use web/notifications

Dependencies: the, of, web/permissions

This wraps the Notification API.

Note that not all features are implemented: for example, you can’t use the actions property to show buttons to the user. That requires the use of a service worker, and I haven’t quite figured that out yet.

notifications.can? ( → t )

Prompts the user for permission to send notifications, and then returns true, false, or undefined depending on whether they granted, denied, or just closed the box. Note this will just return false immediately if you didn’t call this as a result of an user gesture.

notification.send ( ooptions object ttitle for notification → nnotification object )

Sends a notification using the provided title t and options object o, returning the Notification object. As a shortcut, o can be a string, in which case it is interpreted as the body of the notification.

The available option for o are described here. TODO: #12 add support for actions using service worker.
