Show notifications from scripts in node.js

So that I never forget when I need it: The module node-notifier can be used to display desktop notifications on windows_, _mac and linux with notify-osd or libnotify-bin.

Example

Straight from the official doc.

const notifier = require('node-notifier');
// String 
notifier.notify('Title', 'Message');

// Object 
notifier.notify({
  'title': 'My notification',
  'message': 'Hello, there!'
});

Another example

From file notify-sample.js adapted from the official doc.

const notifier = require('node-notifier');
const path = require('path');

let options = {
  title: 'Wake up',
  message: "It's time!",
  icon: path.join(__dirname, 'emilia.jpg'), // Absolute path (doesn't work on balloons)
  sound: true, // Only Notification Center or Windows Toasters
}

notifier.notify(options)

What the notification looks like

Windows 10 Notice

Toast can be configured to show the notification in the information center.

Additionally to the information listed in the doc

From mikaelbr/gulp-notify#90 (comment)
You can make it work by going to System > Notifications & Actions. The 'toast' app needs to have Banners enabled. (You can activate banners by clicking on the 'toast' app and setting the 'Show notification banners' to On)

Also on Windows 10 I was able to activate the entry show in information center for the app toast. That way I can see a timeline of these requests
