Breaking Changes

Obligatory fail. Fixes minor issue with non-JSON output for macOS.

Breaking Changes

Note/TL;DR: If you are just using node-notifier with things like message, title and icon, v5 should work just as before.

1. CLI is now removed. Can be found in separate project: https://github.com/mikaelbr/node-notifier-cli. This means you no longer get the notify bin when installing node-notifier. To get this do npm i [-g] node-notifier-cli
2. Changed toaster implementation from toast.exe to Snoretoast. This means if you are using your custom fork, you need to change. SnoreToast has some better default implemented functionality.
3. terminal-notifier dependency has been bumped to v1.7.1. With that there can be changes in the API, and supports now reply and buttons. Output has changed to JSON by default, this means the output of some functions of the terminal-notifier has broken. See https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier for more details. See README for documentation on how to use the new features, or an example file.
4. notify method will now throw error if second argument is something else than function (still optional): #138.

Additions

1. Now supports *BSD systems: #142.
2. With the new toaster implementation you can do more! For instance customize sound and close notification. See all options:

{
  title: void 0, // String. Required
  message: void 0, // String. Required if remove is not defined
  icon: void 0, // String. Absolute path to Icon
  sound: false, // Bool | String (as defined by http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh761492.aspx)
  wait: false, // Bool. Wait for User Action against Notification or times out
  id: void 0, // Number. ID to use for closing notification.
  appID: void 0, // String. App.ID. Don't create a shortcut but use the provided app id.
  remove: void 0, // Number. Refer to previously created notification to close.
  install: void 0 // String (path, application, app id).  Creates a shortcut <path> in the start menu which point to the executable <application>, appID used for the notifications.
}

Major changes and breaking API.

1. require('node-notifier') now returns an instance with fallbackable notifications.

var notifier = require('node-notifier');
notifier.notify();

1. Introduced a wait property (default false), to get user input for Notification Center, Windows Toaster, Windows Balloons and Growl. Sadly not for notify-send.

var notifier = require('node-notifier');
notifier.notify({ wait: true }, function (err, response) {
  // response is response after user have interacted
  // with the notification or the notification has timed out.
});

1. All notification instances are now event emitters, emitting events click or timeout. This is only applicable if { wait: true }.

var notifier = require('node-notifier');
notifier.on('click', function (notificationObject, options) {
  // options.someArbitraryData === 'foo'
});
notifier.notify({ wait: true, someArbitraryData: 'foo' });

1. WindowsToaster and NotificationCenter now can have sounds by doing { sound: true }. Default NotificationCenter sound is Bottle. Can still use define sound on Mac:

var notifier = require('node-notifier');
notifier.notify({ sound: true });
// For mac (same as sound: true on Windows 8)
notifier.notify({ sound: 'Morse' });
