notifier

Notifier

A simple node.js module to handle all the application level notifications (apple push notifications, mails and facebook posts)

Installation

$ npm install notifier

or include it in package.json

NOTE: Sending emails is disabled in 'development' and 'test' environment. (instead it will log to console)

Usage

var notifier = new Notifier({
  service: 'postmark' // or 'sendgrid'
  APN: true,
  email: true,
  tplType: 'ejs', // if you want to use ejs as templating system
  actions: ['comment', 'like'],
  tplPath: require('path').resolve(__dirname, './templates'),
  key: 'SERVICE_KEY',
  sendgridUser: 'SENDGRID_USER',
  parseAppId: 'APP_ID',
  parseApiKey: 'MASTER_KEY'
});
 
var comment = {
  to: 'Tom',
  from: 'Harry'
};
 
var options = {
  to: 'tom@madhums.me',
  subject: 'Harry says Hi to you',
  from: 'harry@madhums.me',
  locals: comment // should be the object containing the objects used in the templates
};
 
notifier.use({
  parseChannels: ['USER_5093a266180b779762000005']
});
 
// OR
// options.parseChannels = ['USER_5093a266180b779762000005']
 
notifier.send('comment', options, function (err) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  console.log('Successfully sent Notifiaction!');
});

If you want to use a different templating engine like ejs or something else then just override the processTemplate method. And don't forget to use the tplType config option

For example

Notifier.prototype.processTemplate = function (tplPath, locals) {
  var ejs = require('ejs')
  locals.filename = tplPath
 
  var tpl = require('fs').readFileSync(tplPath, 'utf8')
 
  return ejs.render(tpl, locals)
}

Tests

$ npm test
