=head1 NAME
Desktop::Notify::Notification - a notification object for the desktop
notifications framework
=head1 VERSION
Version 0.03
=cut
our $VERSION = '0.03';
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# $notify is an existing Desktop::Notify object
my $note = $notify->create(summary => 'Rebuilding FooBar',
body => 'Progress: 10%');
$note->show;
...
# Update the notification later
$note->body('Progress: 20%');
$note->show;
...
# Take it off the screen
$note->close;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Desktop notification objects are represented as objects of this class. They
are created by a L<Desktop::Notify> object. Displaying, closing, and modifying
the notification is done by using methods in this class.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new $notify, %params
This is called internally by L<Desktop::Notify> to create a new notification
object.
=cut
sub new {
my ($class, $server, %params) = @_;
my $self = \%params;
$self->{server} = $server;
$self->{id} = undef;
$self->{actions} ||= {};
$self->{hints} ||= {};
bless $self, $class;
}
=head2 show
Display the notification on the screen. If this notification had previously
been shown and not closed yet, it will replace the existing notification.
Show can be called multiple times on the same notification, probably with
attribute changes between calls, and later show calls will cause the server to seamlessly replace the existing notification.
=cut
sub show {
my $self = shift;
$self->{id} = $self->{server}->{notify}
->Notify($self->{server}->{app_name},
$self->{id} || 0,
$self->{server}->{app_icon},
$self->{summary},
$self->{body},
[%{$self->{actions}}],
$self->{hints},
$self->{timeout} || 0,
);
$self->{server}->_register_notification($self);
return $self;
}
=head2 close
Close the notification if it is already being displayed.
=cut
sub close {
my $self = shift;
if (defined $self->{id})
{
$self->{server}->{notify}->CloseNotification($self->{id});
delete $self->{id};
} else
{
warn "Trying to close notification that has not been shown.";
}
return $self;
}
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
The following parameters can be set when creating the object or later modified
using accessors (descriptions are from the specification at
=over
=item summary
The summary text briefly describing the notification.
=item body
The optional detailed body text. Can be empty.
=item actions
Actions are sent over as a list of pairs. Each even element in the list
(starting at index 0) represents the identifier for the action. Each odd
element in the list is the localized string that will be displayed to the user.
A user-specified function to be called whenever an action is invoked can be
specified with L<Desktop::Notify>'s L<action_callback> method.
=item hints
Optional hints that can be passed to the server from the client program.
=back
=over
=item timeout
The timeout time in milliseconds since the display of the notification at which
the notification should automatically close.
If -1, the notification's expiration time is dependent on the notification
server's settings, and may vary for the type of notification. If 0, never
expire.
=back
The following extra parameters are included in the specification but not
supported by L<Desktop::Notify> at this time
=over
=item app_icon
The optional program icon of the calling application.
=back
=cut
1; # End of Desktop::Notify::Notification
