Notify.js is a small JavaScript wrapper around the Web Notifications API that simplifies requesting user permission and handling notification events. It provides convenience callbacks and methods for showing, closing, and reacting to browser notifications.

Use cases

  • show desktop notifications from a web app
  • request browser notification permission
  • handle notification click and close events
  • check if the browser supports web notifications
  • auto-close notifications after a timeout

When to choose

  • you want a tiny, dependency-free wrapper for the Web Notifications API
  • you need simple permission handling with callbacks
  • you're targeting browsers with the standard Notifications API

When to avoid

  • you need push notifications via a service worker
  • you want a full-featured notification library with UI components
  • you need actively maintained software with recent releases
