Documentation
This grunt multitask allows you to configure desktop notifications inside your gruntfile and use them inside your tasks. This tasks makes use of node-growl in order to make desktop notifications cross platform-ish.
Example
grunt.initConfig({
growl : {
myMessage : {
message : "Some message",
title : "Notification Title",
image : __dirname + "/foo.png"
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-growl');
grunt.registerTask('default', 'growl:myMessage');
If you run 'grunt' you would see something like this:
Notification Properties
- message (required) : The message of the of notification
- title (optional) : The title of the notification
- image (optional) : The image of the notification. Use __dirname to make path to image relative to your gruntfile.
