notify-rust

Shows desktop notifications. This implementation does not rely on libnotify, as it is using dbus-rs. Basic notification features are supported, more sophisticated functionality will follow. The API shown below should be stable.

#Cargo.toml

Usage

extern crate notify_rust;
use notify_rust::Notification;
fn main()
{
    // use it this way
    Notification::new()
        .summary("this is the summary")
        .body("this is the body")
        .icon("firefox")
        .timeout(6000) //miliseconds
        .show();

    // using format!()
    Notification::new()
        .summary("Chromium Crashed")
        .appname("chromium")
        .body(&format!("This is <b>{}</b>!<br/>", "a lie"))
        .icon("chromium")
        .timeout(6000) //miliseconds
        .show();

    // possible, if you like
    let mut message = Notification::new();
    message.summary("invocation type 2");
    message.body("your <b>body</b> is a <u>wonderland</u>");
    message.show();

    // also possible, if you really really want to
    Notification {
        appname: "foobar".to_string(),
        timeout: 20,
        ..Notification::new()
    }.show();



    // can't see anything?
    Notification::new().summary("this will also print to stdout").show_debug();


}

Things TODO

• actions
• hints
• make use of returned id (can be used by close_notification(id))
• implement methods: GetServerInformation()
• listen to signals: ActionInvoke (0.0.8 to 0.0.9)
• become good enough to make this list
