[ New Feature ] => Notifications

Implemented reusable method for triggering display of system notifications with desired title and body message

Platform specifics

Linux:

• Working on both dev and production environments
• Missing Tari icon for notification

Windows

• Working on both dev and production environments
• Notifications displayed as if they have been send from powershell

MacOS

• Working only on production environment
• To make it work user have to enable notifications for Tari app and go to notifications center and switch notficiation display from banner to alert for Tari

[ @tauri-apps/plugin-notification ]

Currently implemented and replaced old implementation with official tauri plugin
After testing it looks like it work similar as my implementation or even slightly worse

Platform specifics

Linux:

• Working only on production environment ( build locally )
• Missing Tari icon for notification

Windows

• Working on both dev and production environments
• Notifications ON DEV displayed as if they have been send from powershell
• Notifications ON BUILD displayed with proper tari icon

MacOS

• Working only on production environment
• To make it work user have to enable notifications for Tari app and go to notifications center and switch notficiation display from banner to alert for Tari

Code looks good. It's at least the second time we're using this pattern so it could be good to move the repeated bits to a trait if possible.

Once the branch is updated I'll test.

👏🏻 Excellent stuff

I tried running in both dev, and with a local build. MacOS doesn't seem to know what to do with the notifications. And prompts with a confusing message Saying to Choose an Application and "Where is use_default".

This feature does not work on macos in dev mode. Did it happen also in local build version ?

Sorry I didn't re-read the notes after the weekend and forgot it was prod mode only.

We should disable this in the dev environment. It's quite a large nuisance if it can't be used, as it pops up those dialogs on every block win.

When notifications aren't enabled yet we still receive the dialog to Choose Application even on the prod build.
Once enabled we need to format the win value correctly:

I should be able to disable triggering of showing notifications on dev environment and also format the amounts, but as for the dialog on macos for choosing application I'm not sure if I will be able to do something with it

It seems strange. It's a very terrible UX experience. But this isn't normal. Shouldn't we be able to prompt for notifications permission or something similar instead of trying to use notifications, and showing the Choose Application dialog. I feel like there's a step missing somewhere.

Its old Pr, I can go back and review how I've implemented this and if there is some other option but as far as I remember this was best that I could made in decent amount of time that would work more or less

It may be useful to use Tauri's existing plugin for system notifications: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-plugin-notification

It should allow us to perform actions like ensuring we have permission before sending. It also appears to handle the OS dependent sending switches.

That was first thing that I tried but it didn't work at all. At least with my setup

[brianp]

on hold until the tauri v2 upgrade is done, as we suspect the API will become easier to deal with.

Moving this into the Todo list. Once V2 is merged let's revisit the tauri notifications plugin, and see if we can get rid of the weird "Choose application" dialog in mac os.
