Basic usage

Create a notifier and sending a notification

JoliNotif provides a DefaultNotifier class which is the main entrypoint of the library. It's main goal is to provide a simple way to send a desktop notification without having to care about the platform you're running on. It will work whether you're on Linux, Windows or macOS.

use Joli\JoliNotif\DefaultNotifier;
use Joli\JoliNotif\Notification;

$notifier = new DefaultNotifier();

$notifier->send(new Notification());

And you're done!

Internally, the notifier will use each driver's priority to determine the best one available on your system. For example, some driver have a low priority because they don't support some notification options. So if a better driver is available, it will be used.

[!NOTE] In case no driver is supported or if an error happens during notification sending, the send method will return false.

[!TIP] If you want to log when an error happens or if no driver is supported, you can also pass an instance of Psr\Log\LoggerInterface as the first parameter of the DefaultNotifier's constructor.

Create and configure your notification

Create a notification is as simple as instantiating a Notification and setting the option you want to use:

use Joli\JoliNotif\Notification;

$notification =
    (new Notification())
    ->setBody('The notification body')
    ->setTitle('The notification title')
    ->addOption('subtitle', 'This is a subtitle') // Only works on macOS (AppleScriptDriver)
    ->addOption('sound', 'Frog') // Only works on macOS (AppleScriptDriver & TerminalNotifierDriver)
    ->addOption('url', 'https://google.com') // Only works on macOS (TerminalNotifierDriver)
;

As you can see, the notification class provides a fluent API.
