# useWebNotification

Reactive [Notification](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification)

The Web Notification interface of the Notifications API is used to configure and display desktop notifications to the user.

## Usage

::: tip
Before an app can send a notification, the user must grant the application the right to do so. The user's OS settings may also prevent expected notification behaviour.
:::

```ts
import { useWebNotification } from '@vueuse/core'

const {
  isSupported,
  notification,
  permissionGranted,
  show,
  close,
  onClick,
  onShow,
  onError,
  onClose,
} = useWebNotification({
  title: 'Hello, VueUse world!',
  dir: 'auto',
  lang: 'en',
  renotify: true,
  tag: 'test',
})

if (isSupported.value && permissionGranted.value)
  show()
```

This composable also utilizes the createEventHook utility from '@vueuse/shared`:

```ts
import { useWebNotification } from '@vueuse/core'

const { onClick, onShow, onError, onClose, } = useWebNotification()
// ---cut---
onClick((evt: Event) => {
  // Do something with the notification on:click event...
})

onShow((evt: Event) => {
  // Do something with the notification on:show event...
})

onError((evt: Event) => {
  // Do something with the notification on:error event...
})

onClose((evt: Event) => {
  // Do something with the notification on:close event...
})
```
