
webNotification.showNotification('Example Notification', {
body: 'Notification Text...',
icon: 'my-icon.ico'
}, function onShow(error, hide) {
if (error) {
window.alert('Unable to show notification: ' + error.message);
} else {
console.log('Notification Shown.');
setTimeout(function hideNotification() {
console.log('Hiding notification....');
hide();
}, 5000);
}
});
});
}
};
}]);
Run bower install in your project as follows:
bower install angular-web-notification --save
The web notifications API is not fully supported in all browsers.
Please see http://caniuse.com/#feat=notifications for more information on the official spec support and at HTML5-Desktop-Notifications for more browser specific API support.
