README
notification
Easily send desktop notifications.
Supported OS

Installation
nimble install notification
Example
import notification
var n = initNotification(
summary = "hello",
body = "world",
icon = "help-faq")
n.add Hint(kind: hkUrgency, urgency: Critical)
let handle = n.notify
Extended example using custom hint type
# Example of sending a custom Hint type that replaces an
# existing notification as outlined here:
# https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_notifications#Replace_previous_notification
#
# Note that unlike replaceId, which works only when replacing a notification within a
# running application, this approach works across different processes, as it uses
# libnotify's in-built mechanism for this.
import notification
