notify is a go dbus implementation for delivering desktop notifications over dbus

notify

Notify is a go library for interacting with the dbus notification service defined by freedesktop.org: https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/

notify can deliver desktop notifications over dbus, ala how libnotify does it.

Please note notify is still in motion and APIs are not locked until a 1.0 is released.

More testers are very welcome =)

Depends on:

• godbus.

Changelog

• v0.9.0: some breaking changes
• v0.2.1: dbus: gomod: lock to dbus v5
• v0.2.0: Notifier.Close() no longer calls .Close() on the underlying dbus.Conn

Quick intro

See example: main.go.

Clone repo and go to examples folder:

go run main.go

TODO

• Add callback support aka dbus signals.
• Tests. I am very interested in any ideas for writing some (useful) tests for this.
