What reporting system is used?

September 21, 2014 ยท View on GitHub

There are 5 different reporting systems:

  • Mac Notification Center
  • Linux notify-osd
  • Windows Toaster
  • Windows Balloons
  • Growl

node-notifier tries to use the system that has the better experience but prefers native solutions. This means that Growl is prioritized over Windows Balloons (if Growl is active).

See flow chart to see how the reporter is chosen.
