# Apache KIE Tools Notifications

This package provides a type-safe Notifications library for a Typescript project.

## Install

- `npm install @kie-tools-core/notifications`

## Usage

The library is separated into two submodules:

- api
  All the APIs and the main classes needed are in this submodule.

  to use the core:

  - `import { NotificationsChannelApi } from "@kie-tools-core/notifications/dist/api"`
  - `import { Notification } from "@kie-tools-core/notifications/dist/api"`
  - `import { NotificationSeverity } from "@kie-tools-core/notifications/dist/api"`
  - `import { NotificationType } from "@kie-tools-core/notifications/dist/api"`

## API

Notifications main attributes:

- messages: The text that will be shown to the user
- path: File location.
- severity: `"INFO" | "WARNING" | "ERROR" | "SUCCESS" | "HINT"`
- type: `"PROBLEM" | "ALERT"`

### VS Code

The `VsCodeNotificationsChannelApiImpl` class is the only "public" class users have access. Under the hood it contains two different implementations depending on `Notification.type`.

So if:

- `Notifications.type === "PROBLEM"` The notifications are going to be shown in Problems Tab.
- `Notifications.type === "ALERT"` The notifications are going to be shown as Popups.

If, for some reason, there is not type, the default is `PROBLEM`

In both cases path is mandatory and it will let the user to open the file where those notifications come from.

`Notification.severity` also depends on `Notification.type`, if:

- `PROBLEM`, the supported severities are `"INFO" | "WARNING" | "ERROR" | "SUCCESS" | "HINT"`. `SUCCESS` converts to `INFO` which is the default severity.
- `ALERT`, the supported severities are `"ERROR" | "WARNING" | "INFO"`. Any other types defaults to `INFO`

Apache KIE (incubating) is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the name of Apache Incubator. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that
the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized
in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation
status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the
code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Some of the incubating project’s releases may not be fully compliant with ASF
policy. For example, releases may have incomplete or un-reviewed licensing
conditions. What follows is a list of known issues the project is currently
aware of (note that this list, by definition, is likely to be incomplete):

- Hibernate, an LGPL project, is being used. Hibernate is in the process of
  relicensing to ASL v2
- Some files, particularly test files, and those not supporting comments, may
  be missing the ASF Licensing Header

If you are planning to incorporate this work into your product/project, please
be aware that you will need to conduct a thorough licensing review to determine
the overall implications of including this work. For the current status of this
