What is node-libnotify-terminal ?

node-libnotify-terminal is a node module made to interact with those same notifications through libnotify-terminal as a child process. It is similar to libnotify in this way.

Why should I use this package over the old one?

libnotify uses notifysend a program that fires a notification but does not allow you to do anything with it. node-libnotify-terminal, on the other hand, supports button and notification press callbacks which in turn allow the user to interact with your application in a whole new way on Linux WMs that support sending notifications (so all of them, basically).

How simple is it?

Firing a simple notification, without callbacks, is as simple as this:

import { Notification } from "node-libnotify-terminal";
Notification.fire("Application title", "Notification body", "Notification title");

Note that the body is before the title, as only the body is required to fire a notification.

More examples are available on the Wiki.
