Usage

There are two types of notifications, one is <code>inline_notify</code>, for javascript alert and javascript console notifiers, which returns a string and will be combined, the other is <code>out_of_channel_notify</code>, for rails logger, customized logger, xmpp, which doesn't return anything, just send the message to the notifiers.

By default, all notifiers are disabled, you should enable them first.

# javascript alert
UniformNotifier.alert = true
# javascript alert with options
# the attributes key adds custom attributes to the script tag appended to the body
UniformNotifier.alert = { :attributes => { :nonce => 'mySecret-nonce', 'data-key' => 'value' } }

# javascript console (Safari/Webkit browsers or Firefox w/Firebug installed)
UniformNotifier.console = true
# javascript console with options
# the attributes key adds custom attributes to the script tag appended to the body
UniformNotifier.console = { :attributes => { :nonce => 'mySecret-nonce', 'data-key' => 'value' } }

# rails logger
UniformNotifier.rails_logger = true

# airbrake
UniformNotifier.airbrake = true
# airbrake with options
UniformNotifier.airbrake = { :error_class => Exception }

# AppSignal
UniformNotifier.appsignal = true
# AppSignal with options
UniformNotifier.appsignal = { :namespace => "Background", :tags => { :hostname => "frontend1" } }

# Honeybadger
#
# Reporting live data from development is disabled by default. Ensure
# that the `report_data` option is enabled via configuration.
UniformNotifier.honeybadger = true
# Honeybadger with options
UniformNotifier.honeybadger = { :error_class => 'Exception' }

# rollbar
UniformNotifier.rollbar = true
# rollbar with options (level can be 'debug', 'info', 'warning', 'error' or 'critical')
UniformNotifier.rollbar = { :level => 'warning' }

# bugsnag
UniformNotifier.bugsnag = true
# bugsnag with options
UniformNotifier.bugsnag = { :api_key => 'something' }

# slack
UniformNotifier.slack = true
# slack with options
UniformNotifier.slack = { :webhook_url => 'http://some.slack.url', :channel => '#default', :username => 'notifier' }

# customized logger
logger = File.open('notify.log', 'a+')
logger.sync = true
UniformNotifier.customized_logger = logger

# xmpp
UniformNotifier.xmpp = { :account => 'sender_account@jabber.org',
                         :password => 'password_for_jabber',
                         :receiver => 'recipient_account@jabber.org',
                         :show_online_status => true }

# terminal-notifier
UniformNotifier.terminal_notifier = true

# raise an error
UniformNotifier.raise = true # raise a generic exception

class MyExceptionClass < Exception; end
UniformNotifier.raise = MyExceptionClass # raise a custom exception type

UniformNotifier.raise = false # don't raise errors

After that, you can enjoy the notifiers, that's cool!

# the notify message will be notified to rails logger, customized logger or xmpp.
UniformNotifier.active_notifiers.each do |notifier|
  notifier.out_of_channel_notify("customize message")
end

# the notify message will be wrapped by <script type="text/javascript">...</script>,
# you should append the javascript_str at the bottom of http response body.
# for more information, please check https://github.com/flyerhzm/bullet/blob/master/lib/bullet/rack.rb
responses = []
UniformNotifier.active_notifiers.each do |notifier|
  responses << notifier.inline_notify("customize message")
end
javascript_str = responses.join("\n")
