# Notifd A [notification daemon](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/notification-spec/latest/) implementation as a library and CLI tool. ## How it works The first instantiation of the [Notifd](https://aylur.github.io/libastal/notifd/class.Notifd.html) class will become the daemon and every subsequent instantiation will queue up to act as the daemon and will act as a client in the meantime. This means this library can be used throughout multiple processes. ## Usage You can browse the [Notifd reference](https://aylur.github.io/libastal/notifd). ### CLI ```sh astal-notifd --help ``` ### Library :::code-group ```js [ JavaScript] import Notifd from "gi://AstalNotifd" const notifd = Notifd.get_default() notifd.connect("notified", (_, id) => { const n = notifd.get_notification(id) print(n.summary, n.body) }) ``` ```py [ Python] from gi.repository import AstalNotifd as Notifd notifd = Notifd.get_default() def on_notified(_, id): n = notifd.get_notification(id) print(n.get_body(), n.get_body()) notifd.connect("notified", on_notified) ``` ```lua [ Lua] local Notifd = require("lgi").require("AstalNotifd") local notifd = Notifd.get_default() notifd.on_notified = function(_, id) local n = notifd.get_notification(id) print(n.body, n.summary) end ``` ```vala [ Vala] // Not yet documented ``` ::: ## Installation 1. install dependencies :::code-group ```sh [ Arch] sudo pacman -Syu meson vala valadoc gdk-pixbuf2 json-glib gobject-introspection ``` ```sh [ Fedora] sudo dnf install meson vala valadoc gdk-pixbuf2-devel json-glib-devel gobject-introspection-devel ``` ```sh [ Ubuntu] sudo apt install meson valac valadoc libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev libjson-glib-dev gobject-introspection ``` ::: 2. clone repo ```sh git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git cd astal/lib/notifd ``` 3. install ```sh meson setup --prefix /usr build meson install -C build ```
