Description: Create native OS X notifications from Node.js
Author: Charlie Hess
Latest version: 0.0.14

# node-mac-notifier
A native node module that lets you create OS X notifications from Node.js, without spawning a separate process.
This is useful for desktop applications built with [Electron](http://electron.atom.io/) (or something similar), as it adheres to the HTML5 [`Notification` API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notification/Notification). Unlike the Electron [notification](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/desktop-environment-integration.md#notifications-windows-linux-os-x) it also supports replies:

## Installation
`npm install node-mac-notifier`

#### Run Tests
`npm test`

## Usage
Ensure that this module is called from a renderer process; it will have no effect in the main process. Works with Electron >=0.37.7.

```js
Notification = require('node-mac-notifier');
noti = new Notification('Hello from OS X', {body: 'It Works!'});
noti.addEventListener('click', () => console.log('Got a click.'));
```

In addition to the standard `click` event, these notifications also support a (non-standard) `reply` event. To enable the reply button, set `canReply` in the options argument. The user's response is included as a parameter on the event:
```js
noti = new Notification('Wow, replies!', {canReply: true});
noti.addEventListener('reply', ({response}) => console.log(`User entered: ${response}`));
```

## API
### `new Notification(title, options)`
##### `title` (string) (*required*)
The title of the notification.
##### `options` (Object)
Additional parameters to the notification.
##### `options.id` (string)
A string identifying the notification. Maps to `NSUserNotification.identifier`. A notification with an `id` matching a previously delivered notification will not be shown. If not provided, defaults to a RFC4122 v4 string.
##### `options.body` (string)
The body text. Maps to `NSUserNotification.informativeText`.
##### `options.subtitle` (string)
The subtitle text. Maps to `NSUserNotification.subtitle`.
##### `options.icon` (string)
A URL with image content. Maps to `NSUserNotification.contentImage`. Should be an absolute URL.
##### `options.soundName` (string)
The name of a sound file to play once the notification is delivered. Maps to `NSUserNotification.soundName`. Set to `default` to use `NSUserNotificationDefaultSoundName`, or leave `undefined` for a silent notification.
##### `options.canReply` (bool)
If true, this notification will have a reply action button, and can emit the `reply` event. Maps to `NSUserNotification.hasReplyButton`.
##### `options.bundleId` (string)
Set this to override the `NSBundle.bundleIdentifier` used for the notification. This is a brute force way for your notifications to take on the appropriate app icon.

### `close()`
Dismisses the notification immediately.
