in-app pure frontend notification

[iambighead]

I am working on latest wails 2.1.
Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I am looking for a way to have simple in-app notification, like for info, or warning, or error, something better than plain alert ()

I see there is a road map for Notification support #1788
but that seems to from golang backend to OS. I am looking from pure front-end perspective.

I have tried things like noty, reach-notification, react-toastify, but they don't seem to work for me.
I have experience with noty on pure browser/front-end development before so I am pretty sure it should works, but not sure if there is something i need to handle to get it working with wails app.

I am not looking to add additional component, i am happy to use 3rd part lib as long as it works.

Any one has success adding notification to their wails app?

According to MDN article，Https procotal is necessary for Web Notification。
Here is it：

In Wails app，it's static file but no server.Maybe pure frontend notification is not a good way

Maybe native GUI renderer is needed. I've seen the roadmap, wails notification API should wait for next version to resolve cross-platform compatibility.

Notifications is on the roadmap @iambighead

@leaanthony thanks. May i check the notification being mentioned is a desktop, aka OS level native notification, or in-app notification (render by HTML/CSS) ? I think Desktop / OS level notification are good and necessary, but currently I am look at a in-app notification mechanism.

Oh, if you want a toast-like notification there's plenty of libraries to do that.

yeah thats what I though as well but i tried a few seems not working me, so i am wondering if I am doing something wrong LOL
disclaimer I am pretty new to wails app development, but I had some experience from Electron.
