# Angular Desktop Notification
A simple HTML5 notification for Angular 1

## Getting Started
1. Go to your project directory using your command line tool then install the project using npm

  ```shell
  npm install angular-desktop-notification
  ```
2. Include angular.js and angular-desktop-notification.js to your index page.

  ```html
  <script type="text/javascript" src="angular.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="angular-desktop-notification.js"></script>
  ```
3. Add the ngDesktopNotification module to you application.

  ```javascript
  angular.module('myApp', ['ngDesktopNotification']);
  ```
4. You can now use the injectable service 'desktopNotification'.

  ```javascript
  angular.module('myApp').controller(function (desktopNotification) {
    desktopNotification.show('My Notification');
  });
  ```
5. You can also set the default app-wide configuration for desktopNotification

  ```javascript
  angular.module('myApp').config(function (desktopNotificationProvider) {
    desktopNotificationProvider.config({
      autoClose: false,
      showOnPageHidden: true
    });
  });
  ```

## How to use
A simple usage would be, request the permission and display the notification in the success callback
```javascript
desktopNotification.requestPermission().then(function (permission) {
  // User allowed the notification
  desktopNotification.show('Hello', {
    body: 'I am an HTML5 notification',
    onClick: function () {
      // Handle click event
    }
  });
}, function (permission) {
  // User denied the notification
});
```

## Limitations
Angular Desktop Notification is not supported in all browsers.  
Please see [supported browser versions](http://caniuse.com/#feat=notifications) for more information on the official support specification.

Also, only Chrome allows the desktop notification to persist, if and only if, the user hovers on it. Please check the [other browsers closing behavior](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notifications_API/Using_the_Notifications_API#Closing_notifications).
