Notifications

GitHub npm crates.io

API Reference

Send native notifications to your user using the notification plugin.

Setup

Install the notifications plugin to get started.

Automatic

Use your project’s package manager to add the dependency:

npm

npm run tauri add notification

yarn

yarn run tauri add notification

pnpm

pnpm tauri add notification

bun

bun tauri add notification

cargo

cargo tauri add notification

Manual

1. Run the following command in the src-tauri folder to add the plugin to the project’s dependencies in Cargo.toml:

   cargo add tauri-plugin-notification

2. Modify lib.rs to initialize the plugin:

   src-tauri/src/lib.rs

   #[cfg_attr(mobile, tauri::mobile_entry_point)]
   pub fn run() {
       tauri::Builder::default()
           .plugin(tauri_plugin_notification::init())
           .run(tauri::generate_context!())
           .expect("error while running tauri application");
   }

3. If you’d like to use notifications in JavaScript then install the npm package as well:

   npm

   npm install @tauri-apps/plugin-notification

   yarn

   yarn add @tauri-apps/plugin-notification

   pnpm

   pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-notification

   bun

   bun add @tauri-apps/plugin-notification

Usage

Here are a few examples of how to use the notification plugin:

• Send notification to users
• Add an action to a notification
• Add an attachment to a notification
• Send a notification in a specific channel

The notification plugin is available in both JavaScript and Rust.

Send Notification

Follow these steps to send a notification:

1. Check if permission is granted

2. Request permission if not granted

3. Send the notification

JavaScript

import {
  isPermissionGranted,
  requestPermission,
  sendNotification,
} from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
// when using `"withGlobalTauri": true`, you may use
// const { isPermissionGranted, requestPermission, sendNotification, } = window.__TAURI_PLUGIN_NOTIFICATION__;

// Do you have permission to send a notification?
let permissionGranted = await isPermissionGranted();

// If not we need to request it
if (!permissionGranted) {
  const permission = await requestPermission();
  permissionGranted = permission === 'granted';
}

// Once permission has been granted we can send the notification
if (permissionGranted) {
  sendNotification({ title: 'Tauri', body: 'Tauri is awesome!' });
}

Rust

tauri::Builder::default()
    .plugin(tauri_plugin_notification::init())
    .setup(|app| {
        use tauri_plugin_notification::NotificationExt;
        app.notification()
            .builder()
            .title("Tauri")
            .body("Tauri is awesome")
            .show()
            .unwrap();

        Ok(())
    })
    .run(tauri::generate_context!())
    .expect("error while running tauri application");
