A dead simple Go library for sending notifications to various messaging services.
About
Notify started as a solution to a personal problem: I needed a simple way to send notifications across different messaging platforms. What began as a tool for my own use has grown into a library designed for quick integration and ease of use, applicable to any notification scenario you might have.
Disclaimer
Any misuse of this library is your own liability and responsibility and cannot be attributed to the authors of this library. See license for more.
Spamming through the use of this library may get you permanently banned on most supported platforms.
Since Notify is highly dependent on the consistency of the supported external services and the corresponding latest client libraries, we cannot guarantee its reliability nor its consistency, and therefore you should probably not use or rely on Notify in critical scenarios.
Install
go get -u github.com/nikoksr/notify
Example usage
// Create a telegram service. Ignoring error for demo simplicity.
telegramService, _ := telegram.New("your_telegram_api_token")
// Passing a telegram chat id as receiver for our messages.
// Basically where should our message be sent?
telegramService.AddReceivers(-1234567890)
// Tell our notifier to use the telegram service. You can repeat the above process
// for as many services as you like and just tell the notifier to use them.
// Inspired by http middlewares used in higher level libraries.
notify.UseServices(telegramService)
// Send a test message.
_ = notify.Send(
context.Background(),
"Subject/Title",
"The actual message - Hello, you awesome gophers! :)",
)
Recommendation
In this example, we use the global Send() function. Similar to most logging libraries such as
zap, we provide global functions for convenience. However, as with most logging
libraries, we also recommend avoiding the use of global functions as much as possible. Instead, use one of our versatile
constructor functions to create a new local Notify instance and pass it down the stream.
